2007

This carseat offered the most important features that other carseats can't even come close to. It can keep your baby rear-facing for the longest time, making it the safest choice, and it'll be the last carseat you'll ever have to buy. I also love the straps because they never get twisted and are so easy to adjust, especially when your baby needs a bulky coat one day or a light jacket the next. And the buckles are so easy to use. Installation takes about 30 seconds, I switch the carseat between 3 different cars every day without a hassle. Overall it's the most comfortable for the baby and the most convenient for me, and obviously the most important benefit- the safest money can buy. When you consider the cost of replacing a cheaper carseat when the baby outgrows it, this more expensive carseat ends up being a bargain because you won't need to replace it. The only problem I have is the weight and the bulk. I can't switch the carseat to a different car and hold the baby at the same time because it's just too darn heavy and there's no convenient hand-hold to carry it with.
