Safe if used correctly, but nearly impossible to do so.

I bought this car seat for 2 reasons:  Consumer Reports gave it a good rating and it was inexpensive.  I have been very dissapointed with this seat.  It is difficult to install tightly enough that it stays absolutely still and if you do manage to do that, it is nearly impossible to remove it from the car again.  Also the straps are difficult to loosen and tighten so it is tempting to just put the child in and not worry too much if the straps are too loose.  Of course this could spell disaster in a car crash, but let's face it, sometimes when we are running behind we aren't doing our best thinking.  The bottom line is that if the seat is used correctly it is extremely safe, but it is very hard to use correctly.
