This seat is really nice. Comfy- we've taken some long trips in it and no whining. It had the best safety ratings that I could afford- a Britax is fantastic if you can afford one, but if you can't (I have a lot of priorities- we weren't going to eat Kraft Mac and Cheese for a week in order to buy Britax) but this seat was definitely a good substitute. I love that it's adjustable in so many ways, and the rearfacing limits are really high. We're nowhere close, but I believe it was 45 pounds rearfacing, and at 26 pounds at two years, we have a long way to go before being forced to turn her around. It IS really hard to move around between cars, but since that doesn't happen often for me, it doesn't bother me. I think the size is what contributes to the safety, so it's well worth having the trouble of moving it. I love the infinity strap adjustments- it's always a really nice fit. I also think it's really nice to have it be large enough to make it really comfortable for her to strech out. I do wish the pillow would hold her head up better- when she sleeps, her head sinks to one side and she looks very uncomfortable, though she loves sleeping in her seat, so it can't be that bad! I really wish this seat would be easier to loosen. I'm not sure if it's just MY seat, but the little red handle to release the straps is very sticky and hard to push. I've never heard of any other complaints, but WD40 did nothing to help, and it is quite a struggle sometimes.
