We got this car seat for our first child.  I spent hours on line looking at safety ratings and user reviews.  We ended up purchasing the Graco Snug Ride.  It was a great purchase.  It is easy to install in the vehicle and it is easy to get the infant in and out.  We bought the stroller that goes with the carseat and that was really nice too...very easy to attach the car seat to it.  I also liked the array of fabric choices they had available.  We were able to get a fabric that matched our nursery theme.

The only downside for us was the carrying handle.  I think it would have been much easier...
