This car seat was simple to use and held my son until he was 6 months old. I chose it because it was part of a jogging stroller system. I had no issues with the car seat, but had multiple issues with the stroller. I called baby trend several times, and was consistently told that they do not do returns or exchanges. I believe I received a faulty stroller, and they basically send there was nothing they could do. I will never buy baby trend again.
