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.
