Baby Trend Flex Lock Reviews

The Baby Trend car seat has served us very well for the first year of my daughter's life; It is only for rear-facing and is not convertible.  I've never worried about my daughter's safety and the car seat has been very easy to use. There are, however, a couple of drawbacks to the car seat that potential buyers might want to be aware of.

First, the car seat was very easy to install safely. It uses the LATCH system to install and attaches via strong buckles. In addition, when it comes time to remove the car seat base from the car, there is a button much like a seat belt button that releases the buckles...

Bought this for my third child.  Had used a Graco one for the other two.  This is much easier to use.  Have adjusted the straps several times to allow for winter clothes.  Sooooo easy.  With a turn of a button on the back, voila.  

Narrow base is great for fitting a couple car seats into smaller cars.  (Pontiac Sunfire with three in the backseat, until we get our van.)

Only negative is the handle buttons are little tricky to push to get it to turn.  Not bad though, once I figured it out the handle turns easily.

Great product!!

I was very excited to get this car seat because it had recieved excellent reviews from Consumer Reports in their crash test ratings. However, the car seat was extremely difficult to install using LATCH. Neither my husband or I get the base to fit tightly in the seat. The LATCH components on both sides broke as we were trying to install it. We then tried to install it with the regular seat belt, but couldn't get a tight fit with that either. A car seat is only supposed to be able to move about one inch from side to side when it is installed correctly, and with LATCH and the seatbelt the base moved...

I absolutely  love the Baby Trend Flex Lock infant car seat.  The handle has a nice triangular shape making it easy to carry.  I also love that you do not have to retread the straps as baby grows.  This is a big plus.  As baby grows you can just turn the knob in the back to the right adjustment.  No special tools required.  I also love the fact that the weight limit is above 20 pounds.  My daughter is 18 months old and weighs right at 21 pounds so she can still fit in this seat.  There are only two things I was not too fond of about this seat.  One is the harness latch between the legs...

I bought this car seat with my first daughter.  I did a ton of research on car seats because not only did I want a car seat that was super safe but also one that had an easy to carry handle.  Evenflo has a handle that is flipped the other direction but that doesnt rate very high.  The traingle shaped handle allows my problematic wrists to hold the car seat a comfortable direction with minimalized pain.  The baby trend car seat with flex lock has a nice padded triange shaped handle that allows me to hold the carseat however is comfortable at that moment.  I love the fabric on mine, it is the...

 When I was pregnant with my first baby, I was looking for all the essentials needed for a baby: crib, car seat, etc. I wanted everything to be the best kind of stuff for my baby. The main thing I was really looking for was Safe products, especially in car seats. I tried doing a lot of research online to find the safest car seats out there. I discovered that the Baby Trend car seats were rated really well for safety so that's what I decided to go with. I ended up going with the Baby Trend Flex-Loc Infant Car seat, and I'm totally glad that I did! I love this car seat, it is perfect. I went with...

I am a mother of three, and each child had a different infant carseat.  I like this one the best overall, but there are features that could be improved.  I love the way the shoulder straps are adjusted, but I do not like the way the handle has to be moved.  I like how easy this carseat locks in and out of the base, and the way the base is secured into the vehicle.

The baby trend flex lock infant carseat is a good buy.  The carseat has regular infant carseat features, but I really liked how easy it is to adjust the height of the shoulder straps:  there is a knob that you twist on the back of...

Back in mid 2006 when I was expecting our first child my husband and I looked EVERYWHERE for the best infant car seat. After months of "car seat hunting" and doing a whole lot of research, we decided to go with a Baby Trend  Flex Lock Travel System. It was at a good price compared with other systems available in the market at the time and the reviews were more than promising. Therefore we decided to include it on our Baby Registry.The infant car seat has been a complete success for us since the "triangular" shape of the handle makes it very easy to carry allowing you to position your hand and...
