 Unless you have a preemie, don't bother November 18, 2008
TraceyTH (Merrimack, NH USA)
My son is 4 months old, 16lbs and average height.
The straps - even when he's wearing nothing but a romper - are so short that I cannot get it around him without feeling like I'm going to break his shoulders. He actually cries.
I purchased the seat for the safety rating and the triangular handle.
I emailed BabyTrend directly to try to figure out what was wrong with the seat, and they really didn't give me an answer except to quote that they meet safety regulations.
Unless you have a preemie, I wouldn't bother ordering this item. There has to be something better out there. My daughter had a Graco and we loved it, I just liked the colors of this one better.
Should have purchased something else.
 good car seat November 9, 2008
A. Templin (Everett, Wa)
I purchased two of these because I had twins and they have been good car seats. The one thing that frustrated me was that the handles are very difficult to release so that you can get the babies out.
 Needs more cushion, hard to adjust belts October 13, 2008
Lauralei (Washington)

We were at first excited to get this car seat because it fit into the convenient Baby Trend Snap and Go stroller, which I recommend. However, the car seat itself damaged our baby's head and required trips to the doctor! The seat has absolutely no padding, and our baby got bruises and infections on her head from rubbing against the hard sides. This happened naturally during driving, sitting, or napping, so I do NOT recommend this seat. Yes, you can get your own head support cushion, but these can be dangerous if they do not fit the seat correctly, so it's better to get a seat with cushion built in already.
Also, the straps were very hard to adjust and repeatedly got twisted. They also were too tight after our (small) baby was only 4 months old. We ended up purchasing the Graco pink and brown car seat travel system which has more padding and is much easier to adjust.
 Great car seat! September 6, 2008

We chose this car seat because of the great reviews on other websites as well as the consumer reports ratings. It can be a bit heavy for some people but my daughter is now 7 months and 16lbs and I'm still able to carry her from the car to the house no problem, and sometimes I carry her even farther than that, up stairs, etc. I use it with the Snap n Go stroller as well as the Baby Trend Expedition jogging stroller and I've never had any problems. I like that the headrest is adjustable. The straps are easy to adjust and the carseat itself is easy to get in and out of the car with the base.
Very Hard to Put Handle up and Down August 5, 2008
J. Gregory
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Being the dad, I was the only one strong enough to put the handle up and down. My wife, grandparents, friends, and babysitter couldn't do it. We returned it for a second and had the same problem. It was so bad we ended up eating the cost and buying a Graco Snug ride which worked just fine. Also this seat does not come with head insert for infants and the strap is very short and as a result is hard to use. Buyer beware.
