 A few good features, but returned due to problems December 3, 2008
Jay A. Ellefson (Portland, OR USA)
It was great when we first brought it home. We loved that it sat up high so that our 12 month old could see out the window and that we could easily recline the seat while we were driving. This is one of the only car seats on the market that has this feature. A car seat inspector also said that it was a good, safe car seat.
After a month or two, the slider for the reline was hard and and harder to pull. Then the straps in the back/inside got all mangled all of the sudden and we had to unscrew it all to get the straps right again. Luckily we bought it from Babies R Us so they took it back.
Other cons:
-agree with others cheep fabric
-it is massive, tight fit for most cars!!!
-not a convertable seat.
I would instead recommend the Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat in Matrix which we have had for several months and we love it! You get more bang for your buck too because it is convertable.
 Great Seat! December 2, 2008
Coop's Mom
This is the 2nd Step 2 SafeSeat I have bought. It's my daughter's primary seat in my car and my husbands. The recline feature is great, it comfortable, the straps never get twisted. I haven't had an issue with either seat having the wings break off. It is a big car seat, but it fits in my Liberty and Tacoma just fine. Will be buying two moer of these for my son when he can be in a forward facing seat.
styrofoam back easily accessed and broken November 11, 2008
S. Neibergs (Bend Oregon)
I like this car seat except for that the styrofoam back was easily broken in half by my toddler, while he was climbing about in the (parked) car one day (I was cleaning the car interior!). All he had to do was pull up the stretchy fabric cover---which is just pulled over the frame, not secured in any way, and grab the styrofoam frame that cushions the back. The styrofoam is loosely attached to the frame and easy to pull up and break. Graco does sell a replacement---$14.95 including shipping---but what a hassle!
GIGANTIC.... October 9, 2008
Gwen Sarabosing (NY)
HUGE! if you have a big car it's fine. it's nice that it reclines, but the sides of it are really high... when you sit beside the baby, you have to lean over to look at him, coz you cant see him from the side. overall though, i would still say it is worth it because of the reclining mechanism.
great seat! material doesn't breathe September 18, 2008
Rachel Taylor (Lee's Summit, MO USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
i love this seat. it is so comfy for my 2 year old. he has been in it a year and it's still perfect. my only complaint is that the shiny material doesn't breathe and his back is always sweaty even if it's just warm out. some of the other colors of this seat are made of better material so i would go with a different color.
