Gets stuck
I am 3 months into using these seats for my twins and I hate them so much. Every single time I have to get them out of the car seat or off the stroller the handle in the back gets stuck so I need two hand to squeeze the lever and have to use so much force to get them up. They also feel like they don’t click into the base all the way so I have to push them down firmly wh...

Favorite Car Seat We Have Ever Had!
We have had three prior brands of car seats. Two of which were very pricey and supposed to be "elite" brands. This seat exceeds them all. It's stylish, padding feels very comfortable, easy to clean and looks so expensive and luxurious. We love it and would recommend it to anyone!

Love it! Slight disappointment in cover
Love the car seat! Love the brand. Nice materials for the fabric. Only thing I was slightly disappointed in was the way the “foot cover” attached to the car seat. It has the same plastic flaps that slide under the sides by the seat cover.

Premium and high quality with only one complaint
Really like this car seat, feels premium and is light to carry. For comparison we had a Chico car seat before, this 35 Elite is lighter. The base is designed such that the car seat sits deep in the seat, giving room between the front seat and the back of the car seat. The sun shade works well and is easy to open and close with one hand, and doesn't feel cheap. Previous ...

Seat malfunctions
I regret getting this car seat. It's a pain to try to get out and it doesn't latch when installing the car seat. To get it to latch all the way, I have to stand up in the truck and push down on the seat. Very concerning, when it comes to the safety of my baby.

Locking system not easily secured and hard to rem!
I bought this product for my first baby and honestly wish I went with a more expensive brand. This car seat doesn’t properly lock or click into the base and I hear it lock in place sometimes when leaving the driveway after thinking it was already secured. Also, it’s sometimes nearly impossible to get the car seat out of the base. I squeeze the release button and pull up...

Amazing buy for the elements
Just as described and got it at a great price for black Friday. This will be great for the Alaskan winter without having to smother the baby in layers when she comes in February. Wonderfully made with features such as the level based on age. Haven't tried it yet but we are excited.

First time mom
Love it! So cute and comfy. From day one, I’ve never been concerned about safety with this seat. I bought it as a first time mom and wanted one with the rebound bar for extra protection. It’s so easy to maneuver and my baby is happy with it. The fabric is excellent quality. We have been using for 3,months and you would never be able to tell. My only suggestion would be ...

So far SO GOOD!
We are excited to meet our baby girl in a few weeks! We haven't used our car seat yet but I'm very impressed with the quality, ease of install, and price point on this car seat. 4/5 because I can't give it a full 5 stars until baby girl comes home with us in it but I'm confident this is the car seat for us based on installing and practicing with a baby doll haha!

Does not latch into base well at all.
This car seat makes me so frustrated every single time we go anywhere. When you sit it in the base, it’ll click once, maybe twice. So you THINK your baby is safe. But if you push on all 4 of the corners of the car seat, you’ll find out that it’ll click several more times!!!! Meaning it’s falsely leading parents to believe the car seat is secure! And 50% of the time, whe...

Great car seat…base is just okay
I received this as a baby shower gift and my baby is almost 2 months old. They car seat is great! Fits her well and she looks so comfortable in it. The weather boot is an added plus! My baby likes to kick the blanket off her legs. This weather boot keeps her warm without the blanket she constantly kicks off or could turn into a safety issue. Now the base…it is great whe...

Wish I loved it
I was skeptical about this car seat the moment I got it in the mail but my husband convinced me to keep it because it seemed so high end and safe. The car seat is high end. The fabric is extremely soft and the head support is fantastic for s newborn. The base is also great. HOWEVER… I purchased this car seat because I liked the idea of a hand button in the middle I coul...

Worth every penny
This seat is well worth the investment to have something that is extremely safe, easy to use, looks sharp, and will outlast other systems with its slightly higher weight rating. The learning curve on using this seat is very easy, and installation is a snap once you’ve sorted out the latch points in your vehicle for the base, which is included. There are also easy-to-fol...
