We used to dread long car rides with our 6-month old because the seat we had just wasn't comfortable. He would get squirmy very quickly trying to find a relaxed position for himself, and all diaper situations resulted in up-the-back messes because the seat didn't support his body correctly. The minute we put him in the Safety 1st Grow and Go seat we could tell the difference. He is all smiles for every ride! He is able to drink his bottle and fall asleep comfortably, and all diaper situations stay where they belong - in the diaper! Cheers to long car rides with way fewer pit stops! Safety 1st also makes installation easier by offering video tutorials for ideal visual guidance. The only reason it's not a full 5-star review is because we can't seem to get the head support cushions low enough to really hug his neck so when he falls asleep his head tends to fall forward.

This car seat is poorly constructed. The tether(anchor) strap is not long enough for my Ford Explorer technically making any installation incorrect. Wish I knew this before purchasing. The shoulder straps also get stuck while tightening and it takes a lot of muscle to pull tight. Do not purchase!

I love this carseat. My son was a big preemie and he fit perfectly in this seat. He's now a big 7 month old (26lbs and 29.75 inches) he's still on recline 3. It fits in the center back seat or our small 2000 Chevy Impala despite my 6'3" husband's seat being way back. There's an inches between hubby's seat and baby's carseat. My son is comfortable and happy in his seat. I've not had any issues with tightening the harness. This seat is very easy to install with seat belts, I don't know about latch since our car doesn't have that feature. I'm very happy with this seat in every way possible. My son gets hot easily and this seat doesn't make him sweat like the other carseat we have in grandma's car. Very happy with this carseat!

I loved this seat when we first purchased it, it was comfortable and easy to install. However, now that my daughter is over a year old it tips sideways while in the rearfacing position which is disappointing because I don't feel that she is safe now. I am looking into buying a new seat now from a different brand that others have reviewed as better compatible with rear facing.

We have been using this car seat for almost 6 months now and it has gone on three major road trips with up and it's great, my baby is comfortable and when she makes a mess I can easy pop the cover off and wash it without a hassle. Didn't use for her as a new born because where we live in the winter it gets -60 but once it warmed up I instantly put her in this seat and she is so much happier to ride in the car now!

Everything about this car seat is excellent! So easy to use, I love the color, and the fabric makes baby messes a sinch to clean up! I'm excited to have a seat that adjusts as my baby grows! Thank you so much for making this part of motherhood so much easier!!

We recieved the Safety First Grow and Go car seat for free for an honest review of it. And let me start by saying this product has been completely redesign from when we first bought the same product 4 years ago. The latch system is so much easier to use than it used to be, as is the seat adjustment. My son loves to ride in this seat as he is high enough up to be able to see out the windows now where he wasn't before. All in all this is a great product and I would give it more than just 5 stars if I was able to! Thanks Stellar Panel for the chance to retry this product we love it this time around.

Only complaint is that the harness straps are difficult to tighten as others have mentioned. I always have to tell my daughter to move her hand so I can brace myself on the cup holder and PULL! She's almost big enough to transition to the booster and I can't wait so I don't have to deal with the harness straps any longer. My son is in a Graco and the difference in tightening the straps makes me wish I would've spent the extra money and got a Graco for her too.

I bought this chair with the hope that my older daughter of 2 years slept more comfortable while we were in the car, that's why I chose this with three positions, which I could never use because when the chair is already installed, there is no way to put it down to really use the Positions it promises; The least that is expected is that it is safe and neither is, my daughter can easily remove the belt and get off the chair while I drive; Finally the terrible poor quality of the material of the lining, the first chair that my daughter had was of a material so good that is in perfect condition to the second one, in contrast this chair only has 3 months of bought and it is terrible, a material not thought for children nor to last. When I went back to return, they just said that I could not anymore, that's why I did not recommend it.

The design was very impressive, I love the way it looks especially the seatbelt hooks on the sides. I really like that it can grow with my child from infancy through childhood. I received this to review as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I'm 100% honest and feel like if you have a baby you need this, you'll be happy you did. The safety features of the car seat are my favorite part. It feels like it will protect my child at every angle. My son was so comfortable and happy in his new beautiful car seat. It was extremely easy for me to install this car seat. All I needed to do was put my cars seatbelt through the car seat and buckle it in. My favorite features of this car seat is the seatbelt covers the buckle cover and the seatbelt hooks because it keeps the seatbelt and buckle from rubbing causing irritation or burning. The hooks make it so much quicker for me to get my son buckled in and out.
