Eddie Bauer XRS 65 Convertible Car Seat product details page

My 13 month old loves to be in this carseat versus the newborn-infant one we had. It fits well rear-facing in our midsized car. One little negative note is that the crotch buckle is a little short for my son. Love the feel of the cushion. Easy to install and very simple to loosen/tighten the harness.

Our son is14 months old and is growing so fast! We needed to find a new seat for the car that fits his length and get it fast. He loves being the car and has never complained about being uncomfortable. I noticed a huge difference in how much he talked and wanted to look around when we bought this seat. He actually takes little naps in the car which he hasn't done since he was a newborn. He now drinks from a sippy cup and enjoys being able to use the cup holder all by himself. This seat is very padded around the head for side impact safety, it also seems very comfy for a head rest too. With him growing so fast that the nicest feature is that you can easily adjust the straps without having to take the seat and the baby completely out. That fast adjustment is huge for a stay at home Mom on the go. This is a must buy!

After buying several convertible seats this was the first that fit well and was comfortable for my kid. I don't drive an overly small car but it took several tries to get one that fit right, convertible seats are just really big and bulky. Eddie Bauer has always been one of my favorite brands for price and quality.

We just switched our daughter out of the baby carrier car seat into this Eddie Bauer one, and I almost wish we'd done it sooner! She loves it! Lately, it was a struggle for her to fall asleep in the "baby" carseat, this one must be super comfortable, because she's out like a light in 2 minutes! It was a challenge for my husband to install, but if you READ the directions, that makes it a lot easier! I'm very impressed with the quality of the seat and it fits really nicely in my mid- size car. It's very easy to use once installed. If you are looking for a good transitioning car seat, I really think this is it!

Our son is 10 months old so we are using this rear facing. We tried another brand, but it was so bulky! Too big for our smallish cars- [...]. We purchased for one car, loved it, and will be buying this model for the second car. After reading the reviews and seeing it in the store, I knew this was the right one. All car seats are difficult to install. They have to fit snug, and that is challenging! I don't think this one is more difficult than any other brand though.

I drive a 2002 Grand Prix and was having the hardest time finding a rear facing that would fit. This fits perfect rear facing and my son LOVES IT! We have an Alpha Omega in my husbands truck and he HATES it. I did have to use pool noodles to recline it but its perfect!

I bought this seat for my 8 month old. He was getting way to big for his carrier. So far I love it. I have a compact car, and two other children who are in car seat so it fits perfectly between them. I love the style and design of this seat, and my son seems to be very comfortable and happy in it.

I own a [Brand], small compact car, and this is the only car seat that actually fits comfortably! Some of the other popular car seats literally couldn't even fit through the door! It is also a good price point and great quality. Straight forward design, easy to use harness. We have only used this car seat forward facing. Very happy with it.

My husband and I searched online and in stores for a GREAT, not good car seat for our 12 month old. I feel we made the right decision with this one. We have three kids that all still need some kind of child safety seat, so the size was important as well as comfort and safety. This car seat is firm and soft where it needs to be and provides our little guy the safety and comfort he needs. I find there to be many car seats on the market that are overly priced because of their flashy name, even tho ugh the most of them have the same quality as the lower priced car seats. I mean really, who can afford to spend around [$] on a car seat with everything else you have to buy for your baby in this economy? And don't forget, we mommies tend to have more then one child to buy for. This car seat gets a 5 for GREAT quality, comfort, size, price and for the sanity of a mom who is overly obsessive about her children's safety and can't afford a pricey [$] car seat.

This is a wonderful car seat, its so easy to install, and its great for slightly smaller vehicles...it fits wonderful in my VW jetta! Its padded great and seems very comfy for my little girl...we bought this when my daughter was about 10months old...and we used it rear facing for atleast 5 months...and it fit great and very secure. We are actually about to purchase a second one for my husbands car. Before this carseat, we had purchased about 3 different ones, one was an evenflo, one was saf ety 1st and they were HUGE and not secure. So this is one of the best for sure!
