You get what you pay
The price is great for a backup carseat. Installation instructions were difficult to follow, car Installation was also tricky we had to use the option 2 they provide because the 1st one wouldn't allow for the seat to sit flush against the car seats. The button that is used to losen the harness is way into the seat so you have to feel around for it. The waist band on the 5 point harness is also is smaller so its tighter. Our child is tall and skinny, would not recommend for a bigger child there is very little harness slack. Our primary seat is a Chicco which is WAY more user friendly and instructions are was better. Definitely will not be purchasing this item again.

Hard No From Me
If I could give this car seat a rating out of 100, it would be -1000. You get what you pay for. Maybe it’s just not suitable for an 05 Corolla. Maybe it’s just junk.

Back base lock breaks
I wanted to really like this but it is not very safe. You have to really watch the videos to see how to strap it in correctly. you have to strap in the base as well as the back. Then the back has a plastic tab that keeps it locked to the base. It is easily broken, which happened to us. Our toddler stood on it and pushed the back and it fell against the wall and snapped the little tab so the back no longer locks in, rendering the back with harness useless.

Hello Miranda, Thank you for reaching out. We are so sorry to hear that this seat didn't work out as expected for your family. Please rest assured that safety is our highest priority, and all of our car seats are rigorously tested to meet or exceed all federal safety standards. Because car seats are engineered specifically for restraint while seated, the components are not designed to withstand weight or force applied by a child standing on the backrest.

Very cheaply made! Material snags and looks all worn out after only a few months. Belts constantly get twisted just don’t feel very safe.!

This is a forward sitting carseat only. I wish the description would specifically note that. Otherwise it seems pretty nice, especially for very reasonable cost.

5-point harness was too short for my grandson. I carefully checked the recommended height and product size before purchasing, but unfortunately, it didn’t work for him. The harness was too tight and there wasn’t enough room to adjust it properly. We were unable to use the car seat safely

Economical and easy to install
The covering is very thin so it is uncomfortable for long road trips. However, the padded insert does provide some relief, but your child can quickly outgrow the insert. When we first took it out of the box, we had a really difficult time undoing the latches because of the way they were put together. They were clipped together in a awkward way. Overall, it is economical and does provide solid protection, and it is easy for your child to independently buckle and unbuckle themselves when getting in and out of the car for school. It was also easy to install. If it wasn’t for my child constantly complaining about their bottom hurting, I would give this car seat a solid 5 stars.

Great Carseat
I absolutely love this car seat for my 4 year old. He is 36 lbs and the seat is slim. Also I like that the buckle is cushioned so it can’t pinch him.
