Working great for my son, would definitely recommend this car seat. The seat is spacious and comfortable. Don't know if the slight shakiness after installing is normal or not, but it's definitely safe.

It simple easy to use. The straps are comfortable easy to stretch. It's light to move from car to car. The length tall wise is east to extend. They have extra padding on the seat that you can slowly remove as. child gets older. Overall a Great purchase.

This is exactly what i was looking for! Very easy to install, straps are comfy (my baby doesn’t complain), and it’s slim enough where it’s not taking up too much space! Only reason i gave it 4 stars was because the one cup holder already came off even though i can just put it right back on.

We chose this car seat for 3 reasons: (1) It’s one of the most recommended seats for air travel due to how lightweight it is (2) It’s slim enough for our family’s secondary vehicle, a pickup truck with an access cab backseat and (3) It’s an affordable price for a backup convertible car seat that will rarely be used. I love how easy it was for me to install in the truck, and it is certainly much more lightweight than our Nuna Rava that we have in our primary vehicle. For most people complaining in their reviews that their child’s feet touch the backseat when rear-facing: that is normal and most states by law require you to keep your child rear-facing until at least 2 years old. That’s my one con with this seat: it only allows rear-facing until 40 lbs, not 50 lbs like our Rava. But because we don’t plan on using this seat daily, we are okay with it. Please people, do your research on car seat safety. Some of these reviews are scary.

Love this for my baby. She is only 1 but she is too long for the rear facing position. She loves facing towards her mommy💚💚 I also love the extra padding so her head doesn’t hang over when she falls asleep.

Very happy with the seat

I bought this car seat so when we baby sit my granddaughter we can use it to take her to park and other places. It fits perfectly in my car and is very stable if you follow the instructions. I was concerned about the stability of the seat based on few of the reviews so I made sure and followed the instructions and tightened the straps as described in the owners manual and it was perfect! I'm very happy with the seat.

Only 2 recline options
3 out of 5 stars
- 2 months ago
originally posted on gracobaby.com
Really bummed, but it was my fault for not realizing but this car seat has no other recline options except just rear facing and forward facing, and those can’t be adjusted. My baby doesn’t like to be in full recline mode (laying back) and unfortunately that’s the only option we have until he can be forward facing. Most car seats will have options to sit up a bit more as he gets older. I went with this car seat because of the price as I needed 3 car seats. Returning is too much of a hassle for such big items so we may have to just deal with it.

I love the padding in the carseat, it has a lot ofnpadding so i know its comfortable. Although it it slim, its heavy to carry, i think its the heaviest carseat I have had so far. Its NOT the carseat you want if tou are switching cars or you need it to travel.

Great Simple Awesome Car Seat

Great car seat. Bought a fancy one with all the bells and whistles with the second kid, and went back to the simple Contender as soon as we needed another one. The contender line is great. This one is super awesome because it is skinnier if you're trying to fit more people in a car or 3 carseats side by side. Knocked off a star for the annoying cup holder that falls out all the time when you are trying to grab your drink.

Lightweight and wasy to install quickly! Bought this one as our "travel" seat since we have several flights this summer. Not the easiest thing to carry through the airport but no carseat is. Very easy to seatbelt install (only done rear facing as little guy is 12mo) and fits perfectly on a plane seat!

We purchased this for a flight to Hawai’i which was going to be 5 hours and 7 hours for our 10 month old. It was the most light weight one we could find and it fit in the seat. It was better front facing than read facing we found in regard to room and ability to buckle it.

I bought this car seat thinking it’d be a great conversion car seat as baby ages. My little one is two and can unbuckle this car seat. Believe me, I and my husband have made sure it’s securely buckled and he still is able to unbuckle the chest straps. Now, I can’t go with him anywhere until I find another car seat. I didn’t think he had enough strength in his hands to get it unbuckled until one time I looked in my rear view mirror and saw him leaning forward with only the leg buckled straps on. 😳 Every time we went somewhere after that, sure enough, he was unbuckling himself, so now we just don’t go anywhere. I loved this car seat until then.
