Description

From baby to big kid, the Continuum 3-in-1 car seat is there for your family through three different stages from 5-80 pounds.
This adaptable car seat can be used in the rear-facing position from 5-40 pounds, and includes a comfy grow-with-baby pillow to give a smaller baby a snug fit. The pillow easily removes when no longer needed. Once in forward-facing mode, the Continuum keeps your child safer in the harness up to 50 pounds. When your child is ready to transition to vehicle seat belts, simply remove the harness to use the Continuum 3-in-1 Car Seat in belt-positioning booster mode all the way up to 80 pounds.
In both rear-facing and forward-facing mode, harness holders keep the harness in an open position. This makes it easier for you to get your child in and out of the car seat.
The Continuum is simple to clean with a machine washable and dryer safe cover that removes easily from the seat.
The Continuum is designed to provide more comfort to you and your other adult passengers too. It takes up less room when placed rear-facing, giving up to 7 inches more leg room for grownups in the front seat.

Q: does this car seat work with a stroller? or do we have to buy a stroller and another car seat for an infant

submitted by Lilrose60 - 6 years ago
  • A: This is the very first carseat i have ever bought for my child, after reasearching we decided to buy this instead of the newborn carseat with the stroller since they grow up so fast. This is not compatible with the stroller this is too big for it, you might have to buy the right carseat that is removable from the carseat to stroller. I am lucky some friends gave their used stroller for my baby to use.

    submitted byApril - 6 years ago
  • A: The Continuum 3 in 1 is a convertible car seat and not compatible with a stroller. Typically only infant car seats can be used on a stroller.

It worked for us only while rear facing but it’s never been our favorite car seat. We’ve installed according to the manual and it’s ALWAYS loose when wiggling it from the base. We have had no issues with this on any other car seat so I know it’s not user error. Also, the straps have cut into my daughter’s neck a number of times when barely tightened enough. This is the only car seat that has done this and she audibly says “ow” when being put in. After having it as a BACKUP (so not regularly used) car seat for just 2 years, the chest buckle seems to be faulty. I can easily pull it apart without pressing the button/unlatching it. It just comes right apart and wouldn’t hold my daughter in if we were to get into an accident. It overall just feels very unsafe. We are replacing it asap. Besides the safety concerns, the cup holder was a huge annoyance. It’s very easily removable so for as long as I can remember my daughter has been easily able to remove it and toss it around the car. It’s been lost a number of times. Not as big of a deal but an annoyance for sure.

It's so difficult to get strapped in tight enough to where the seat doesn't move around. Also once you raise the backup as your child gets bigger the things at the top constantly rattle!!! If the child is not in the seat. I will be buying a new car seat ASAP!! Which is ridiculous and difficult to do since we are a low income family.

My fiancé has a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500. We purchased this car seat specifically for his truck. Unfortunately no matter how you try to install it when rear facing it does not work. We even had a certified car seat tech attempt to install it as well and still had no luck after 3 hours. Even after putting my full body weight (145lbs)in the seat and tightening the seatbelt it is still too loose and ends not passing the "1 inch moving test". The whole carseat tips over. We are very disappointed. Unfortunately we threw out the packaging and are unable to return it or we would have. So for now the carseat is just taking up space in our garage.

Love the snug fit of this seat in my vehicle, I have leather seats so other seats tend to move even when tightened and this one does not. My daughter loves the new view she has while in the vehicle as this seat sits higher and am also now able to see her in my rear view mirror. Super easy installation and easy to adjust head rest and harness. The cup holder is a plus and removes easily for cleaning. Can’t say enough great things- will likely get the same the seat for my husbands vehicle! Only complaint is the noise the harness buckle makes when my daughter is not in the seat-the metal latch at the bottom of the seat dangles and I can hear it over my music-but other than that I feel this seat is safe and perfect for our family!

Pros: Nice looking seat with plenty of support, yet sleek enough to fit in vehicle. The chest strap is nice and wide, and the buckle is easily used. Cons: For Rear facing option the anchor strap was very difficult to tighten. Even though I pushed the button down, It seemed to get stuck at the same point on the strap, leaving the seat dangerously loose. The strap and button had to be forced just to tighten the strap. Now, I cannot adjust the level of the seat because I won't be able to tighten it again and My son seems uncomfortable in the seat.

We used this as a spare until our daughter got older and the infant seat became difficult to carry around. I didn’t think much into after my husband installed it. Then we were in a wreck and thank God we were all okay but I became more aware of car seat safety. We replaced with the same car seat And it DOES NOT TIGHTEN! We thought it was just our car but it didn’t work in our other car, my mom’s or my mother-in-law’s. Even at its tightest, it still moved a good 3 or more inches in the seat. This seat is not safe!! Please look at other brands. I truly want our money back! I would give a 0 if I could!!

Great purchase-did a lot of research & this was by far the best deal price wise for what we were looking for. It was a little hard to get buckled in so it stayed tight but we’ve had that issue with every car seat we’ve ever had so nothing new there. It’s a new purchase but so far it’s working well & easy to get our daughter in & out of it.
