Evenflo® Embrace™ Infant Car Seat, Stephanie

We are a public agency and purchased these car seats using grant money. To our surprise the car seats we received were manufactured in 2014 with an expiration date of 5/2020. This is not acceptable. Plus the boxes they were shipped in had 5 years of dust and dirt on them. Thankfully we were able to return them to our local Walmart.

I love this car seat for a few reasons. I like that you can adjust the straps without have to take it apart from the back. I love the head rest also. My daughter is tiny. She weighs 11 lbs and is 5 months old and this car seat is perfect for her. Only thing that i don't like about it is that the car seat is fading a little. I bought it brand new so it shouldn't be fading any. I do wash it a lot because my daughter spits up A LOT! I also don't like how there are holes where the straps come up from around the legs. When my daughter spits up it runs down and out of the car seat and leaks all over the place. Would of been much easier to clean up with just a spit up rag and soak it up that way. Instead it leaks into the base of the car seat and i have to clean it out every day. But i used a graco car seat with my son and this is way better.

So I'm not saying the seat is a bad car seat...it works just fine except for the minor issue of the hood popping off sometimes...i really would just like to say that since the law says rear facing for at least a year now I wished I would have spent the money and got a next step convertible one that is 5-80lbs rear & forward because now I'm running into the problem of having to get another car seat before the year is up...it is lighter-weight than some but still a pain to carry like most seats are...I will say that it does fit pretty good on most baskets & the snap & go stroller & the padding is decent : )

I loved this car seat. I chose this for my twins. But it does not work at all with Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Double Universal Double Stroller. The way the Handles are made it would not sit correctly in the Snap and Go and kept moving. Unfortunately I had to return this car seat and go with a Baby Trend for the safety of my girls.

This is a great car seat light weight love that its easy to snap in and out of the base also love the pillow really supports her head and very good price the only thing i wish that the shade would cover more other then that great seat
