Safety 1ˢᵗ All-in-One Sport Convertible Car Seat, Nightspots

I love the versatility of the convertible car seats. Only complaint I have is the box was smushed (but the seat was fine) and I doubt it was Walmart's fault for that :D... Best of all it has an expiration date of 2024, which means my new baby will be good for a seat for many years to come :D

Car seat is really pretty, but lacking where it really matters. The material seems cheap and itchy. I was shocked at how little padding it had. It feels like it would be very uncomfortable. I paid less for my sons seat and the materials and padding seem so much better. The cup holder is awful. Ours doesn't stay on very long, but even when it's there it's hard for her to reach. I have four children 10, 9, 2, & 1- we have always used Safety First car seats and loved them, but I was very disappointed with this one. :(

We ordered this car seat site to store, at a town we would be flying into. I researched forever, including taking a tape measure to our baby's existing infant seat, to make sure we got a good seat that would fit in our car at home and not just the rental. When we picked up the seat the box was beat to death, so we decided not to keep it. If we had, I think we would have returned it before going home. The seat belt loops on the top were scratched, and I realized later that we didn't get the cup holder. It probably fell out of the box. That's all situational, but there's much more. Installing this thing rear facing is quite difficult. You have to move the cover, re-route the latch belt, and then try to get the cover back onto the loops that are tucked up under the front in a space barely big enough for 2 fingers. The seat has to be fully reclined when installing rear facing. The length of the seat when fully reclined is at least 27-28". It's probably longer then the 22" stated on the website even if it's not reclined. The base isn't very friendly for being installed rear facing, and we had to tuck something under it to level it, which made it protrude into the front seats even more. The width stated is pretty close, but it's without the cup holder. It barely fit in our rental car, and when we returned home we discovered there is no chance of it fitting in our regular car (a Toyota RAV4), unless one of the front seats is pushed all the way forward. It will probably install more gracefully front facing, but we're still a long ways from that. Also: we did like the feature of being able to adjust the height of the harness without rerouting the belt, but the mechanism for that makes the seat bulk out right at baby's head. He seemed uncomfortable in it, and if the seat isn't reclined I'm sure their little heads will roll right forward. And even though it's perhaps the least important aspect of this review, I find the seat rather unsightly. They made it look better on the site somehow. I'm having major buyer's remorse on this one, and may still try and return it without the box.

The seat works really well. The straps are super easy to adjust no more pulling them out to put it up to the next level. And to the complaints that the seat doesn't recline enough it says in the manual to tuck a towel or two under the front to make it recline more. This is my third child and my third car seat and it is by far one of my favs.

My 18 month old loves this seat!! She was in a seat twice as expensive & this one seems to be a perfect fit & fits my budget too! Would've given another star if the cup holder was better quality.
