I was given this car seat at my baby shower from my Grandma. I love it!!!! It is easy to clip into base, and easy to detach. I have used it with a Graco stroller, and a snap n go, both work wonderfully. My son is almost 15 pounds, so I can see where some people say it is heavy. But truthfully, when my son came home at 8 pounds, the seat was light, its him that's getting heavy, not the seat. I love the color scheme, will work for a boy or girl. I like the triangle handle, I carry the seat in my elbow mostly, and find the triangle to disperse weight more evenly. I have a little difficulty getting my son into the seat, but that is because he would rather be held, and I have the same problem with my parents car seat. I do not blame the seat for that. I feel that this seat has a very sophisticated look for only $100.00. I looked at other car seats, even bought one and returned it to allow my grandma to buy this one. I believe it gives the expensive look without the price tag of a Peg.

You'll be sorry if you buy this car seat. The buckle is very user unfriendly. I was fooled by the attractive appearance and price of this seat but I am sorry everyday when I have to buckle my baby in. We are going to buy a new car seat because the buckle is so horrible. We hope this review saves other people the same inconvenience and waste of money we have experienced.

This seat was great, I loved the design, I even bought the 3 wheeled jogging stroller that it attached to. The handle design is awesome and makes this seat so easy to carry, I have never noticed that this seat was any heavier than others, either. However I did notice that on mine, the handle was a little tricky, nothing to serious but the buttons were stiff and the handle had to be just right or the buttons wouldnt go. I still loved this seat I thought it was the best. I ran into a guy at the grocery store with the same exact carseat and I asked about their handle, and he showed my husband and I how his worked, it worked perfectly with out any complications. So like with any product you buy, there are a few with problems.
The one thing that bothered me is that I know my husband was a bit ruff at times with this seat, but after only a few months about 6, the red handle that allows you to release the carseat from the base is now somehow not on the track! Half of it is on, but the left side is not on its track, it is off, and there is no way to get it back on. I asked my husband had he been ruff with it, and broken it, he said that he hadnt. So I dont know if this was faulty, or if my hubby broke it. I know that my hubby did throw a few fits over unlatching the seat, and the handle, but that is only because of how highly I praised it.
Any how, I am pretty sure that if my husband would have given this seat more respect, it would have lasted longer. On the other hand he didnt beat on it, or take tooks to it, so it really should have held up better. I really loved this latch release too, how its in the front instead of the back.
I am having another baby this year, I plan on getting another baby trends carseat, the same model. This time I will open the box before buying and I will test the handle and the base release latch.
I recommend this chair, but treat it with respect, and test it out before you buy it. If you get a faulty one, return it for a good one.

Just purchased one of these Baby Trend Phantoms to use as a second car seat in our other car.Got it at Target for $100. I chose this model because it was narrow enough to allow the front seats in my car to slide all the way back, I'm 6'3, and the colors matched the interior of the car perfectly. We use the seat in compact sedan, 2007 Mercedes C230. As far the seat being too heavy, I have to disagree. Its definatly lighter than our other Graco carseat, and either way I don't think either one weighs over 5 pounds. If you have any kind of upper body strength this shouldn't be an issue. I carried my son(21 lbs)around the mall today for an hour and half, and I'm no muscle head by any means. I would definatley reccomend this car seat to anyone, especially if the overall width is a concern, and if you have a small car it will be. I was impressed with the base tie down straps too. They look like industrial grade ratchet tie downs, and there is one for each side,allowing you to tighten each side individually; my Graco unit only has one strap with cheap hooks on both ends. As far as the childs' safety harness goes, I don't have any problems getting my son in or out, but this does require half a brain to do efficiantly.(Just Kidding) My Graco seat has the same setup so I was already used to that, in fact all the infant seats I looked at use the same style buckle. And if your kid is screaming and crying every time you put them in a car seat then you're probably doing something wrong anyway. I'll shoot and post a video of baby installation and removal when I get a chance. Hope this review helps Thanks.

We bought this for our son and he used it until he went over the weight limit. It worked great for us. We paid $80 at Target. I saw alot of bad reviews and do not know why. Maybe we never had a problem because we did not have the crying baby. I loved the handle and yes it is heavy, but teh same heavy as any other. Recommended buy.
We are now using it for baby #2. So it is built to last even through spills, poop, etc.
