I loved the idea of a carseat that would last from birth to childhood AND keep them rearfacing longer AND it was inexpensive. However, this isn't very easy to install, not very easy to adjust, and I find it hard to tighten my baby in it. My son is now 5 months old and it still doesn't feel tight on him when I tighten it as much as I can. In our excitement to be parents, we bought this way ahead of time, so we couldn't return it. So, its in my husband's truck now since he doesn't drive baby around much. We got a Britax for my car and have absolutely no complaints. Well worth the higher price tag.

We bought this carseat for our 2yo daughter who was close to outgrowing the weight limit on her Alpha Omega Elite's 5pt harness rating. We want to keep her in the harness for as long as possible. We have a Subaru WRX, and the backseat space is limited. Even with as small as our backseat is, there is still plenty of room for another carseat. The seat fits in either the middle or the sides great. It looks much more bulky than it is in your car. She loves the big sides for the side impact, they're perfect for when she falls asleep. Her head doesn't fall forward at all. The cupholders are an added bonus.

i like the design and the apparent comfort for the baby. as mentioned, the longer the child can face rearward, the safer the seat. however, for my volkswagen golf, while it fits ok, the passenger in the front seat (in front of the placement of the car seat) can be a bit squished. one can get a little more room by mounting the car seat in the middle in the back, but then the seat needs to be mounted via seatbelt instead of LATCH. i've bought two of these seats now, so needless to say i'm satisfied.

I purchased this seat for my grandson and installed it in our Honda Element. It is easy to install as there are just three latch points and this system seems to work very well. However, my wife and my son both think there is still more than one inch of movement when the seat is as tight as you can get it by tighteneing the straps. And I saw a similar comment in another review here at Amazon. I would just like to get an objective opinion on whether or not this car seat is safe. I assume that it is, but I do realize that even engineers, safety boards, and the whole apparatus of government are sometimes wrong, and the one concerned parent is right. At $150.00, this is not a cheap seat. My wife's solution has been to use the lap belt to snug down the seat. Since the lap belt system was an ad hoc system that worked okay, but I assume was not perfect (or why create the LATCH system?)then I question why we need yet another redundant system in our lives, for I already have a house full of them. Short answer, buy another seat, even though this is to my eyes a beauty.

This is a beautiful car seat compared to other car seats in it's price category and higher price categories. It has a higher rear facing limit then the marathon. It is very well padded and has much more padding and room than my Graco infant safeseat that went to 30 lbs did. My son hated that thing, it was so narrow, i felt like i was squishing him to get him in, he is much happier in his big boy seat!
It does have more of a recline than other convertible car seats but I like it.
I got a very good install in all of the cars I have put it in, Hyundai accent, ford focus, nissan pathfinder. I did have trouble tightening the straps all of the way to make them snug on my sons shoulders when It was installed rear facing, I will be calling Graco about it very soon and will post an update.
As for being wider than other car seats well it is only about 1 inch wider than the Marathon, I just wanted to clarify that because people keep saying how wide it is. It not as wide as everyone is making it out to be. The base is very thin at only about 14inches so I think it will fit in an airplane very well. Which I will be trying out shortly on my trip back to Australia, I will keep you posted.
The Bartlett cover is very luxurious. I think they have changed the elastic around the cupholders to be better now because I had read some complaints on it falling off, well this is definitely not a problem for me. I purchased mine 10/25/09-car seat manufactured in September 09 and it seems to be well attached on my seat.
Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. It seems very safe and very comfy for my son. Both of which are very important to me.
