Super cute, easy to install as well!Normally I love this brand, but this car seat has a thick seam in the middle where the baby’s back is and she gets a bruise in the same spot every time she is in the seat for any length of time. I’m really frustrated because I’ve had other infant car seats from this brand and this has never happened until now, and this car seat is a little more pricey then other brands.This car seat is adorable. But it’s a bit bulky bcuz it doesn’t seem to fit in the shopping cart at the store. Also it doesn’t seem to fit any stroller combo but other than that it’s great.I have a 2016 Corolla and getting the base clicked into the car seat anchors is terrible. The instructions indicate that pushing the red button on top allows the click in straps to lengthen to allow it to be crammed between the seat cushions to lock onto the anchor. Yeah, there is about an inch of give in the length. It takes two of us twenty minutes of blood sweat and tears to push the seat down hard enough to manage it.Part of the problem is that you can't see what your doing so you just have to try and position the mouth of the clip in that "sweet spot" so it engages. What makes this more difficult is the poor design of the click tight handle. You need to be shoving it down and back but it's shaped like a small rectangular piece so there's no way to grab it and get any leverage. If you put your hand on the red latch on the end of it to better push, you are then opening that latch.I'm sure some cars are a better fit than others and ours has a middle fold-up center arm rest which makes it even harder to adjust the angle once it's in place. Our grandson is 6 months old so we bought our own base. Once we got the damn thing in my husband declared "We aren't taking it out again until he's in high school".Problem is, when we need to fold either of the back seat sections down to accommodate something we're transporting in the trunk, we will have to release the base and reinstall it afterward! Arrghh!No other complaints but I would not buy another Britax model like this again.Baby is snug and the seat is great! Always used this company and have never been let down. Love it!Very convenient and easy to use. Happy with this purchase because it is so reliable, quick to get in and out of the car and can be readily transferred to another car without difficulty! Both the dock and the car seat can easily be taken in and out within 30 seconds!Needed a second base for husbands vehicle. Ours from buy buy baby was on back order and then after 3 months was canceled indefinitely without any notice. Found here and received in 3 days. Very happy due to it was urgent to receive by this point.It’s a safe and nice car seat but nothing extravagant, pretty basic…It’s light and easy to clean.I wish it had more padding and was stouter.
