TJ: Great car seat. A little pricey, but worth it. I especially love how easy it is to get in and out of the car. The base sits in the seat and you easily wrap the seatbelt around it. You get in and out of the car and there’s a simple lever on the back of the car seat - the place you’re already grabbing - and you lift it and it unlatches. Just as easy seating the baby back in the car. Great design, couldn’t be happier.

Brandon Conley: We recently had our first child, and like any good late 20's couple, we used the internet to thoroughly research baby items before purchasing. Also like many in our age group, Amazon is a big supplier for our entire house. We decided on purchasing this Graco car seat/carrier for our little one, and thus far have all been very impressed (baby included). She actually falls asleep every time she's put into it, and normally stays asleep once we get where we're going. Overall it seems very comfortable based on that.

Other than baby's reaction, it's been good for us. Base is easy to install using either method (belt or seat bar method). The carrier itself is very sturdy but lightweight. We do not have experience with a lot of other car seats, but as far as removing the seat from the base and other things, it's really very simple, so I don't understand the other reviewers having issues with it.

I will say that we also have an additional insert we were given for head support around baby's head, so we used it in conjunction with the head support already provided by the carrier while she was really young. It was a baby shower gift, but can't believe it's very expensive to get....

Ashley S: *I haven't used it yet since I'm due March 3 2020. This is just out-of-box observations*
It's definitely lightweight, even with the base attached (with my oldests' infant seat the base was heavy and that car seat was great). The base has anchors which might be tougher than others to install. The cost is nice and on the lower end so the materials used reflects that. It doesn't look like it would be very cozy for a newborn because the seat material is made from something similar to a tent (makes for easy cleaning); the padding that is there isn't very thick or comfortable looking. The canopy moves easy enough but makes a loud clicking sound which I worry would wake up a light-sleeping baby. The handle also moves well and locks in place nicely.
I'll update once I've installed it and used it for a while.

Tiffany: Love love love!!! Had these for my twins and now I just got another one for my new baby. Very safe and sturdy. Looks amazing. ♡

JandR: I bought this carseat to fit my graco stroller. The material itself isnt very comfortable but maybe it just needs to be used a little bit. I thought the price was a little high but its the only one that would fit my stroller.
