As a first time parents my husband and I knew nothing about infant carriers. After months of research (from day one of finding out we were expecting) we both agreed this was the best choice. The safety features of this infant carrier, to us, out weight the "inconveniences" of other's complaints. The base installation into our Chevy Equinox and F250 were very easy and with thte base/carrier together they fit just fine. (My husband is 6'2 and does not have to adjust the passenger seat in my chevy). As far as the complaints about shopping carts and dinning high-chairs, you should never have an infant carrier on the front of a shopping cart (even if it says they are specially made for it, they aren't) and restaurants will accomodate space for your carrier/stroller combination so there is no need to "create a contraption" to hold the carrier as you eat. So the fact that while in the carrier, on the road, your child is as safe as can be is the only thing that should matter.

5 stars for safety!, March 5, 2012

I bought this carseat for my infant because it is top of the line when it comes to safety. As far as safety, this carseat gets 5 stars from me. First off, the carseat has an anti-rebound bar which prevents the carrier from rebounding into the seat of the car after the initial impact of the crash. The videos on the Britax website show in detail how the anti-rebound bar works. Secondly, the carseat has side impact protection unlike any other infant seat on the market. Basically, there is extra support around the head area. Not only is this great in a crash, but it's perfect for little babies who don't have neck control & end up with their head slumping in their carseat. This extra support helps my little girl keep her head upright and comfortable. My husband and I considered Britax B-Safe Infant Car Seat, Red but decided on the Chaperone...Read more

Love this carseat!, March 26, 2012

We Love this carseat. It's super safe and we think it's fairly easy to use. It does take up quite a lot of room in the car, but in our eyes worth it for safety. It does fit in our smallest car, an Escape, with ease. (center) We have Sunshine Kids carseat beside it for our 3 year old.

Note: Previous reviewers want a carseat that can latch on to a shopping cart. NEVER EVER EVER should a carseat be placed on top of a shopping EVER. The latch is not designed for this and you can actually damage the parts. In addition it is not safe. At all. EVER. The cart is then top heavy and at risk to flip over. We have great success wearing in our baby - in an ergo or wrap while shopping.
