Summary: Saved my daughters life 2008-06-01
Comment: We got in an accident where we should have all died...and low and behold my daughter had not a scratch.
of course you can only use the seat once but, it saved her life so I am okay with that.

Summary: Really wanted to like this. 2008-03-03
Comment: We bought this as our second car seat a few months ago. I liked the easy height adjustment, and my big son fits pretty well. The padding is good, and seems pretty safe. The harness is good, although the straps want to twist more easily than our Britax Roundabout. The lack of velcro holders to keep the straps apart for easy entry is missed (The Britax has these)
The real problem is the rear-facing latch mounting. This seat is insanely difficult to install with any sort of tightness or security. There are a number of factors:
1) The shape of the seat bottom doesn't mate well with either of our cars (When rear-facing. Haven't tried forward facing yet.) If it matters: Honda Accord and Honda Element. All back seat positions have been tried, and with various bolsters.
2) The latch strap adjuster doesn't hold well. It always 'seeps' a small amount of strap after you tighten it, before it 'catches'.
3) The latch strap is only adjustable on one side, and it doesn't cinch up from hook to hook just by pulling on it. Therefore you have to pull the strap through the seat, HARD, in order to get all the slack on the adjustable side, then pull HARD on the adjuster strap at *just* the right angle, all while leaning with your entire body weight to compress the seat into the car (see #1), then pray the adjuster holds fast (see #2). Then check your work, find the seat is still inexplicably loose and floppy (see #1 and #2 again) and repeat the process. Maddening.
Contrast this to the Britax, which goes in, nice and tight, without a fuss, cussword, or single bead of sweat, every time, even by my wife, who is gratefully much smaller than I am.
It's also worth mentioning that the latch hooks on this car seat are the common metal hook found in all cheap seats. Once you've used the britax jobbies that click on like a seat belt and click off just as easily, you won't ever want to go back.
In summary, this is a good carseat that's really hard to use, at least in a rear-facing orientation. Again, haven't tried forward-facing yet. It's not at all cheap, so if I were to do it again I'd spend just a little more and get another Britax Roundabout.
