The First Years True Fit Convertible Car Seat, Casino

The First Years True Fit Convertible carseat is the BEST Carseat I have ever seen! If I had seen it when my 3 1/2 year old was growing out of her infant carrier seat, I would have refused my FREE Britax Roundabouts and paid for two True Fits to replace them. I'm so amazed that the seat can go from a tiny infant to a 65 lb. & 50 inch tall child!

I did prefer the infant carseats that detach from a base and have a comfortable carrying handle until my child was too heavy to carry. It's nice to have a safe clean portable "bed" for the very tiny ones, but after that, the True Fit is the safest and best option!

The seat has all the latest safety features plus a plush comfortable cover and padding. I love that the seat has side impact protection and that the company tests their products. My child is tall and very close to 40 inches & 40 lbs. and she loves the seat. We also tried a friends 8 year old in the seat and she works well too! Love the easy...Read more

First let me say that this is a great seat. It's padded, comes with several inserts to support different size babies. The optional headrest is nice. I have now installed two of these seats, one into a new Volkswagen Jetta, and one into the previous model Jetta (which has a slightly smaller backseat). There are a few inconveniences, but once you figure it out, the seat does exactly what it's supposed to.

The biggest problem, and this took me over an hour to figure out, is that the seat comes ready for a forward facing installation. I installed both of my seats rear-facing, and I was going NUTS figuring out how to get the latch belt/system to look like it did in the pictures. If only they would have mentioned in the directions that of the box, the latch belt comes set in the forward facing position, it would have saved me a lot of time. You actually have to reposition the belt to make it look like the poorly worded pictures. Once I figured that out, installing seat two took...Read more

The First Years/Learning Curve Truefit is truly an awesome seat! The harness height goes from 10"-18" (with 4 total slots) and adjusts easily without removing the seat. It rear faces from 5-35lbs, and forward faces to 65lbs. It has lockoffs, so it installs easily with a seatbelt or the lower anchors-the locks offs are easy to use.
The seat has a removeable headrest for infants who are less than 22 lbs (and whose head is 1" from the top of the shell). This makes the seat easier to fit rear-facing. Once the child reaches 22+lbs, the headrest needs to be put on (and the child should be kept rear-facing until s/he reaches 35lbs or is within 1" of the top of the shell). Rear-facing is 4x safer than forward facing. My 2 year old son is still rear-facing and will be until he is either too heavy or too tall.
It's a comfortable seat with lots of EPP foam and padding. The Misty Morning pattern is very soft and cozy. My daughter, at 44", 42lbs, and a 16" torso,...Read more
