It is one of the more expensive car seats out here. I purchased mine for around 250 dollars taken sometime we found on sale for around 200. To me there are a lot of features that make this one of the safest car seats I feel that are around in the market right now. It's got a great design it's a very heavy car seat it's not one that I would suggest having for moving back and forth between vehicles mine stays in my car and we purchase an additional one for in my husband's vehicle so we're not moving it back and forth. It's got very nice feel to it they come in dozens of different covers to choose from different designs colors fabrics if you are warmer climate ____cool climates. I pick this one ___ check there because it matches into my car for example. To me some of the features that make it a little bit safer is that it makes it easier for you if you use it correctly and when the car seat is used correctly it's simply safer. One of the nicest features I feel is it has straps that don't twist or bind or become as worn as easily over periods of use. I have been using this car seat for my son for about 2 years now and the straps are as straight and easy to use as they were at the day that I purchased it. It has the chest buckle here and it has a pad and straps that make it a little bit comfortable for the children. And then it has very easy to use buckle but not quite easy enough for the kids to use and it puts in the place when each one is inserted. And then it has a nice adjustable feature right up front to adjust the straps to adjust it out you just flip it up and pull the straps and then it locks them in place then it makes it easier to get your child in and out without fighting with the straps you can loosen them up and once the child is in very simply just pull on it and tight them back up. The other feature that I really looked up when we purchased this car seat was the comfort feature for son. He was very fuzzy child and we couldn't figure out why he was always so crabby _____ well we actually looked and feel paddy that we have in the car seat at that time it was absolutely uncomfortable. I can see where his legs were numb for hanging over the side too long and it was just plain uncomfortable. This car seat it has an amazing amount of padding in it both on the bottom and on the sides because my son like many children can suppose sleep in the car and he always looks very comfortable and his much happier riding in this car seat. Other than the ease of use and the comfort of it another wonderful feature of this car seat that is almost not existing in other car seats is you can use this as a 5 point harness for ____ system up to 65 pounds most car seats only go to 40 pounds for the harness use before they must be as a booster seat. This is especially important as simple fact that children are safer when they are in the 5 point harness and if you have a larger child that can be difficult they may reach that 40 pound weight limit before they are ready to seat in a regular booster seat safety. This car seat can be use rear facing and forward facing and in the book we ___ it here it says it's use between 5 and 65 pounds. The rear facing position is for children whose weight is 5 to 33 pounds and forward facing up to 65 pounds. And to me that is simply amazing and it was worth every penny to me to purchase this car seat to know that I would be able to keep my son in this as long as possible before moving him to a booster seat. And as I said the ease of use was a great bonus I was pleasantly surprise it can be secured in your car either by their traditional car seat belt and this also do have the latch features on it you can see the for ____ and here's for the top very easy install that way it makes it much easier to get tight fit in the vehicle and that is equally important and keeping your child safe is knowing that the car seat is installed properly in your car. And I most definitely recommend to everyone to purchase the car seat to make sure you read the users guide there's a lot help for information.........
