We are foster parents who have used many seats, mostly Graco, over the last 20 years. I have to agree with the anonymous reviewer from about a month ago that the hold down strap for the base is virtually impossible to remove from the car. The seat itself worked well for the little preemie we brought home with us, and it was easy to insert and remove from the base. However, after the child was out of our care, I tried to remove the base and thought I was also going to have to cut it out of the vehicle, much like the anonymous Dad. Much to my surprise, I was able to press the seat far enough down to unlatch the hook from the restraint system in the car and pull it out. I have to say that the gray button that is supposed to release the securing strap on the base to allow movement was pretty useless.
