Not Comfortable for mom or baby
August 16, 2018
I am so disappointed with this car seat! I purchased it for the ease of use of the buckle system and the stiff shoulder straps so I wouldn't have to mess with losing the straps. So I'm just gonna lay it out there:
1. Installation: its actually extremely easy, after you spend over an hour trying to figure it out with the instructions (completely unclear)... There is no youtube videos from the company either on how to properly do it. Anyways, I figured it out and I hope its correct because there is not video to confirm. The instruction manual is all over the place too...
2. The magnetic chest strap was made to make a one handed unclipping easier but depending on how you press-slide it up, it will either unclip easy or not budge. At times it opens easily and at other times it won't open (I spent 5 minutes trying to figure it out one time and it still didn't open for me). Fro women with long nails, DO NOT BUY! Y will be very disappointed. I wish I got the regular chest strap because this is not working for me.
3. Stiff shoulder straps were made so you wouldn't have to mess with finding the straps. But guess what... the clips that are attached to the harness which clip into the 5 point drop down and you still have to fish for them (this is more annoying than fishing for the straps). They could have included slots where you could stick the clips. I find this car seat so annoying!
4. Baby and mom comfort: The leg straps get soooo tight and the horizontal chest straps are still so loose , my DD cries when we tighten her down in this seat and no matter how tight we get the straps, the chest straps are loose and the leg straps are ridiculously tight (like cutting off her circulation). The straps are also extremely hard to tighten down for mom.
Overall, I do not recommend this stroller due to lack of ease-of-use and I don't have peace-of-mind when putting my child in the seat because I don't feel like she's tight in the seat (like they teach you at the hospital and ALL instruction videos). I am so frustrated with this.
