“no complaints! great seat!”

My husband and I searched all over for the perfect carseat for our daughter before buying this particular seat! She isn't here yet, but I already know this carseat is going to do the job and then some.. not only is it side impact tested, but it meets and/or exceed safety standards. It's also very soft... read full review »

“Try this before buying!”

I thought this carseat looked soooo cute and the price was great, so I went to look at it at my local Sears store. I almost bought it-everything was perfect. But then, I decided to try the buckle on the seatbelt----- Oh my gosh! It was so hard and actually painful to do it. I tried it several times over,... read full review »

“Best Car Seat!”

I've been using this car seat now for 14months- (my daughter still fits in it). It is easy to adjust the belts. The base does have three different recline settings, and it also can be buckled into a car w/ out the base. It's easy and light to carry. The canopy is large and covers half of the seat. It's the best looking, most comfortable car seat I've seen and used. It has lasted so well, and still looks brand new. It's a great value. I've had other mom's envy the seat - wondering why they spent over 100 dollars on something not nearly as nice.

“Beautiful In expensive Infant Car Seat”

I love these infant car seats.  We are the proud parents of baby girl twins.  In this economy, we do NOT have $100-$150 to spend per infant car seat. For the price of these, Its like we got 2 for 1.  In our situation, every dollar saved is great for us.For amount of time they are going to spend in these car seats, I think its just a waste of money to spend more than $100 especially when buying 2 of everything.  I especially liked the design of these and the plush inserts unlike the Graco patterns.  They really need to do a bit better with patterns that are gender specific to girls.

“Pretty good car seat”

The car seat is affordable and pretty for a baby girl. Only "drawback" is that there is no recline feature, but my husband and I have found a way to make it work. We roll up a bath towel and place it at the foot end under the seat and it sits back fine!! For the price and the short time your baby will really be using it, you can't complain. Wait and buy that expensive, does everything car seat for the next one because the usage time is so much longer. All around good seat!!

“Gorgeous car seat”

I just received this car seat and so far I a very happy......My husband and I are expecting our little girl in about 5 weeks and wanted something pretty yet safe....I am glad we went with this car seat, best looking one I have seen and I have looked at tons and tons of carseats......The material is very soft and seems to be comfy.....I like the fact the umbrella is quite large and covers half the seat......The buckle doesn't seem that hard, have tried it out a couple of times...Buy the seat for your little princess, you will love it....

“comfortable for baby, annoying buckle!”

My newborn loves this, she sleeps in it for hours after we get home. The only downside is the buckle! Its super hard, and half the time i cant unbuckle her, i have to ask for help. My baby cries because it takes us a while to buckle and unbuckle it, so she gets annoyed. I wish it had a different kind of buckle, this one you have to put together like a puzzle then snap it in, and it takes alot of strength. After everything is buckled, she seems to be very comfortable in it, so i guess thats all that matters. Its a very pretty seat also.

“Gorgeous carseat, horrible buckle!!”

I admit, when I went shopping for a car seat for my baby girl, I had no idea what I was doing. I've never dealt with babies much, all I knew was that I wanted something pretty. I wanted something that I could feel proud to take her around in, but I didn't want to pay over a hundred dollars for it. So when I found this one I was ecstatic, cause not only was it the absolute prettiest one I'd seen, but it was also only $70! We bought it, and didn't know we'd hate it so much until my daughter was born. I felt like I was wrestling with my five pound newborn just to get that stupid buckle done! It is... read full review »

“Great for a little princess”

i received this item at my shower and it was great for the time i used it. Its soft material that was used and the only issue i had with it was the buckle was a little hard to "lock in" other than that i would recommend it. Its super easy to clean and when you put the seat cover in the washer it comes out without a stain (well at least mine did) and im using dreft. Overall rating for this item is its great.

“Beautiful but not practical!”

We had to rush and get this car seat while my premature daughter was in the hospital so that we could bring her home. The great feature was the adjustable strapes. This car seat has the most adjustable strapes on the market. There are 4 adjustments for shoulders and 2 for in between the legs. Now the reason you should not get this car seat-- the buckle is the hardest jig saw puzzle you will ever encounter. They absolutely did not make this easy or user friendly. Its hard enough to juggle diaper bag, screaming baby and carseat then to have to spend 15 minutes trying to get baby buckled in-- its... read full review »

“Love this car seat!”

I searched for countless hours online for a quality "girly" infant car seat and finally found this one!  I received it the same day I ordered since they had it in stock at my local Sears.  It is so pretty and since I am expecting a winter baby I love the soft fuzzy padding on the inside of the seat.  The pink is beautiful with just a touch of brown and cream.  As for the quality I was comparing it to the Evenflo Hula Hoop pattern infant seat and the Graco Snugride.  The Evenflo seat is $5.00 cheaper but I would only give it 2 out of 5 stars.  The fabric is is not soft and it hardly has any...

“Didnt work for me”

The base didn't have a recline feature....so it doesn't fit in our captains chairs. I also didn't like the puzzle buckle. It is pretty, but not functional for my car and for me. It's kinda heavy too. Make sure return policy is good (just in case).

“infant car seat worth the money”

I bought these carseat for my little girl after looking everywhere and not finding anything I like. Its a good price and great quality. I don't really care for the latches between the legs. Its a struggle when your newborn's legs are all curled up. Id practice buckeling and latching it. It can be very frustrated until you get the hang of it but I love the soft fabric. Id recommened it to anyone. Just wish it had a better latch between the legs.

“Beautiful and LUX”

I had my first child in Sep of 08, and am currently 40.5 weeks pregnant with my new bb girl. I bought a double stroller, and like most, it didn't come with car seats. I figured i'd dye my sons beige/blue car seat pink, and buy him a new front facing seat. With all of the negative feed back i've been getting about putting a 13 mo. old in a front facing seat, i changed my mind and my mother offered to buy my daughter a brand new seat. This is the prettiest seat i have ever seen! And that's what i thought when i saw it online! In person it is sooo lux. With nice detailing, materials, and thick padding....

“OMG BEAUTIFUL!”

I LOVE this carseat! I haven't had a chance to use it for my baby yet, because she's not due until August. But this carseat is perfect for a Princess. Its sooo soft and cushiony. I almost wish I could fit in a carseat and it would definitely be this one. the only thing i am having a problem with, is finding another base to match the carseat. All i have found were black ones, and I believe that clashes.
