Good, but a bit complicatedJun 25, 2010
We bought this car seat because we have a small backseat that needed to fit 3 car seats. Not an easy order, but we were able to accomplish this using this car seat, a Radian 80, and a Graco TurboBooster.
I like that this seat seems very secure and has good ratings from CR. I also like that it is very narrow and fits easily into our car.
I dislike that it is a bit difficult to buckle the child into the seat. Unlike seats where the crotch buckles directly into the bottom latch, this seat requires that you first put both sides of the crotch buckles together before putting them into the bottom latch.
Sometimes this is a bit difficult if the baby is arching his back. It takes a bit of practice and I'm not really sure if it's a safer design than the traditional style.
The fabric/material isn't the softest, but it's not terrible either. There is a built in headrest that seems pretty sturdy.

 Handle release impossible at best!!Apr 23, 2010
I thought we would love this car seat, however trying to push in the handle releases is such an aggravation and getting it to release the first time is almost impossible! I contacted Baby Trend and they told me to spray a little cooking spray on it and that it was a safety feature. I called back again after the spray didn't work and was again told it was a safety feature and it's how the seat was designed. I highly doubt any of those customer service reps have ever tried out the seat. Our daughter has severe reflux and there's been several occasions where she has began to choke and getting her quickly out of the seat was imperative. I ended up sticking the car seat in the garage and spending another $140 on a new car seat due to the stupid handle releases.

 Good looking but not safe!Mar 08, 2010
I recently bought this carseat and when I got it I thought it would be perfect. When I tried to install it was when I found the first problem. Putting the seat in the correct height to have it level proves to be near impossible unless you are very strong. Raising and lowering it by the little button the base is very difficult. After I got that figured out and got it installed by a certified person, I thought I was going to be done with it until I had the baby. I didn't pay any attention to it for a couple of days and when I was putting stuff in the backseat I noticed that one of the LATCH clasps was undone. I couldn't figure out why this would have happened but didn't think anything of it and just hooked it back on. By the time I had driven home, less than 10 minutes, it was unclipped again. No one seemed to be able to tell me why this was happening, I'm just glad that my baby isn't here yet! I'm returning this one and I don't think I'll ever look at a Baby Trend again!

 Very Safe Easy to Use SeatFeb 08, 2010
I LOVE this car seat. There are a few deterrents, but my son is just a month shy of 2 years old and he still fits in this seat quite well. When placed at the proper angle in the car and bucked in you will not find any safety issues at all. The base is a challenge to put in, but for ease of use we don't even use the base.
It is a bit heavy to carry around, but it is not recommended for bonding with your child that you leave them in the car seat while out and about but rather purchase a sling or carry your baby.
Unlike other seats this buckle is very hard to buckle and unbuckle meaning when my son at 8 months began trying to get out of his seat he could not, while friends with graco seats their babies were letting themselves out of the seat with ease.
The foam is very strong and the seat overall still looks brand new after 2 years of use, and I plan on using it for my next baby. Unlike carseats made from a woven cotton fabric this is very easy to wipe clean to make sure things are always clean. None of the fabric has worn out or faded.
You will find that this seat is well worth the money you spend on it.

Wouldn't buy againJan 22, 2010
I've been using this seat since my 8 month old was born and can't stand it. He's small so he's still got a few pounds to go until we move him to a bigger seat. I can't wait! The handle gets stuck on the sunshade every time you move it up or down. The handle release is akward and very hard to squeeze. The buckle is also very akward to get buckled especially with a squirmy baby (although I suppose any seat is hard to buckle when they're squirming). You have to fit together two small pieces and get them simultaneously clipped into the buckle. It's not easy. The only pros...I do like the triangular handle, it gives you many carrying options, nice fabric, and the built in level. Also it has gotten good safety reviews. In retrospect, we should've gone with the Graco Snugride. Easier to use, a little cheaper, and got equal or better saftey ratings. If we decide to have another baby, we definitely won't be using this seat.
