I've never used it. I know people who like it as a rear facing seat, but I've also heard that it makes a crap booster. So I wouldn't expect it to be the only car seat that you buy.

It's a huge pain to install makes an okay rf seat, depending on the harness weight it could be a short ff height, and makes a death trap as a booster. There are many better choices for a convertible.

No, it's a terrible seat with a horrible rating in booster mode.

For the money you spend on it, you can get seats that will last longer and fit your child properly.

Had one for my oldest and hated it. Look in to a graco brand seat.

We didn't like the fit on her or in the car always felt is was not in tight enough it moved to much. My youngest has the graco nautilus and we love it and graco has many seats to choose from.

It's CRAP. Never, ever use it as a booster, it's a death trap. They are a PAIN to install rearfacing, and don't last very long if you want to do extended rearfacing. They are outgrown by height forward facing very quickly if it's the 40 lb limit model, the others are an ok forward facing seat. The straps twist easily, and it's huge and bulky.

What she said.

The Graco Size4Me70/MySize70 is an excellent seat. Also the Britax convertibles are awesome, but their harness height is a tad shorter than the S4M/MS.
