Wish I had done more research

I went with this seat because I see a lot of them around. Unfortunately I was not happy with it and don’t feel it was worth the $300+ price tag. The hood is all wonky and always falls back when it’s not up, when it is up it doesn’t pull right and smooth, it always has a dip. The straps aren’t smooth at all, and the velcro covers for the straps keep catching on them and pulling the material. Thankfully I haven’t had to experience whether or not it’s effective, but for day to day use it’s not the easiest.

Excellent car seat. Have used this product for several months now and it works great, it is very comfortable, and looks beautiful. It is lightweight and super padded compared to the majority of other infant car seats.
