I purchased this car seat a couple of weeks before birth. My son was born premature which was completely unexpected but I had zero issues with putting him in the car seat safely. I would definitely recommend this car seat to first time parents. Pros: Extremely easy to install into car! Very sturdy and parts seem to be strong and not flimsy Cons: none so far :) Flo · walmart.com

Positives:Super lightweight. I love how easy it is to move the handle! That was one of my biggest gripes with our old seat fabric looks almost stain resistant. Easy to remove and wash cover, crazy easy to reinstall. Way way easy to set up definitely an open and go product. EVERYthing is very self explanatory with this seat. I will likely continue to use it. Will be especially useful when baby gets Megan · evenflo.com
