I own a Grand Caravan and the only issue was the recline forward facing and rear-facing. Rear-facing we had to use a rubber yoga mat to prop up the front of the seat because the van seats are "bucket-like" and re-facing caused the Safety 1st seat to lean to far forward. Plus we had to rig the long back strap to hook to the underside of the seat- not too much fun. *Forward facing worked a bit better since we have seats in the van that recline we were able to get the Safety 1st car seat to adjust better because even with the Safety 1st car seat in full recline it sat straight up. We used the recline position on the van seats to make a perfect fit. I think the adjustable mechanism is wonderful and so easy to adjust to our kids growth. I like the quick release harness and the re-moveable head pad. The color selection is great and the quality of the material is awesome! I feel we have made a good choice in this particular seat. We've had the seat for well over a year and it is holding up very well. Over-all the hassles didn't outweigh the quality of the car seat. I figure with the type of seats we have in the van we'd have to make adjustments regardless of the brand and make of any car seat.

Great carseat! Purchased one for my Grandson as an infant and just purchased a second for when he comes to visit. He is now a toddler and it still works well. Can also see where it easily transitions into a booster seat as he grows. My grandson will be a "big" guy since his father was 6.5' tall and this car seat should be the only one needed since it goes up to 100 lbs. Cup holder is easy for the 14 month old to use.

I purchased this same kind of seat for my daughter two years ago. It is a nice seat but sometimes it's hard to tighten the harness. The ones I ordered for my son this time are very easy to operate and have a different kind of latch. EXCELLENT improvements!!!

Moved up from an Evenflo forward facing car seat that didn't recline and wasn't the most comfortable for Long trips however this one is. Great buy !

The car seat is great, my only problem was that the ajustable head-rest seem to be uncomfortable for my baby who would cry when she is strapped in the seat..Besides that she loves her beautifully pwded car seat. I need to figure out how to make her more comfortable and then i will be a happy mother. Great car seat, my sitter bought the same one first my nephew and he Love it.

I would definately recommend this seat! I had no issues with installation or set up.

This carseat is a good investment overall and sturdy.

This is the perfect car seat if you child is front facing. If you put them to the rear and they are over one, it's going to be a tight fit. Forward facing it is perfect. Good construction, quality material. Cup hold is a little unsturdy but i really don't use that one anyways. Great car seat for the money. This is our second one!

Love it. My son also really enjoys it! He always cried in the car in his infant carrier but now in this one he just falls asleep, it's great! Also I love how the arm rests go up and down, it makes getting him in and out so easy!

I love this carseat! We are so excited that it will last my daughter until she is ready to move out of a booster and into a regular seat. She loves being out of the infant carrier. The carseat is as much of a headache to install as any carseat is using the latch system. I don't know of a seat that isn't a pain to install. The carseat has instructions are easy to follow. Overall, I'm very pleased with this seat!

i absoultely love this carseat and have told all of my friends to get one!

We bought two of these seats (one for each car) in March 2010 and have been using them daily ever since then. We have only used them forward facing. The seats have held up well and the material doesn't show any signs of the wear and tear that my very active 2.5 year old puts on the seat. We liked that it came with a cup holder although the cup holder doesn't really securely attach and has long since been tossed aside by us. My son also enjoys having arm rests. The only thing that I don't love about the seat is that it can be a bit quirky to install. It probably took us about 20 minutes to get it right the first time. We have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and installing the seat in the middle of the backseat was a bit of a challenge. We also have a Chevy Traverse and I found that it actually installed more easily in the bucket seat.

WORKS GREAT, MY SON LIKES THE ARMRESTS
