Great seat from infant to booster
April 17, 2011
I purchased this seat in 2007 at Toys R Us for about $130. My daughter is still sitting in this seat at 4 years, 32 lbs and 40 inches tall. She likes it because she sits up high and can see outside. I like the one-handed recline feature for road trips. When you remove the pillow at the top, your child's head will fit back into the seat further for road naps. Velvety textured fabric doesn't show stains. The adjustable harness is so easy if yo're using the seat for more than one child - just pull the red handles forward and move up or down as needed. No unthreading and rethreading the seatbelts. When my daughter reaches 40 lbs, we can remove the 5 pt harness and use the regular seatbelt until she's old enough and big enough to sit in the seat. One car seat will likely serve her until she's 80 lbs!
Pros
  • lasts from infant to young child (5 lbs- 100 lbs)
Cons
  • It's BIG and takes up a lot of space.

Love this seat!!
April 16, 2011
My son and I were just involved in a serious rear-end collision. Very frightening for both of us, as I had to crawl over the front seat to get to him. The paramedic and insurance adjuster both asked what brand of seat I had, and where I purchased it, because the seat came through the crash so well, as did my son. I will be replacing the seat involved in the crash with the same model seat, and I will buy it here - just like the first one.

This seat is the greatest

We found this car seat at Sam's Club over Christmas for $89.00 and being new parents and needing a new seat this one works wonderful. Our daughter who is 4.5mnths loves it so much that she looks forward to car rides. It's the best thing that we've invested our money into. It's the greatest......

Love the seat. It looks great and really easy to recline. We are buying a second for our second little boy. My older boy LOVES having a "hold cup" to put his drink in.

Great for the price

Love this model got twin girls and bought this same style but elite the girls are very comfortable. My son is three years old and try the seat and he loved it. He ask for one and i got this model he was very happy to see his new car seat just like his sisters. Great price. I wish i would've pay the same price for the girls but it was much more expensive when i bought it at the store. I recommend this one.

Wonderful Seat
March 10, 2008
We purchased this seat, after searching for the perfect seat for a long time, for our 2 year old daughter who hated being in the car. She loves it and smiles everytime she gets to go "bye bye" now. It was much cheaper here than anywhere else also, and we received in in 4 days.

Great for the price

For the price, this is an unbeatable deal. We have a Britax Marathon that is absolutely wonderful but our kids are only 17 months apart and hated to spend that much on another one then have to buy two more boosters in the future. I did some research and came across the Cosco 3 in 1 and thought it was a great idea. You can purchase the Eddie Bauer one for a lot more money but it's the same seat, just a different brand. We did not use this as an infant seat. I prefer being able to pick them up in a their car seat and allow them to sleep while shopping and so one. So far we've only used is as a convertable car seat facing front. My husband found it more difficult to put into the car than the Britax. Also, the hardware just isn't as high quality either. The straps seem to constantly twist but it's easy to fix. My 25 month old has no problem falling asleep in it and seems to be pretty comfortable. I'm glad we moved her into the Cosco and our infant into the Britax. The material is also pretty nice. My daughter has spilled drinks and food on it and you can't tell as much as the Britax. We've heard good reviews on this carseat when it's a booster seat so we hope that it will treat us well when we get there. Overall, it's a great carseat for the money. However, lots of parts are just not the same quality you'll see in Britax of other high end car seats.

Excellent Choice
January 31, 2008
This is an excellent car seat that has served us well. (Including two minor accidents that my son never even noticed.) I purchased it when he was 8-months-old. He was too long for his infant carrier and 25 lbs, and needed a rear -facing that could hold a LARGE child. It converts like a dream and at 3-years-old, 40 inches tall, and 41 lbs, it still works beautifully for him. It is very comfortable, with resilient velvety-like fabric. The only complaint I have is that when the fabric needs cleaning it takes an hour to disassemble -with instructions and a flat-end screwdriver, and another 30 minutes to put back together after washing. But it is machine washable. This is not a big enough problem to reduce my 5 star rating. (Having my child safe and comfortable are my first priorities.) To help with the washing problem, I minimize deep cleanings by vacuuming it out regularly when I vacuum my car. I purchased it from Toys R Us for the full $160.00. (I didn't know about Albee Baby back then.) $89.99 is a steal of a deal!

Great Carseat
January 19, 2008
We searched all over the internet and stores including Walmart, Target, and Babies R Us to find the perfect seat for our soon to be 1 year old girl. This was the best seat for the price- didn't have to spend $300 for quality!. Found this website and compare price to others and was very pleased (we were able to buy 2 for the price of 1 in stores). Once we received the product within a week I was overjoyed with the colors, cushion, and featrues. I had read that it was difficult to install; but by reading the manual and using a little common sense my husband and I were ready to ride within 25 minutes. The only tricky thing is figuring out how to thread the latch system through the seat. Not too big, not too heavy, great color and material, easy to remove cushion for washing, and fits in both a sedan and Honda Pilot rear facing for now. Love the product and very pleased with Albee baby. Recommend to any first-time parent looking for a final car seat choice.

Great Car Seat

We have two of these car seats, which I paid over $160.00 for each. Great car sat, rates number 2 on Consumer Reports for safety and transitions with your child. I am now about to purchase my third from Albee for Grandma's car. GREAT PRICES!!

Loved this seat!!!!
September 26, 2007
We barrowed this carseat from one of our friends for a 12 hour road trip because it reclines. My son is 2 1/2 and absolutly loved this seat. We reclined it and he slept all night (while we were driving) and wasn't all slouched over. When he was awake we sat hin back upright. He liked that because he sat higher than in his own seat. When it was time to give the seat back he didn't want to.
