Car Seat is awesome! Easy to install is an understatement, with the LATCH system it took less then two minutes! My daughter loves it, it was definitely worth the money. Car Seat fits better in our car then our Graco infant seat did.

Comment:
like many others, I seek to find the magic of the Chicco Keyfit 30 in a convertible seat, and am frustrated and disapointed. Price was not a concern, but I did want the best seat for safety and ease of use. <br /><br />The materials are nice and seat is sturdy. Spot clean only though :(<br /><br />I installed it rear facing in the middle of the backseat of my '07 Acura TL, and there's room for passengers on either side, but not much. The police did my carseat check and struggled a lot to get it secure, especially with the latch tether he attached to the floor behind the passenger seat (essentially preventing my passenger from moving fwd or backward unless I mess with the car seat tether.)<br /><br />My son at 16 mos, 23 lbs, and 33 inches has his feet smushed up into the back seat, but otherwise seems comfortable. His head frequently falls forward even with the harness at proper tightness, and he can no longer see out the side windows because of the wing-like sides of the seat top. <br /><br />My concern is the straps get twisted on a daily basis, and when I pulled them forward for slack, one strap detached from the back and pulled right through! Who has time to take the straps and pieces apart to untwist all the time? <br /><br />Whereas the Keyfit has the easy button to depress to pull straps for slack, the Boulevard requires you slip one or two fingers upwards and backwards into the interior of the seat, press up, then pull one strap at a time. I hate it and so does my son. <br /><br />I'm willing to try another Britax, but they need to address these problems...over $300 for headaches and safety concerns is ridiculous.
