Comment:

I have no regrets with this car seat. It is everything Consumer Reports said it would be and more. I have children in their 20's and a new baby and this seat is so much better than I could have expected. It was easy to install and is easy to get baby in and out of car. It is lightweight so even with 20 pound baby seat is still managable. I work and the baby comes with me and we are always on the go. This seat cleans up nice and the baby seems very happy in it.

Overall the car seat is fine. It seems comfortable for the baby. My biggest complaint is that the locks sometimes stick making it difficult to remove from the base.

I love the keyfit system. The carseat is easy to install and the level on the base lets you know that you have it balanced correctly. The orange buttons and handles are easy to find (even for grandparents who don't normally use it) and to use. It clicks into the base or the stroller very easily. I would definitely but it again. It is worth the money.
