It has both like the car seat and also another one to tie to a chair so it can be still. It is pretty safe.

You should find a local car seat safety tech. They will be able to teach you how to install it properly.

With the convertible car seats, I don't see why anyone would get safeseat. For next db I will get a snugride then use our convertible car seat. My db wanted a more "upright" seat asap and she was under the 1yo weight limit. The bucket seat becomes uncomfortable to them. You can use the covertible car seats up to 2 years rear facing, which is supposed to be the safest way to go. Then use them forward facing up to 65 lbs. So it doesn't make sense to get the largest bucket seat, besides you can't carry them in it after like 14 lbs.

I think so. My wife installed the seat I n her car. She feels it safe and comfortable. Good luck.

Car seats are crash tested with their specific parts. They recommend against using ANYTHING else in the car seat.

The restrictions don't go by age, they go by weight. This car seat is made for babies from 5 to 22 pounds.

I would follow the instructions and wait until she is 40lbs. That is the safest option. The 5 point harness car seats are the safest for every child. Britax makes one that can be used up to 80lbs.

It is a super comfy seat for the little ones. This includes the memory foam and the reclining position. I have car seats for two other vehicles and this is far superior to the others that are also comparable in price.

This seat is secured by running the car seatbelt through a guide and then fastening it to the clip. We have a tendency to be a little over cautious. The child who is in this seat is turning 6 tomorrow. For a 3 year old, I would stick to the 5 point harness car seat. We actually had the 9 year old in the 5 point harness Britax seat. He was comfortable and a lot safer.

I bought this for my grandson. I am not familiar with all the technical aspects as my daughter had researched those prior to purchase. I do know that my grandson is very comfortable in it and not as resistant to being in a car seat as he was with his infant seat. I can get him in and out of it pretty easily which is a plus for me.

Hello. I researched so many different brands, types, & models of car seats before I purchased mine that I don't remember the different specs. I went to the actual manufacturers websites and called the manufacturers with lots of questions also. I just know that the Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat was a better fit for my little girl. Just went and compared the two quickly and right off the Diono is forward facing with the 5 point harness up to 80 lbs whereas the Safety 1st is only to 40 lbs. I also like the steel alloy frame & aluminum reinforced side walls of the Diono. If you haven't visited the manufacturers website for Diono its us.diono.com. Thanks & Congrats:)

I am not sure about that. We use Graco and have never had a problem. The side of the car seat should have a label saying it is airline approved or TSA approved.

My husband, six-year old, and myself were rear-ended last night (13 hours ago) by a guy driving a 2013 Porsche Cayenne (1999 Camry for us). My husband and I both needed to be examined at the hospital and have whiplash injuries. My son was completely unscathed, scared for a moment but not hurt in any way. The fire department first responders took one look at Felix's seat, checked that it was installed correctly, and high-fived Felix, telling me that they rarely see any injuries in big kids in those kinds of seats. Felix is 6.5 years old, 45" tall. 45 lbs of muscle. He is not sore at all today either, but holy crap, I am sore. The fire captain advised me that even though the seat visually looks fine that the seatbelts have been strained and the foam is probably somewhat compressed so we should replace it. I am here to buy another one today. Worth EVERY penny for Felix to be completely unhurt and the guy who hit us or his insurance will have to pay for it.

For Safety 1st years the average is 6-8 years from the date of manufacture. I don't remember the window of time for this one specifically, but it will def get her through the years you would want a good carseat and solid booster! Most kids want the smaller less obvious boosters when they get close to reaching the age that they ALMOST don't need one anymore. And it can be used as five point harness seat for a LONG time. My son is almost 4 and still has LOTS of weight and height to go before he meets the recommended requirements for the booster option! I love the Alpha seats, all three of my kids have them :)
