Is the seat hard? Every convertible car seat at target had very hard bottoms. I'd like one with real cushioning!

Yes it is on the heavy side and a little on the big side (you wont be able to put it on the front of a shopping cart but that's unsafe anyway, it will fit in the cart). As far as cushioning I think it has enough to protect baby and I always recommend those neck pillows to keep the babys head in place (my preference)...overall I love it, my son seems comfortable.

Honestly, I'm not sure how heavy the seat is but it IS HEAVY! Heavier than most car seats on the market. With all that said, it's a great seat.

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:)

It's not super padded, but not hard plastic either. If you find it too hard, it would be easy to get a cushioned seat cover. I did find myself sore from the seat for the first few days, but if you use it consistently, you won't notice it for long.

Yes, the seat is uncomfortable to say the least. We tried 4 different seats and the Cloud Nine seat was the most comfortable. It is a great bike and folds easily.

the seat is hard metal like the back of the chair. it's a very comfortable chair though, and you could put a cushion on it if you want a softer seat. i love the chair

The padding at the bottom is good BUT there's not much support on the neck/headrest. I have to constantly look back and adjust his neck while driving ( not too safe) I went to Babies R Us and bought him a neck rest but that didn't work since it pushes his head forward. At this point I do not know what to do.

Having never sat in it personally, I can't say whether or not it's comfortable, but my kids don't seem to mind it at all. We have two different patterns of this car seat, and both appear to be the same fabric type. We live in a very hot and humid climate, and I was concerned they would heat up, but so far we haven't had any problems that way. The fabric is smooth and they seem to like it. Even on the hottest days their legs don't seem to stick or anything.

With base it is heavy. Carseat by itself is not bad. I carried my fatigued everywhere in it and with her at times it could be heavy.

The seat is a really phenomenal seat, just so comfortable. It is really big though, but I think all of the seats these days are. I think you will be able to get it in to a small car, but the problem is the front passenger seat will be moved up all the way as far as possible, so nobody would really be able to sit there. So, I guess it depends on how important that is. I think any baby seat in a very small car would have the same problem.

The swivel cushion works very well. I have bucket seats in my Honda Civic. We get my 90 year old mother up from her wheel chair and sit her down on the swivel cushion. We lift her legs and turn the seat to get her into the car. There is no stress on my mother at all. It has made it so we can get her in/out of the car.

You would have to see if they have a bar for two car seats. But keep in mind you might have to buy a car seat from them. I had the problem where my car seat did not fit their bar because it was too thick. I'd definitely look in to it before making any decisions.

No. This is not a convertible seat. It is a booster seat with 5 point system. The back raises up and down as needed to fit the child appropriately as they grow.

I purchased this pillow following back surgery.O found that it is comfortable to sit on,in a car.But I never could use it on a soft cushioned chair,or couch.I walked around the house,trying it on every chair,and I found that if I took the cushion,out of a hard,wooden seated chair,that I could use this cushion.This is a perfect example of why something that is supposed to be good for body alignment,is not comfortable for everyone.

That is obviously a matter of personal opinion. However, this car seat is rated very well for safety and the majority seem to be very pleased with it. It is a heavier seat and I wouldn't recommend it being used for a seat that needs to be moved a lot. That's probably the only negative that I could come up with. I have 3 kids, have used many car seats, and this is by far, my absolute favorite.
