I wanted to love this seat. It was easy to install and I love how easily adjustable it is. My 22 lb & my 44 lb kid could both sit in it with an easy, quick adjustment. The first annoyance with this seat was how difficult the chest clip & buckle were to get undone. With time this got a bit better. The biggest annoyance, and the one we just couldn't live with was the rattle from somewhere in the headrest. I've gone through four of these seats hoping I'd find two that didn't rattle, but I haven't had any luck. They're going back and we'll try something else.

Love this car seat! Bought it for my Grandson, he was out growing his original carrier car seat! Fits him really well and he looks really comfortable in it!

I use this car seat everyday for my son. We are pleased with the appearance of it. It's a little difficult to get him in and out of. My friends and family always have a hard time also. I wish the latch was a little easier to use. I'm better at it now but I get practice everyday. Other than that it is great!

The seat does ok for the price. I have found that the buckle over my son's chest is extremely difficult to clip apart and fear splitting a nail each time I have to unclip it. The pads are very floppy and easily in the way. The cup holder is not removable so it cannot be removed to wash in the dishwasher. Clearly not a great car seat, but the price was right and you get what you pay for. However if it is your first/only child, spend an extra $100-$150 and buy the Chicco NextFit. MUCH mroe user friendly.

We got the My Size 70 and I loved the cushioning, the size, how my son fit in it, the features, easy to install... The harness sucked. Yes, many of the reviews are true. It is hard to tighten. I searched the internet and even joined the Car seats for the Littles FB group to ask questions. I could get the harness tight enough after learning some of the tricks, but it was always a fight, and when you have a squirming baby, you can't be fussing around with the straps on a car seat. You need it to work, and you need it to work NOW!

From what I have read, not everyone has problems with the harnesses on their My Size/Size4Me 70 car seats. We just happened to be some of the unlucky ones. We returned our seat to BRU last night and told the sales clerks the issue. They had never heard of the problem, but they had us put DS in their floor models to see if there was the same problem. There was. I think it comes down to a poorly designed "no-thread" harness mechanism. At the lower headrest settings, the plastic part that holds the padding sets over the harness straps and any little pressure (like your LO sitting in the seat) prevents the straps from sliding as they should. The issue is also only a problem rear facing because forward facing I figure the headrest is usually high enough to not rub the straps.

Overall, I still liked it as a car seat. I did get the harness tight enough, but I didn't think I could last years of struggling just to make sure it was. If you're lucky enough to get a batch that doesn't have harness issues, then you are lucky because you got a great car seat at a great price. It's small enough to fit in smaller cars too, in my opinion. We have a Nissan Murano, and while we didn't put it in the middle seat because there was no LATCH, we put it behind the passenger seat. The passenger seat couldn't go ALL the way back, but there was still plenty of room for my 6' 3'' husband to sit.

Fits great in my Equinox and Malibu rear Facing with my seat back as far as I need it being that I am 5'8". I would recommend this seat for any baby that can already sit up. I would not of used it for my newborn, my baby liked to sleep more at a recline in this car seat and her head would be bobbing around. The only thing I do not like is how hard it is to tighten the harness. I would of given it 4 stars if it weren't for the harness.

It is really nice. My baby girl fits in it nice and it is easy to adjust.

I purchased this seat for my almost one-year-old who still fits in his infant carrier but hates being so reclined. We now use it rear-facing in our mini van. Our little one loves it, naps comfortably, yet sits up enough to play when he's awake. My favorite part about this seat is how easy it was to install! I was able to install it myself without any problem. Also, upon opening it I adjusted it to fit my 8-year-old. It was so easy to adjust, and fit his 60-pound frame easily and comfortably. So I know this will be a good fit for my 1-year-old as he grows.

My grandbaby had a very hard start in life and had a lot of traveling to doctors early so after research and checking out the top safest seat I bought this one and not only am I happy but most of all she not at almost 3 months just loves it. It does take a bit to tighten the seat in but for her safety I never mind getting it right. With being a new grandparent I have bought my share of car seats and I wish I had this when mine where babies.
