I did a lot of research before choosing this car seat. The seat has great safety reviews, reasonably priced, and has more cushion/comfort features than others. My daughter seems to really like sitting in it, and she wasn't a fan of her infant seat.

The selection of colors for this seat was really lacking in my local stores. I found the raspberry rose color online, and the fuchsia/chocolate brown combo looks just like the picture in person.

We have only used the seat facing the rear, and we haven't had any problems. We've used the seat in multiple vehicles using the anchoring LATCH system, and none of the cars have had super contoured seats.

I bought this for my toddler. Never used rear facing. Easy to install and to get secure. I know her head is well protected with air side panels. At 4 1/2 she cant fasten and unfasten the chest clip, it is tight and secure. I dont mind doing it for her, knowing she is safe. She is my third child and I have been through many seats through the yrs. This is SAFE and uncomfortable. We go on long trips and she is very cozy. Side panels allow her to rest her head and sleep.

This seat is very difficult to install rear facing and I would not reccomend it unless you are going to be using it front facing.
