Fantastic for the price

I have owned this seat for over 2 years. I can not say enough clear things about it. Excellent price, nice accessories, comfortable, simple to use. I am now looking at purchasing a further one as a replacement for of a high back booster. When my youngest was ready for the changeable car seat, we transitioned our kid into this seat to keep her in a harness and not have to by yet a further car seat (booster) in a year. When my youngest was ready, we bought the same seat for her, too. I like the fact that I can keep my children safe in a harness for so long lacking having to dip into their institution funds! I'm looking forward to using these seats for many more years.
Excellent for the price

I've had this seat for about a year and a half now, but in a different color. I bought it for my oldest child, primarily since it has a less vital base than most of the other kid/booster seats. This was very valuable to me since I have to fit 3 car seats in the back of my car and wider seats won't fit. I also like how simple the cover is to remove and clean and the straps are very simple to adjust with the push button. I've also found the seat as a whole to be rather durable. I have taken it as checked baggage on multiple overseas flights (I'm sure all knows how rough the airlines tend to treat checked bags) and no parts were ever broken. I have been very satisfied with this seat and plot on purchasing a further for my second child soon.
So far, so excellent

We went our youngest into our kid's ancient car seat and went our kid into this one. He was exceptionally excited to be getting a new car seat and so far he has really liked it. I based my car seat choice on a number of factors. One being the toxicity of the item. This item was satisfactory and I wanted to stick to this brand since I have had excellent luck with it in the past. [...]
The push button to loosen the straps on this seat is better than the ancient "tether" version on our previous Graco car seat (it is just more comfortable, quicker, and less fumbling). The colors are cute too, if that matters. I like the fact that this is the last car seat we will ever have to buy for him, since it converts to a booster that will hold up to 100 pounds. My husband doesn't care for the reclining aspect, but our son finds it much more comfortable and he's the one who has to sit (and now and again nap) in it. I would urge it.
A pretty excellent car seat.

I don't have a lot to compare this seat against, but it seems to work pretty well. I've used this for about 3 months before reviewing.

Pros: Honestly simple to get in and out of the car. There is a cup holder too, which is nice. The seat is also very simple to adjust as your child grows. Works from children 20-100 lbs. so I won't have to buy a further seat until we are ready to go to the booster.

Cons: Seems like your child will have to get used to sleeping in it at first. My daughter couldn't figure out how to position her head when she slept. It took about two car trips for her to find a position she liked and now she sleeps comfortably in the seat all the time.

I never had any of the issues that other reviewers had with the cover coming undone nor did I find the clip simple to un-clip. I very please with the car seat.

I have had this car seat for three years now and have been quite impressed. It has been durable, simple to clean, and sturdy (unlike our secondary seat, a Costco, that my DS can tip over on corners if he throws his weight to the side!). The only reason I didn't give it a full five stars is since I've had similar tribulations as some of the other reviewers in that the corners of the foam broke off with just normal wear and tear, and the front adjustment clip plate seems glued in place when I'm trying to get the cover off to wash, but my four year ancient has been able to pull it off easily when bored. Unlike other reviewers, I've had no problem adjusting the harness straps for different bulkiness in clothing, and, when used as a booster, the seat belt straps across easily and in the right place for my son's body.

I would urge it to anyone looking for a excellent car seat at a excellent price. If I needed a further one, I would certainly buy a Cargo again.
