It's been extensively crash tested to meet or exceed U.S. standards, and engineered for safety. The seat's base stays put in your car for a convenient, one-time installation.

 Excellent infant car seat. May 31, 2009

I read the Amazon reviews, but more research on this seat yielded better results.
My wife and I are approximately 5'10" and can fit in a Subaru Outback with the car seat securely fastened in the back. It's snug for the front passenger, but adequate.
We were swayed by the 30 lbs. limit on this first seat for our child. In some other seats, we'd be having to expend time and money buying another soon, but I'd still be comfortable purchasing another Graco.
Installing the base using the LATCH system is a breeze and is fairly intuitive. Removing the seat from the base is a simple squeeze with one hand.
Awesome Seat! February 8, 2010

I bought a version (different colors) of this seat for my newborn twins. I like that the base has a level to let you it is installed properly and that when you drop the seat into the base, it makes a very secure CLICK to let you know it's properly connected.
What I didn't like was the weight. You see those moms running around carrying their carseats instead of putting them on the strollers...and I'm betting you'll never see them with this one! It's super heavy but it was a small price to pay for the feeling of security these seats brought.
I also wasn't impressed at what a chore it was to wash the fabric. Dismantling the straps was a big pain but the fabric washed very nicely, didn't stain, and looked brand new the entire time I used them.
I'd definately recommend them!
Long lasting all around good carseat July 23, 2010

We bought this carseat in conjunction with a stroller to use as a travel system. I was concerned about the seat being too big given it's 30lb weight limit, but it works just fine in my Honda Civic. Yes, the one seat has to be pushed up a bit to get it to fit rear facing, but it's not that bad. Our daughter was a preemie and was only 5lbs when we finally brought her home. The seat has fit her well from the beginning(we did use a roll cushion to fill the gaps, per the NICU recommendation) all the way to the present(she's 15m). We are just now starting to explore getting a new seat and only because she is almost at the height limit. It is a little heavy, but most seats are once you add your child. Overall, it's a great seat and still looks great even after the constant in and out of the car for the last 15 months.
Pretty good, but too snug March 13, 2009

My daughter has used this car seat about 10-20 times in her first six months, as we live in New York and use a car infrequently for longer out-of-town trips. It was fine for the first month or two, but our daughter is pretty big, and soon it became too tight for her. The shoulder straps are very difficult to figure out, and appear not to expand too much, so once your child is 15-20 pounds, it can be very difficult for her to fit comfortably. Aside from the size issue, it's very comfortable and soft, with a nice canopy. It's not too heavy, but feels very safe. And, we have had no trouble fitting it in mid-size cars.
 Takes up WAY TOO MUCH SPACE! July 23, 2008

I can't stand this car seat because it takes up way too much front to back space on the car seat. In order to fit it into our Chrysler 300M we had to put it on the rear right side seat and move the passenger seat all the way forward! Our car has quite a bit of space in the back seats, but this car seat takes up way more than it should.
You also have only one slot for the front buckle that goes between the baby's legs, so it's not adjustable in that sense.
The mesh cover is nice and soft though :)
