Eddie Bauer Deluxe 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat

I have previously purchased older models of this same style seat (Eddie Bauer) and had no issues. This particular model I am having a problem with the straps getting twisted. It seems minor but its difficult to strap my son in with the straps twisted so I have to untwist them before strapping him in to ensure he is secure. The other thing is that its difficult to adjust the straps because of the base. Maybe I am just complaining but the previous models I had were not this difficult. If you have a child with chunky legs like my sons be sure to make sure the legs are clear when strapping them in because the buckle between the legs can pinch.

The only reason I didn't rate this as a 5 is that the straps do get twisted around a bit which I noticed in some other reviews but it's really not as bad as I was expecting. It's an excellent value. My daughter is very comfortable and safe and I love this car seat! It was WELL worth the money that I paid.

Great Service from Amazon. I ordered and received it in a few days. My 18 month old daughter loves the car seat, she looks very comfortable sitting on it. Easy to assemble, the only downside is that it is bulky and heavy. I guess that is the price you pay when you want the car seat to last for a few years through the growing phase.

We ordered three of these (2 gandbabies on the way). Nice and sturdy but not really good for an infant. It's a huge challenge to adjust the straps (for smaller children). And, you can't use it as a carrier (BIG ISSUE) which means you have to purchase a second car seat that doubles as a carrier (because no one sells just carriers anymore). Initially, I thought this wasn't a big deal, but it is extremely inconvenient not having a place to put an infant in certain situations (e.g., restaurants or in the grocery store).

On a good note, it looks ideal for a toddler - equipped with a cupholder (though one of the three arrived without the cupholder and Amazon has not responded to any of my emails to fix it) ...

Bottom line - my recommendation - don't waste your money ... it's too inconvenient. And, especially with a new baby, practicality is key!

Finally I got a carseat that is comfortable!! It reclines a little more than the other one I had, but watch out!! This is for kids 1yr of age and older, I don't think it would be as comfortable for a small baby. I don't think it's that heavy either, it's kind of bulky but I wanted it that way so I don't have a problem with it.
