Customer Review
Simply the best car seat - but don't pay over $160
We tried many car seats, and I'm resisting the urge to do a detailed review comparing each of the styles we tried. They each have pros & cons, including this one - latches, ease of installation, ease of adjustments, comfort for the child, style/design, etc.But this seat is currently the only seat on the market that got the most consistent 5-star ratings from the National Highway Safety, and independent crash test ratings. You can verify that on your own (this is for 2009-2010).So for me, that was 90% of my decision. I just want the safest seat - all the other concerns are secondary.I will add that this one installs easiest of all the car seats we tried. I'll also add that we're very excited about the design (this one's very sleek), the color (chocolate &/or cappuccino go well with our vehicles, and classy/stylish), and I like all the padding and inserts that make it comfortable for our child. And I can definitely say this has higher quality parts...

That rating system is only for ease-of-use!
A previous reviewer mentioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ratings, and mistakenly stated that these were rating child safety. The ratings system does NOT rate safety, only ease of use. Just FYI.From [...]"Q2. is a seat that receives the highest rating safer than a seat that receives the lowest rating?A. No. A child restraint is most effective if correctly installed in a vehicle and if the child is correctly secured in the restraint. The ratings represent each child restraint's individual category rating as well as its overall rating for Ease of Use, not safety."

Product Description
The First Years True-Fit Convertible Car Seat is designed to be the best-fitting rear-facing car seat on the market. Competitor's car seats are often too tall to fit properly in a rear-facing position. The True-Fit has a removable headrest that allows for correct rear-facing installation. Once baby is large enough for a forward-facing seat, there is no need to purchase a new one, just re-attach the headrest and turn it around! Safety features include a lower center of gravity to truly fit a 65 lbs child, full EPP foam liner and a no rethread five-point harness for simple adjusting. And, the easy-off pad unsnaps to allow for easy cleaning!
