Great car seat except for ONE THING....May 17, 2008
We bought this carseat based on CR's ratings for safety and the price. It is very "chic" and I get compliments on it all the time. Some reviews I'd read said they were concerned about the material being too scratchy on their baby's head/body, but I have not found that to be an issue in our 6 months of use.
I LOVE how easy it is to adjust the straps WHILE she's in it. Hooray---after fighting with previous car seats with my other 2 kids, this is a great thing, as we all know if you don't go anywhere for like 5 days, the baby WILL GROW! LOL!!
It is also fairly easy to take in & out of the car; the release mechanism is slightly close to the seat so if you have a large hand, you might struggle a bit to release it.
Now, for the CAVEAT....I can hardly release the handle to rotate backwards to get my daughter out of it. Really. If I get the R side, I cannot release the L side, or vice versa. I know, maybe I'm a wimp. But my LARGE, STRONG husband has trouble too (although not as much as I do). It is so bad that 95% of the time I grab her by her shoulder & thigh and kinda slip her out underneath the handle. She wants to sit up but then she'll bonk her head on the handle. It sucks and I honestly have thought more than once of returning it. Due to the design of the release, its not like you can grease it or something.
A friend of mine has an older one, purchased a few years back, and hers doesnt have that problem, so either its this model (grey with the lime green inserts) or just my carseat. Just wanted to share the information.

 AWESOME car seat!!!!!!!Sep 19, 2007
I had another car seat that I was planning on reusing for our second child, but was never VERY fond of. I got this one based on a great customer review and a prayer! :) hehee! I got it, got it into the car with the base...and have never looked back since. I LOVE IT!!!! SOOOO easy to use (in and out of the car from the base), LOVE the design, LOVE the way my little baby fit in it with a kidopotumus insert (just the head one, not the full body), and she was only 5lbs 10oz leaving the hospital! Her head never bobbed forward, and I was VERY comfortable with her in it!!!!!!!! I am SO thrilled with my car seat.....I was surprised to never have heard about it before...esp for the price!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Carseat, Excellent PriceJun 15, 2007
I was using the Chicco Key Fit system for my 10 month old daughter but I am expecting another baby in 2 months and needed a larger stroller and a second carseat. I chose the Baby Trend because 1) it matched the stroller and 2) it was rated #1 by Consumer Reports. Although they are going to be issuing new reports, it still impressed me. It is lightweight for a carseat, easy to use and looks fantastic. I would have bought another Chicco had they made a tandem stroller but I am very happy with the Baby Trend. Also, I placed my order around 1 p.m. and got the very next day at 6 p.m.!
