This pattern is so pretty in person. Spend the extra money for a Britax carseat. Think about how much of your time is spent in your car... if it's as much as me and your child's safety is important to you as mine, invest. You'll have this one for awhile. Well worth the money and even better that you can get this $100 cheaper than what it normally goes for. I looked at this carseat at target.com when I was pregnant and it wasn't a closeout pattern. Now that my daughter is 6 mo I'm ready to be done carting around her Graco infant carseat. This carseat is perfect!! Up to 65 lbs and a carseat lifespan of 6 yrs... I think we'll be covered for years to come. I was going to get the cowprint one thinking about being able to use later for either sex. But then I realized that it'll probably be my daughter's and only my daughter's.

Easy to install, as far as large Britax seats go. Feels safe and my daughter loves it. She didnt complain one bit. Keep in mind this is a large seat, you likely cant use it rear facing in a small car.

This is the second Britax I have owned. My first was purchased back in 2001 and I love the improvements they have made. The LATCH system makes it so easy to install, and install safely. MAKE SURE YOUR CAR SEAT CANNOT MOVE once installed. There should be very little wiggle room. Take it to your local police station and have them help. The car seat is the best and well worth the money you invest in it. My daughter loves it!
