27 of 27 people found the following review helpful.We bought the Chicco travel system in "Romantic." Though, I'm not sure why they call it the "Romantic," since there's nothing Romantic about this color scheme. Black and grey. Very neutral, hides dirt, matches my dark grey car interior. My son fits very comfortably in this car seat. The pull-string feature makes it very easy to tighten up or loosen the straps. The little covers on the straps keep them from digging into his neck. The fabric is very durable and wipes down easily. The base fits very securely with the LATCH system in my 2002 Honda CRV. It can also be installed quite firmly using seatbelts. The base includes little bubble levels so you know that it is installed properly. The seat clicks into the base unit very securely, but also is simple to remove by firmly squeezing the release on the back of the seat behind baby's head. The seat can be used without the base, and secured into a car with the seatbelts; I'm not too thrilled with the overall security of this arrangement. My husband has used this function about three times when he had the baby and the carrier and needed to go somewhere while I was using the family car. We feel that it is secure enough for very low-speed trips on residential roads, but would not feel comfortable enough to travel on highways or interstates without the base. As a carrier, I don't find it to be too heavy or cumbersome, even though I'm only 5'2". The handle is comfortable for both myself and my tiny hands, and for my husband and his giant paws.I'm sorry to say that my son is extremely tall for a 5-month old, and is already 30 inches in height. The guidelines for this seat say that it should last until the child is 30 pounds, or 30 inches tall. Technically, the 30 inches tall is a guideline, since the actual time when the child outgrows the seat is when there is less than 1" of shell above his/her head. This ends up being an inch or so above the top of the Chicco label, depending on how the cover is fitted around the seat. We've got about a half inch to go before he maxes out on the height limit, even though he is nowhere near the weight limit (he's 15 pounds). I wish they made seats for taller children so I could keep him in a seat I feel so safe with. Still, I consider it a very good investment, since he would have outgrown almost any non-convertible seat.I gave it 4 stars because I found (like many other reviewers) that my son got very sweaty in this during the summer. Since I live in the Pacific Northwest and don't have particularly hot summers, it wasn't a big deal for us, but I would hate to be in a southern state dealing with a warm car seat. I wish my son could get more than 6 months out of it, but it isn't Chicco's fault that he's tall. If the seat was any larger, other consumers would be knocking down the ratings for the seat being too bulky.I have a few complaints about other reviewers' complaints. First and foremost... THIS SEAT DOES NOT FIT ON TOP OF A SHOPPING CART BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. Chicco didn't overlook anything, and the product isn't flawed; it is safer and Chicco should be commended for trying to prevent parents from putting their child in danger for the sake of convenience. Second... yes, you do need to use two hands to press the buttons on either side of the carry-handle in order to change its position, and this also makes the product safer and should not be considered a product flaw. I have personally seen other infant carriers bump against something (in the case I saw, a chair), engage the button to change the carry-handle position, and the bucket tipped forward. Luckily, the carrier was holding an older, alert baby with good head control. If that had been an infant, his head would have been thrown forward. If the parents had not had the baby securely strapped in (yes, many parents keep the baby unstrapped in the carrier when not in the car) he could have tumbled out of the seat. Therefore, I don't mind having to depress both buttons in order to unlock the position of the carry-handle.I am happy to answer any questions that are submitted as comments to my review.

12 of 12 people found the following review helpful.I recently had a Peg Perego and that was so ridiculously heavy I had to buy a new car seat. This is the best one I have found! It is modern looking, the safest on the market, SO easy to install, and my daughter looks very comfortable in it. I also love that the weight max is 30 lbs instead of the usual 22lbs. You will not regret this purchase!

11 of 11 people found the following review helpful.I bought this carseat a few months ago for my 3rd baby, and my husband and I like it better than the Graco Snugride that we bought 6+ years ago for our first child. The Chicco carseat base is so easy to install, adjust, and remove from the vehicle that we don't feel the need to buy a second base for my husband's truck. It's also very easy to adjust the tightness of the straps on the baby, which makes it easier to get her in and out and for adjusting based on how thick her clothing is. The colors on this style are very neutral and will work for a boy or a girl and in any vehicle, although the fabric not very soft.On the negative side, it seems like the straps don't fit our baby just right (they seems too short up-and-down when I tighten it enough on her chest), but I'm hoping that it will work better as she grows a little more (she's only 2 months old and about 12 lbs. right now). Our baby hates being in the carseat and won't sleep in it most of the time, but I'm not sure if that's because of it being uncomfortable or if she just doesn't like carseats. We removed the infant support insert a couple of days ago, and she seems to like it a little more now.Overall, I would recommend this carseat.
