great seat
This is a good functioning car seat and my son loves it. I wish I would have bought this when he was an infant and could have used it all the way through.

I'd buy it again
I have used two infant car seats, a convertible seat, forward facing and now this First Years True Fit Convertible. I decided on this seat because I found it rated highly on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website ([...])
and then from the other consumer reviews on this site. I never thought I'd leave the Britax brand, but I am glad I made the leap.
I love this car seat for my 24 lb 18 month old and here's why:
> Once installed, which was very easy to do, it is so secure. It doesn't jiggle around from side to side or up and down. I am using it forward facing with the anchor on top.
>Good recline. My son is able to fall asleep in the seat with his head back or resting against the side. Not to say he doesn't completely pass out with his head flopped forward. Not sure it's because of the seat though.
>Comfort. This seat has more padding for safety and comfort than any other car seat we've owned. I feel really good about my son being in it during our many long trips.
>It just looks good. I like the fabric and the color scheme. It has mesh and my son never comes out of it a sweaty mess like he did in other car seats.
I like this car seat so much that when my 5 month old outgrows his car seat I am going to buy another one of these True Fit Convertibles for him. I highly recommend it and you can't beat that price.

Great seat
I really like this seat and so does my 15 month old. The seat has nice padding and seems comfortable. The only negative is that the seat doesn't recline and so my son's head flops forward when he falls asleep. It was easy to install with clear directions.

Love the True Fit and All the Rearfacing Room!!
By far one of the best seats on the market today!! Was very easy to install with LATCH or seatbelt. Perfect seat to keep your little one rearfacing longer. My 27mth old loves all the room he has rearfacing in his True Fit and it fit my 4.5yr, 41lb son wonderful Forward facing. He has tons of growing room in it too! I give it 2 thumbs up!!

Love, love, love...
I researched for hours, days, weeks... for just the right car seat to fit the needs of my 5 1/2 month old little girl, who is over 100 percentile for weight and height, and had already outgrown her infant carrier seat. This seat is perfect. Although she is already too long to be able to use it with the head rest taken off, it is no bigger than any other convertible car seat that does not have that great option when head rest is attached. She was also too tall and big to still use the infant height insert, which is ok too, because even without it, she seems extremely comfortable in it. Even though it does not have multiple recline positions like others offer, when rear-faced, it reclines plenty. Never have a problem with her head flopping forward. She sleeps very well in it. The material is extremely soft and easily wiped clean, and was not difficult to install. You just really have to read the directions closely and kind of figure things out on your own as you go when the directions seem a bit unclear. I did have to use pool noodle to level the car seat, since it is a reclining bucket seat in the middle of the van and the seat angles, but you have to do that with numerous other car seats as well. I have that thing in there so tight, it doesn't budge. I can't say enough about the car seat- it is great for the price and the options. The seat is nice and deep, with steep sides, so I feel confident that she'll be safe in an accident if impacted from the side. Also love that when you loosen the harness straps completely when taking her out, that they can then fit over the top sides of the car seat so that they are then out of the way until you put her back in, then you can pull them down and back over her to buckle and tighten. Also love that I can keep her rearfacing until 35lbs. I would recommend this to anyone I know with a newborn/infant. I think that it would work great with newborn rearfacing with the headrest off and insert in since it is very plush and seems like it would be comfortable and fit the infant well and not be too spacious and big for a newborn-6 months.

I Like it...
I love the easy off padding! My little guy got the padding dirty and I just whisked it off and washed it without an issue. I did have a problem because his mess got into the harness release button which needed a q-tip to clean. But that isn't the seats' fault. My only other problem is the harness release only completely releases one side of the harness. It wasn't a serious problem since I can get him in, but he would have been more comfy if I could release it a bit further THEN tighten it. I probably have an installation issue since the other side works ok. Since I removed some of the extra padding it is less of an issue. Could be I was coddling him by keeping the extra pads in.
It fits fine in my RAV-4 on the passenger side. I still have him backward facing and my 6'1" husband can fit fine in the front. Yeah, he doesn't drive unless he has to, but he sure can complain about my driving...

Had to return - bad design
The buckle to loosen the shoulder straps and the strap to tighten them is slightly under the seat. This made it impossible to access when put in my car in the rear facing position because the front of the car seat is snug against the back of the car (this blocking access to the buckle and strap). You'll notice on other car seats this device is usually further up. I had to return it because it was unusable for me.

Love this carseat!
We love this seat! It was very easy for my husband to put in our car with just a few minor adjustments it was just the way the instructions said it should be. It is very plush and my daughter seems quite comfy in it. We bought a wedge to make it lean back instead of using a towel or pool noodle which were recommended. The wedge works great and her head no longer slumps forward but the seat is still in the position it needs to be for safety. We are very happy we purchased this seat!

Worst Car Seat to Install EVER!!!!
This is a very poorly designed car seat for installation purposes (Both rear and forward facing). The seat buckle gets in the way from securing the seatbelt strap to the car seat which doesn't allow you to tighten the car seat as well as you should be able to making it loose and unsafe. This holds true for my Wife's cavalier, my grandprix, my Mom's pontiac montana minivan, and my mother-in-law's jeep liberty. The locks that secure the seatbelt strap to the carseat are also at an angle and are not parallel with how the seatbelt runs through the carseat which means you have to use some force to secure the seatbelt strap to the carseat. This makes it difficult to tighten the carseat properly and makes it difficult to install. Other then installation, my 9 month old likes the carseat and seems pretty comfortable in it. We bought a Britax before this one which was a lot easier to install but my daughter cried the entire time she was in it so we got this one instead. So I would recommend this carseat if you never have to reinstall it once it's in your car.
