Safety 1st Continuum 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat - Rear Facing, Forward Facing & Booster - Chili Pepper Red - Safe & Comfortable for Infants to Big Kids - Perfect for Family Road Trips & Daily Commutes

I usually don’t write reviews but if you are looking for a safe “small” car seat that will fit in your car “I drive a Honda Civic” the front seat didn’t need to be moved for her to fit comfortably in rear facing she has head control so I can’t say if it would fit in complete recline mode but it does in 2 and clearly straight up to 1 it was so easy to install it doesn’t move like others I have tried I would recommend this car seat to probably anyone!We have had the Cosco Scerna Next since birth, which we loved, but my toddler outgrew it so we needed a "big boy" carseat. I did a ton of research before buying this seat and I am very happy overall.***PROs***- PRICE. While I'm happy to spend as much as is needed to keep my kiddo safe, my many hours of research have taught me that more money does NOT necessarily mean safer with carseats. This seat has a great safety rating at a price point that allowed us to buy multiples, so we don't have to switch it out between cars all the time.- EASY INSTALLATION. We install with seatbelts, so I cannot speak to the latch system on this one. But I can install this one by myself with fairly little effort and if I have a second person, it can be done in about 60 seconds. This is a big bonus for the grandparents, who only have one that they switch between cars.- SIZE. I was worried about putting a bigger seat rearfacing in the back of my Toyota Matrix, but this one doesn't really take up any more room front-to-back than the Scenera Next did fully reclined for an infant. We want to stay RF for as long as possible and this seat will let us do just that.- TODDLER APPROVED. My 2.5 year old loves the seat. It's comfy without being too hot (a big bonus on the south in July).***CONS***There are really only 2 cons I've found after using this seat for several months.- The straps do tend to twist somewhat easily if you aren't careful while buckling.- The button to loosen the straps is kind of hard to get to when the seat is rearfacing in an upright position.All in all, not deal breakers for us. But annoyances to be aware of for sure.If you are deciding between the Safety 1st Grow and Go and the Continuum, it really comes down to personal preferences.We bought this seat to replace our Safety 1st Grow and Go that was in our Subaru when it was totaled (son was not in the car at the time). I decided on the Continuum because it was cheaper (we had bought the Grow and Go on sale for $100 and couldn't wait for it to go on sale again).First impressions of the Continuum:-Looks, feels, and performs very similarly to the Grow and Go.- the weight limit for the Cont. is only 80 lbs compared to 100lbs for the GnG. My son is on the taller side so I figured he may be too tall for it by the time he reaches 80 lbs.-Cont. only has 1 cup holder but it is removable unlike the GnG.-The Cont. only has 1 removable pillow for behind the back but isn't a problem for my 2 year old.- It has hooks to keep the straps out of the way when loading a child. This is great in theory but honestly I hardly ever use them.-installation took less than 10 minutes for me and I had no problem getting it tight enough so that it moves less than an inch at belt path. Using the latch system, I found it much easier to tighten when I fed the strap back through the belt path and pulled from the opposite side.- Using the seatbelt to install it, I found that the shoulder belt lifted one side of the seat up when fully tighten. This made the seat sit cockeyed, especially rear facing.- In the 6 months we had the GnG, I took off the seat cover to wash it twice. It was fairly easy to get off and on and washed nicely both times. The Cont. has the same seat cover design so i expect it to be as easy.- the head rest does have a tendency to rattle a little when there's not a kid in the seat.The Continuum arrived faster than expected, getting here in about 24 hrs.Hopefully this review is helpful and not too confusing. I will continue to update as we haven't used the Continuum butfor a couple days.UPDATE: we've had the Continuum for 6 months now. Still very happy with this carseat. I've only removed the cover once for washing but it was fairly easy like the GnG. It was a little more difficult put back on but it was because I didnt remove the seat from the car. It was fairly easy to install the first time but i haven't taken it out of our car again so I dont know how easy it is to take out and install if you need to switch between vehicles every week or so.I like that it is large and I really like the weight. Some baby seats are heavy.Hay que informarse bien antes de comprar un autoasiento, pues se trata de un tema de seguridad.Compré este autoasiento para uso secundario.Pros:- ligero- compacto- más ecónomico que otras marcas- seguro- uso desde bebé hasta autoasiento con cinturon de seguridad del cocheCons:- solo cuenta con 3 posiciones de reclinacion- no cuenta con la burbuja indicadora de nivel- los ganchos de anclaje para usar a contra-marcha son sencillos (no la cajita con clip como otras marcas)- la instalacion a contra marcha con ganchos de anclaje se ve sencilla pero para el ajuste se necesitan 2 personasme gusto que tiene lo mínimo necesario para la seguridad de mi hijo; siento que algunas zonas no tiene suficiente protección, pero no veo que se queje mi hijo, sobre todo porque en la carreteras que suelo frecuentar no están en las mejores condiciones. también me gusto que mi automóvil no es muy grande y cabe a la perfección; por el momento mi bebé lo usa mirando hacia atrás.Gran producto y literal es grande la silla, apenas y bien cabe en un Seat León 2016 pero se ve que va super cómoda mi niña, ademas permite q con instalación marcha atrás conductor de 1.75 metros acomode bien su asiento a espaldas del autoasiento (ahora cuando se instale en sentido de la marcha, poes mas espacio) .Ya venia totalmente armada, el único defecto seria que no trae los ganchos ISOFIX sino de otro, tipo mosqueton pero funcionan igualMuy fácil de instalar! Ideal para vehículos con sistema LATCH (también funciona con los cinturones de seguridad). Mi bebé se siente muy cómodo, nos gusta mucho que tiene porta vasos, es muy útil. 100% recomendado, el precio es muy accesible (considerando que la pueden usar desde recién nacidos hasta que tengan una edad suficiente para usar los cinturones del auto).Fácil de instalar, de usar y supongo que además es cómodo pues mi bebé se queda dormida en los trayectos, sólo como recomendación, lean muy bien el instructivo de su auto y las instrucciones de instalación para que sea lo más seguro posible para sus niños
