To tighten the straps, there is a button under the padded seat that you push down and it makes it so much easier to tighten the straps. If you don’t push that button, it’s almost impossible to pull that strap, for good reason

Thanks for being thorough. I was a fan of the baby trend inertia, and it expired after my last baby. I was sad to see that it is no longer available for baby #6. This seem pretty close but I liked the base with the inertia.

My daughter was 5 lbs when she was born and this seat fit her way better than the one we brought her home in. We got this one a few days after she was born bc i hated our first car seat. I loved that you could adjust the back so she was able to fit in it past one years old. I hated when she outgrew it bc i loved this seat so much🤣 it was so easy to put in and out of the car. But i agree it was hard to adjust the straps but that really wasn’t that big of an issue.

We found the manual on accident too haha!

you put your seatbelt through it to secure it more

It doesn't turn face forward does it? At least I can't figure out how it does if it does. Hate that. Wish I had known.
