Customer Reviews

A great Car seat to Rival Britax
This is a wonderful seat I, and my child, love. We traded out our Britax Marathon for it and she has no desire to go back! She is two and half and still rear faces in it. Plus:
High top slots, there are FIVE sets of harness slots at 10", 12", 14", 16", and 18". At 35" she is still on the second ones up from the bottom.

Tons of supportive padding, at the hips, head and the harness straps. The small pads on the harness pad do a great job of giving her just enough space with the pillow but still allow her to use it comfortably. And these all come out when your child is older. The belly pad is MUCH nicer than Britax's and ACTUALLY stays where it should! And the head support is supposed to be a bit floppy. Just pull it up from behind child before you buckle them. It take a second to position. Would you want a piece of dense foam beside your head or a soft pillow?

High shell back for older kids. My five year old at 47" can sit in this seat (not that little sis will let her). Her shoulders touch but she is not as squished as the marathon, surprising considering how much deeper the side wings are.
The Side Impact Protection. The side wings are SOO deep! I feel like my daughter is actually sitting in this seat not on it. Yes, I cannot see her well in it because of them. But I am comfortable knowing she is safely secure and a properly used car seat it SAFER than leaving her alone in her crib!
The fabric is SOFT. And doesn't cause sweating as bad as the marathon.

Some have said they have problems installing but I have had no issues so far, you will probably need a towel or pool noodle.
It does not tether rear facing but it doesn't NEED to. The high base acts as a rebound bar to keep the seat from slinging forward.

Others say the straps tangle. So far it hasn't been as bad as the Marathon and with these I don't have to untwist them through the "HUGS" pads as well. If you always grab the straps from the shoulder and work your way down you'll find you will have no problems.

The harness adjust wonderfully and tucks away under the velcro pocket so my daughter won't play with it.
I also love the color scheme better. We got the "blush" so it it girly with out being obnoxiously so and matches the vehicle's interior.

I could go on forever about how much I like this seat and I am glad I took all the reviews I read with a grain of salt because I am nothing but pleased with this seat.

I like this seat.
I've never written a review before so here it goes:

-We have a 25 pound, 7 month old boy that fits perfectly in this seat in regards to straps, positioning, and freedom of movement (well, as much as a 7 month old really needs)

-We have a 2005 Toyota Corolla and can fit this seat in the back in the rear facing position with little difficulty. When installing the seat ensure you read and look at the diagrams and pictures....it might just be me (probably), but it doesn't make sense otherwise. Once you read and look, you can install the seat with realive ease.

Well, that's it. Thank you for the time.

A Great Seat, but Subaru Owners Beware
I love this car seat. It is so comfortable for my baby, easy to adjust, and has an easy to clean cover. The only problem is that it does not fit in my car rear facing. I have a 2008 Subaru Outback with leather seats and it took two car seat technicians almost two hours to try to get it installed rear facing. We tried all three back seat positions, using seatbelts and LATCH, but couldn't get it right. It fits forward facing beautifully, but we won't be ready for that for awhile. That said, I left the fire station with an inexpensive Cosco seat that we could install safely rear facing. I plan on keeping the Signo until we are ready to face forward because I like the seat and we used it a couple of weeks until I sought out help installing it properly. I've heard that the newer model Outbacks are very challenging to install a rear facing car seat in.
