Baby Trend Secure Snap Tech Infant Car Seat, Lavender Ice

We purchased this seat for our daughter before she was born as we have small babies and it first smaller babies. She was 5lbs11oz and 18.75 inches at birth and fit very well. At just over 2 months of age we were rear-ended. Our daughter was completely safe, not a scratch in her, the only injuries she recieved was aggrivati9n of torticollis (she had torticollis from birth due to her position inutero) we replaced the seat with the exact same seat, down to the color. Second seat, she was under 7lbs still, fit in it perfectly, no longer needed the small infant insert to boost her. While loading her into the car, I tripped and fell while carrying the carseat with her in it, strapped in correctly. The carseat slammed onto the asphalt and slid a bit (damage shown in pictures) our daughter was completely unharmed. I am only 5'2" so it was not that far of a fall, but as soon as I realized I was going down I thought it I held the carseat higher I could prevent it from hitting the ground. (I could not because thats not how gravity or physics work) my older 2 kids immediately ran to help, checking on the baby as well as me. Once again baby was completely unharmed.

This is a really great car seat for new babies . The cushion is super soft and very comfortable . I have bought 2 for my babies and love them. The handle is made for easy carry also !

We are obsessed with this car seatwe purchased this in pink when we went to go get our newborn fosterwhen we had to reunify her - we returned itthen we got the call for a baby boy - and our local store didn't have this carseat in any color but pinkso we purchased a different one - and we HATED itso the next day we ordered this online and returned the other onewhat we love...so our foster boy is premie - and in this one his head doesn't fall down at all - the cushions on the side hold him up very nicelyhes nice and snug inside the carseat - he honestly looks protected from just a glancethe criss cross handle - easy to hold and easy to rock when on the flooronly downside is it is one of the heaviest car seats we have seen - but its worth it for protection

The base installation was the easiest one I’ve ever done and this was bought for my 4th baby so we have used so many car seats. Used it for 4 months til we got the 4-1 and it’s amazing some times I still use it with her if the weather is crappy

Great quality, color & easy installation!

Edit:***I found that there is a know in the back to lengthen the car seat as your baby grows. This helped the straps become less strenuous on myself. So if you have a newborn and the straps are giving you trouble, try lengthening the car seat first and then play around with the straps before shortening it back. ***The car seat itself is a pretty blue color but the straps suck so much!Even with following the videos, it takes so much strength to loosen and tighten the straps and when you have a newborn baby that just doesn't work for me. You have to be a she-hulk in order to make it work (and I'm a strong person, so that's telling you something). Perhaps we have a flawed one? Or maybe the straps are messed up in the mechanism itself?Also be aware that the straps don't loosen a significant amount. Maybe that's purposeful, but you have to fold your baby in half every time to get him in and out of the car seat. Which I understand babies are bendy and used to that, but he gets fussy every time we have to bend him in half in order to get the straps around him. That's going to keep getting worse as he gets bigger.

Love it , it’s so cute

Study, snuggle, and easy to wash. I love the straps, latch system is normal.
