We have 2 of these. My boys love them, they are quite comfortable. I was impressed with the selection of colors and fabric. We bought the jazzy bright blue and black version, the fabric is easy to wipe up.
I also enjoy that there are several layers to the seat so it grows with your child while protecting and comforting the smaller infants. The top portion of the seat can be removed making it possible to see over the top in a rear facing position. There is a clever line that lets you know when you need to replace the top piece.
The sides come around offering more protection in a side impact crash. I feel as though my children are secure in this seat. I feel safety is no time to skimp, but that also doesn't mean you need to buy the most expensive seat on the market. First Years has made a quality product that is affordable in this seat.

Review 2 for The First Years - True Fit Convertible Car Seat, Aurora
Annoying Design Flaws,
08/28/2009

out of 5
This seat, like most, is a bear to install. Not impossible, but challenging.
As far as use goes.... A couple design flaws are the fact that the seats belt release is under the front of the seat. So when in rear facing mode and installed properly (not to move more than an inch along the belt path), one must reach their hand between the back of the seat of the vehicle and the front of the car seat to access the lever to tighten or release the seats belt (5pt harness).
Another design flaw is that the seats belt path is so constricted when the seat in installed properly in rear facing mode, that once you have accessed the release lever the belt (5pt harness) itself is hard to pull through. One must grab the belt from behind the seat to loosen slack for the child to be taken out.
I think this is all due to it being rear facing, so once it gets turned around when our child is 2yrs old, I believe all these issues will be null and void.

Review 3 for The First Years - True Fit Convertible Car Seat, Aurora
Absolutely Love It,

We absolutely love this carseat, it was worth the money. If you drive a compact car though, beware... the passenger in front of the carseat will not have much leg room. Also, easier to buckle if starting with leg buckles before chest buckle and this is definitely not a seat to take out once installed. My son seems extremely comfy in his new ride though and we just ordered one for my husband's truck.

I done alot of reasearch before buying a carseat, and actually bought another one before this one, because it was cheaper. big mistake! I ended up taking it back the same day and ordered this one online. It was here in 2 days. It was super easy to install. We used the LATCH system. We have it rearfacing behind the passenger seat. (we drive a kia sorento) no problem. to adjust the harness, it's pretty simple. It's just kinda hard to pull it sometimes when it's already installed. The cushions in it feel fabulous! They feel so luxurious. And the best part is how u can adjust the harness straps in it. And u also don't have to undo the straps to take it out, u just pull it out. It also comes with a head support cushion, which would be great with a younger baby.It is rated high with all it's safety features. It is a little higher than most car seats, but it is definantly worth it. I would reccomend this to everyone. It really is great. The car seat I returned, btw, was My seat 65 by GRACO. It was horrible. The seat was so hard without the cushion in it, and the crotch strap cut into her legs.

My daughter loves this car seat. We bought two of the same car seat, one for my car and one for my husbands truck. It took awhile to get the car seat installed because making it "level" was tricky. I would get everything tightened, and then notice it wasn't level, so I would have to start over. The only other thing is when the car seat is facing backwards, in my husbands truck, you can't recline the seat at all. The top of the car seat is too wide for the opening it gives between the 2 front seats. But that is no big deal. I wish I would have bought this car seat sooner. I waited until my daughter was 9 months (18 pounds). Great purchase!!!!

Review 7 for The First Years - True Fit Convertible Car Seat, Aurora
Great seat but...,

This seat is fantastic! We love it, we currently use it facing backwards, for our seven month old, and he loves it, the only problem is that it was very hard to install. I mean, the directions are simple, and on paper, not hard at all, but we don't have LATCH and to use the seatbelt, and get it tight enough to where it doesn't move more than an inch in either direction, the way it shouldn't move when installed properly, it is really hard. If you have a seatbelt with shoulder and lap, it is even harder to get the clips to clamp down...again to get it tight like it needs to be, but we have leather seats and that caused it to move more easily than normal. Other than that, and the snaps are kind of hard to snap on the cover...it is really great and I would recommend it, we just needed a noodle to install it properly, and we had it installed by a licensed child seat installer. Hope this helps!

I researched a lot before i bought a new car seat for my 7 month old who had outgrown his infant carrier. If I had known at the time of my baby shower that they made a car seat that works for infants through 65 lbs, I would have asked for it!!! This item is very easy to clean. The cover snaps off easily. Also, to raise or lower the shoulder straps, you dont have to take everything apart, you just raise up a little bar on the back!! I did have to read the manual to figure how to get everything together. But overall I am sooooo happy that I went with this item. It had the best safety rating of all of the ones I found on walmart.com
