I absolutely love this car seat and so does my daughter.
She didnt have any problems adjusting to this seat.
I spent two weeks looking for a good car seat and chose this one after a lot of research. It has a lot of the features that i like and best of all my daughter can grow with it. because of this the price wasnt an issue.

I searched and read a TON of reviews before I decided on this car seat. My neighbor and my sister loved the Titan, but that seat was way too complicated just to get my child buckled. Plus, the cup holder on the Titan is terrible. I LOVE the Alpha Omega Elite, and my son loves it too. He's been sitting in it since he was 6 months old. It's comfortable for him and it's so easy for me to adjust anything. He just turned 1, but we are going to wait to turn him around. You do have to use cut up pool noodles to get the seat to recline in the rear facing position. The only down side I see with this car seat is the fabric. First of all, I wish I could have found the one that Wal-Mart shows a picture of. It's not in any of the stores I visited. The car seat I have is not cloth, so it has frayed a little at the lower buckle and where my son's shoes rub against it. That really is my only complaint about this seat. I love it, because it will grow with him until he is at least 4. GREAT SEAT! Try to find a cloth one though.

I got this product when my son was around nine months. It was great and looked comfortable but is bulky and heavy so it is a hassle to move from car to car. However, my toddler is pretty big for his age. (just turned two and 35.5 inches 32 pounds.) so sometimes it was difficult to strap him in or he would be strapped in really tight even though I had tried to make sure the straps were more lose. so i had to purchase a five strap/high back booster seat. Good seat for smaller kids, not so great for my future ball player.

The set up was a bit confusing and somewhat difficult, but I was able to get it done. The seat is also very bulky, at least in the rear-facing position, so it pushes up against the back of the front seats, and it doesn't recline enough in that position, even with towels underneath. Still, it's a great value and I won't ever have to buy another one! I would definitely recommend it!!!

My daughter loves this car seat, as soon as we got it out of the box my daughter climbed right into it and smiled as she knew this was her new seat. She was so comfortable, then we reclined it and she sat in it criss-cross her feet put her hands behind her head and was so relaxed, smiling the whole time. Not once has she cried to get into her seat. I wish I bought this the first time. She just turned 1 years old.

I bought this car seat after having a friend recommend it. My son has only been in it for a month, but so far he loves it. The most useful thing is the ease of adjusting the straps each time I put him in. It is now winter and the bulk of his clothing is constantly changing and it is so easy to tighten or loosen the straps as needed.
So far the only complaint I have is because it is so tall (to be used later for a booster seat) it was difficult to install rear-facing in my Nissan Maxima. The front seat had to be pulled all the way forward for it to fit properly. Since my son was only a few weeks shy of his 1st birthday and well over the weight limit for forward facing, we turned him around early.
We took him on a 9 hour car trip and he did wonderfully. His head was well supported when he slept and he had enough "wriggle room" when he was awake to play.

I purchased this carseat for my 6 mo. old son because he outgrew the carrier. The first day we opened it, he sat in it for at least a half an hour and watched us and played! HE LOVES IT! He loves being able to see out the windows when driving down the road. The only thing I dont like is that it doesnt recline as much as I wish while in the backseat.

I actually bought this at Target for $170 and think it is worth every penny. I would have to agree with everyone and say that it is not very stable when rear facing. It does however work awesome front facing and my daughter loves sitting in it. It holds her well and has a great cup holder on the side for her drink. It also has the system to allow it to tilt at different angles, which is great when they are trying to get used to sitting straight up in a new seat. I am so glad I didn't go with a cheap car seat or even a more expensive one. I do not have the clips in my car and this is still very sturdy and stable. Would recommend to EVERYONE!!!! My sister even went and bought one shortly after for her little one.

I really like this seat. We've been using it for almost a year now and we really enjoy it. It's not too bulky when facing forward, and it's sturdy. The only complaint I have is about the fabric.. it isn't vinyl as the picture would lead you to believe, it's actually a fabric material and it kind of snags in the seat area, but other than that, it's a great seat.

I have twins and they love their seats! They seem comfortable and very durable. I have had these seats for 6 months now. I switched my boys from a carrier to their big boy seats when they were 6 months old. I am very pleased with this car seat. Would recommend to anyone. I researched this seat before buying and this was the best out there for the price I was willing to pay. Yes, it was a little difficult to get it installed into the car tightly, but aren't all car seats! It just assures me that my boys are safe.

My son grew out of his infant carseat rather quickly so i went out and bought this one at a baby's r us. I LOVE IT! It was very hard to put together but once I got it together it was great, my son loves it. I put my son in a different carseat while we were in a friends vehicle and I immediately noticed the difference in his attitude toward carseats! I'm happy I bought this one, it was worth the money. It is bulky when you have to rear face but after they grow out of that, it's fine.

When our oldest (now 5 1/2) grew out of his infant seat we purchased this same brand/name carseat (in 2001). It's in my mother-in-law's car for my second son to use when they're with her. So now, with our 3rd we needed another one for our car (minivan). We liked the other one so much we got it again (updated and more features now that it is 6 years later, of course). We actually had the most difficult time setting it up (almost 2 hours) and we've done this several times before with other seats. We could not tighten the strap that attaches the seat to the seat clips once they were clipped on; we had to unclip and clip it several times to get it tight. Also, when it was rear-facing it wasn't sturdy or stable. And it doesn't recline back far enough in the rear-facing postion. We ended up having to put it forward facing- good thing my son is big for his age and can be forward-facing now. Other than the set-up we still like the seat.

I bought this for my 5 month old son. He is a big baby and quickly grew out of the 1st car seat we bought. While waiting to put it in the car we had it on the floor in our living room, he would love to sit in it and watch his dad play playstation. Overall we really like it and he seems very comfortable in it. The one thing I was disappointed in was the look of the seat, online is deceiving, it looks more like a vinyl but it is a cloth material.
