First Years True Fit?

Does anyone have the First Years True Fit car seat?? I am thinking about getting this one for DH's car based on reviews, but I've never been able to see it in person. Anyone not like this car seat??

Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    We love ours. It fits her SO well. Granted, DD was a big baby, but we actually had to adjust it UP the first time we took her anywhere in it, so it would definitely fit a smaller baby. It's really easy to install and easy to adjust the shoulder straps.

     

    My only complaint is it's a bit of a pain to loosen and tighten the harness when getting her in and out while rear-facing.  I'm spoiled on the super-easy knob adjustment with my Evenflo.

    However it fits in DH's Honda Fit easily. No problem.

    We have it and am very happy with it. C came home at just over 6lbs and she fit in it very well then and is still happy in it (it's our only carseat). 

    I don't tighten/loosen the straps (I get them the right snugness and I keep them there to put it on/off) very much, which I think is the only negative review I've read about it.

    It's an excellent car seat. If you are worried about the loosening/tightening straps issues you can get the premiere version which has an anti-rebound bar. Because of the bar it's easier to get to the mechanism to tighten/loosen.

    I have it and love it. My son has been in it since he was 3 months old and he is now 18 months. We have it installed rearfacing with the headrest now in our Hyundai Elantra and there is still plenty of room in the front passenger seat. My son loves his seat too and there is never no issue putting him in it. I really cant say anything bad about it at all.

    I will be getting a second one for baby#2.

    Yeah, we don't loosen it too much. Although I have to make my husband help every time we do. We've been adjusting a lot recently, though, because she's grown so much.... and she's a  chunky baby. Probably why it's really on my mind.
