Safety 1st All in One Car Seat
Does anyone have the new baby bargains with this review in it? I have the 2011 and it's not in there...
Anyone have this particular model? They have this at Costco and my DH wants to possibly purchase it but I cannot until I see honest reviews. Thanks in advance!

Re: Safety 1st All in One Car Seat
Stay away. It is one of the shorter shell and lower weight limit convertible seats. By the time your child will be big enough for the booster part, your child will have outgrown the seat either by height or weight.
Worst Combination Booster Seats:
In this category, there were so many poor choices that I couldn?t narrow it down to just one. But they all came from a single parent company ? Dorel Juvenile Group. It?s not even worth my time to go into everything I dislike about each and every one of these seats. Suffice to say that they all meet the same criteria for my ?Worst? picks. The cons far outweigh any pros. None of these seats are better than average when used with the 5-pt harness (mostly due to low top harness slot heights and 40 lb weight maximums) and they generally do a very poor job of positioning the seatbelt properly on a child when used in booster mode. Also, with only one exception, the designs are all about 10 years old. Thankfully, there are much better choices currently available in this category.

Don't waste your money, you will have to replace it long before your lo is big enough to be out of a harness, and you won't really ever be able to use it as a booster, guaranteed. I had this seat for dd3 and she fully outgrew the seat height wise by age three. It was difficult to get a good install, the straps twisted over on themselves constantly, and unless you took the base off, it took more space up rf than my Radian does.
My list of dislikes about this seat is very long. I will tell you I absolutely regret not getting the Marathon like I originally planned, it was an extra $40 at the time and the dumbass saleslady talked me into the Eddie Bauer version. I did end up getting dd a Radian as a spare and a Frontier later on because of her height.
If you want a budget friendly convertible, look at the Graco MyRide.
