$ Safety 1st Uptown Convertible Car Seat

I bought this seat for use in my very small backseat. I needed something to fit rear-facing until my daughter was over 2 years old and this seat easily installed both rear-facing and forward-facing in my Jetta. My daughter is now 3.5 and we are on the top slot (forward facing) and only now considering another seat due to height.



Pros:

1. Easy installation;

2. Easily removable seat cover;

3. Light weight so easy to remove/use for travel;

4. Fits easily in commercial airline seats;

5. High top slot fits kids longer;

6. Great price.



Cons:

1. It is a bit narrow (which was good for me with a small back seat and a slender kiddo) but might not be comfortable for all kids;

2. The crotch strap always slides under my daughters butt (not sure if this is a seat-specific problem because it also happens in our Marathon but is more effort to retreive on this seat.



Overall, we've been very happy with this seat and have used for almost 3 years without problems. I would recomend to anyone who wants to keep their little one rear-facing longer than 12 months and 20lbs recomendation (and I also encourage parents to research why they might want to rear-face their kids longer).
