My daughter was getting to big for her infant seat sooner then I expected. I shopped around for a cheap " big girl " seat for her. Most of the ones I had seen priced above my budget. I found this one at Amazon, and loved the color and design. Its not very expensive, Its lightweight. Easy to move. And my daughter can fall asleep in it without hurting her neck. I love that this comes with extra wide sides so the child can lean against it like a pillow. This is a musthave for any little princess in your life!

Honest reviews on Cosco Juvenile APR 40RF Convertible Car Seat

I own a couple of Britax roundabout 50/55, a Britax marathon, a graco snugride 65, and a britax infant carseat.

First off, the Cosco does seem like it's a flimsy construction, the keyword being 'seem.' The latches are like metal clips, like the snugride, whereas the britax have a clickie system (kinda reminds me of a seatbelt.) The construction of the seat is a bit more flexible than the Britax (Britax's construction is bit stiffer, so if you want a stiffer car seat to feel safer, maybe the Britax is a better choice.) The feel of the cosco is not soft but not hard either, reminds me of the infant car seats. The britax (marathon/roundabouts)has a little bit more padding but my daughter (13months) would sit in the britax and cry cry cry but when she sits in the Cosco, she would fall right to sleep and actually enjoys the car ride.

One of the flow with the Cosco is that you can't adjust the seat's recline like the Britax. However, we wedged a couple pieces of cardboard to set the recline and it seems to be working just fine. We pulled and tugged on the Cosco after we finished adjusting and tightening it, and it would budge a little bit but not as other reviewers describe. i think if we used a towel instead of cardboard, it would have eliminated the wiggling. The britax in comparison doesn't even budge.

Overall, this seat is a GREAT value and is pretty decent for the price. I have no complaints so far. I would recommend this to friends who are looking for a good car seat but doesn't want to spend $200+ dollars on a car seat. I'm going to switch my 2year old to the Cosco car seat (she's in the roundabout right now) since it has cupholders!!!

We bought this for our 9 month old daughter as a backup car seat. We have the Graco MyRide 65 permanently in our everyday car and wanted something similar but cheaper for other vehicles. It's a similar style to the MyRide with dual cup holders and size. It's much lighter with much less padding but for trips that aren't hours long it shouldn't be uncomfortable. The seat is quick and easy to install as well as remove from the multiple other vehicles we've had it in but stays very secure. Would definitely recommend!

Review of Flying Falcon Infant Car Seat Carrier

Customer Ratings:

I'm using this with a Safety 1st Onboard 35. The basic concept is pretty good... but this really does not work with a larger car seat. Don't know how it would be with a smaller one, but for a 35 pound capacity bucket seat, it's downright unsafe. Once, when I did not have a good grip on the seat itself, it pivoted, and if my baby hadn't been strapped in he would have been on the ground.

As it is, it merely provides a little bit of weight distribution, not the hands-free capability I am used to from the Stay In View I used with my older child. That carseat had an integrated foot-to-head strap and no hard handle at all (much preferable.)

This strap tends to slip and turn and move, cannot be fixed with the strap in one position on my car seat. Because of how my car seat is designed, if I position the straps the way they are in the picture, the whole thing is "top heavy" and will pivot toward the baby's head, which is worse than useless. And the straps are not stable at the top of the carrier, nor can I put them on the inside of the handle, which might make things more secure. I can't tighten or lengthen the horizontal strap across the top, and it's either too big or not big enough for stability.

It is marginally better than carrying the thing by the handle alone, but mostly the only time I use it is to get the carseat into and out of the car at home. It makes a decent strap for the empty carseat, but requires too much attention to be really useful for hauling the baby.

I felt as though this was one of the most useful baby gear items I purchased when I had my first. He was a big baby and I always had my arms full of things work bag, purse, diaper bag, pump bag, etc. and freeing up both hands to be able to safely get out the door was a huge help. I also developed tendonitis in my wrist from carrying the carrier but this helped to resolve that problem.

I did like using slings and wraps also but for transport from car to indoors this was easy to not have to unbuckle baby, wrap baby, etc in a parking lot (in the middle of winter).

Now we are expecting #2 and I'll have a toddler to hold hands with and all the same bags. Ideally, I could use an extra set of hands but in the meantime, the flying falcon will have to do.

Seriously love this thing.

To much trouble to install. Don't like it pulling me down. Felt like I would fall over.

Honest reviews on Flying Falcon Infant Car Seat Carrier

I have had two children and used this item for both. At one time I was in the airport carrying my son on my sholuders, my daugher slung in the carrier with the strap and holding a drink and my travel items and made it to gate with little fuss. I give this to all my friends and family that are expecting. However most don't seem to use it because it requires some effort to put on, and maybe people don't want to stick something on the carrier. It really is great and would save mom and dads a lot of grief if they would just use it.

First of all let's use some common sense here. This product is not intended for you to go strolling around with the damn car seat at your side, that's just silly.

Second, DISREGARD comments or opinions from those that don't have this or even use it. Their opinions should carry zero weight, would you take their advice on food to eat which they themselves don't eat?

Third, those that say just take them out and put them in a sling obviously have babies which never wake up and start crying when disturbed. These are the kind of people that probably let their kids scream and cry everywhere and think you should also enjoy their kids too.

I have four kids, 23, 18, 14 and 4 months so I'm not some newbie parent talking out of my arse. This is the first time I've had something like this and let me tell you it is EXTREMELY HANDY. I've been using this since the first month, just bought another car seat and have not transferred the strap to the new seat and what a PITA it is carrying the awkward car seat with your arm or hand compared to having it over my shoulder with two hands completely free. I just bought more velcro and will be transferring the strap tonight, the velcro is simply there to retain the cradle/strap in position, it is not for supporting the load.

It is great for short walks from the car to other people's houses, while visiting the doctor's office so you don't have to wheel around a stroller if you don't wish to, etc. It's not a replacement for a sling or baby Bjorn. I can carry heavy items so the weight is not an issue for me personally but I can see how it could seem a little heavy, my wife says it is a little weighty at times but the convenience is well worth it in her opinion as well. Select a quality lightweight car seat and it'll be that much lighter.

The usefulness of this item was quite a surprise. I wasn't sure how much I'd like it but after owning one for 4 months I am quite pleased and happy to recommend it. You can still carry the seat by the handle if you want but you generally won't after putting this on.

I just got a new 2005 Ford Freestyle with leather seats in place of my 2000 Ford Expedition with cloth seats. When I uninstalled my Britax Roundabout from the Expedition, there were obvious dents in the seat both from the base and the back of the car seat. I purchased this mat (in tan) for the new car to hopefully prevent these dents from happening with the leather seats. I can usually get my Roundabout to install very tightly and not even move AT ALL, let alone an inch. But with this mat, the base was sliding more than an inch. So I took the piece of non-skid shelf liner that the Fire Dept had given me a while ago, and which I had been using up until this point, and put it underneath the mat. That stopped all the sliding. I can already tell that the mat will prevent the dents. It seems to me the product manufacturers just need to add a non-skid layer to the bottom. But for now, the two layers together have gotten me back to a very tight installation with NO MOVEMENT WHATSOEVER! And I don't have to worry about scuffs and dents on the leather seats.

This protector does the job on preventing dents in leather seats.

Remember that these days any type of professional is afraid of a lawsuit, and do not want to use any type of aftermarket product that could interfere with their "professional" installation. That is why no one will approve these mats, or even cupholders on strollers anymore!!!

As a carseat safety fanatic, and being pretty educated on carseat installations I felt confident that I could make a decision if this was inhibiting a proper installation. I see no problems. To be sure the carseat is strapped in super tight, I sit in it as I pull the straps. It doesn't budge one centimeter left or right, or front to back.

This saver was easy to put in the car, and did not need to be adjusted a million times as I tightened in the carseat using LATCH & tether (we use the Britax Marathon). A previous saver bunched and made installation impossible, but this one is very thin, firm and stays put. The add on back was the perfect height, and did not block the tether strap in our F150. It also stayed upright as I put the carseat into place.

This blends in nicely with our black seats and looks good. It's available in three colors black, tan, and grey. Let's face it if you're interested in this product it's because you care how things will look long term!

This saver is a great combo of safety and function. While it may not perform perfectly with every single carseat/car combination if your seat is moving more than an inch in any direction it's not installed correctly whether you are using seat saver or not!

I have 4 of these seat savers in various colors (gray and tan no black). I have almost no complaints about these, they do their job. My only gripe is one that I have seen mentioned in other reviews here, and that is that the back section does not come up high enough....nowhere near as high as most carseats. As a result (depending on the carseat you use) there could be some marks left on the back of your seats.

As for the rest of my review, these seat savers do a great job. They are made of a semi hard rubber material and no matter what the base of your carseat is like, it will not damage or dent the bottom of your vehicle's seat surface. Many of the other brands are just fabric and foam and I feel like some carseats would press right through when anchored down tightly. Might as well use an old towel if that's the direction you are thinking about going in. An added benefit is these tend to catch a lot of dropped snacks and cereal and will contain anything spilled on them. That's a plus!

As for some of the complaints I have read here, anyone who says that their kids' carseats move around too much with these seat savers is simply NOT anchoring their carseats tightly enough. I have 4 of these seat savers and have used them in 3 different vehicles over the last 4 years and NONE of my carseats move. If you find your carseats moving around they are NOT tight enough....ask someone to help you tighten them. I have never seen any discoloration as a result of using these, though I have only used the tan and gray versions on tan, gray and black leather seats. I suppose it might be possible for the black seat savers to discolor a lighter color fabric or leather. I also saw a review that claimed the seat savers stick to leather and destroy the seats. I have never seen this happen in 4 years, though if I had to guess based on my experience, a child probably spilled some juice on the seat and it eventually "glued" the seat saver to the seats. My advice....clean up spills quickly and clean underneath your kids' carseats regularly and you will be fine!

Honest reviews on Prince Lionheart 2 Stage Seatsaver

I went to BRU to try and purchase the all rubber Lionheart seat protector and they didn't have it. I was pretty much dead set against this one because of the "professionals" review. Well, (with help from the guy from BRU, we took this one out of the package and pulled my car seat off of the display. We then tried it out on the seat that they have available at BRU for just such tests. It was fine. I just installed it in my vehicle (Envoy XL) it doesn't have the largest seats in the world and this fit just fine. No, it didn't completely cover the back of the seat, but it wasn't made to. Most indentations occur on the seat bottom and the mid section of the seat. This covers all of that just fine. I don't know why the "professional" says that this protector is too thick...it isn't thick at all. Go to BRU and have one of their friendly folks do a demonstration. I give it 2 thumbs up!

I was a bit surprised to remove the seat protector after about a year and discover that it had damaged small patches of the leather seat under it. It appears that the non-slip coating on the bottom adhered to the leather, and when I pulled it off it took some of the leather dye with it. If it matters to anyone this was in an '04 BMW 330 with leather (not leatherette).

Unfortunately I can't recommend this product because it didn't do the one thing that it was supposed to.

For reference I have a car seat installed in my other car without the seat protector, and the car seat has not caused any damage at all. I wish I hadn't bothered with this.

If you are going to use it with leather my recommendations would be a) put a nice coat of leather conditioner on the seat, and remove the seat protector every so often and reapply the conditioner or b) put a thin soft cloth underneath to create a barrier between the seat and the nonstick layer (although this may cause the car seat to slip about).
