Customer Reviews of Eddie Bauer - Infant Car Seat with LATCH - Gridlock Charcoal

Some good and bad points
This seat has some good points, but some major problems. It is bigger and therefore you can use it longer than many infant seats (we also have a Graco that is much smaller). It is very secure in the car and the fabric is easy to clean. HOWEVER, it's very heavy, the handle is extremely hard to move and always wakes the baby with a very loud snap. But the biggest problem is the straps. What a poor design. Adjusting the straps is near impossible and the configuration is not easy to get baby in and out of. Our straps get folded and twisted constantly and one side always seems too tight and one side is too loose. I only have about 3 more months of this seat and I'm counting down to put it away. I do like the matching stroller, it is lightweight and folds easily and has a nice smooth ride. Clearly, different engineers worked on these products.

new mom
We recieved this as a gift at our baby shower and i was worried. I had done a lot of research on all kinds of car seats/ travel systems. And decided not to register for one so that we could buy the one we wanted. I read all the reviews on this seat that i could find and was quite disappointed, but i decided to give it a try any way. Let me just say that i am glad that we did. We love this seat, we also bought the matching stroller that can be used with it to make it a travel system. Sure it is a little bigger than most other carseats, but i have a small Nissan Sentra and the seat fits just fine. Not in the middle though. I love all the saftey and comfort features that this seat offers. My husband loves the handle for carrying. And it isn't that much heavier than other brands. The stoller is also wonderful. It does take up a lot of room in the trunk of our small car, but then i think any stoller probably would. I'm glad this was given to me as a gift, because i would have probably ended up with something that I would have been disappointed in. Definitly would recommend to others out there.

Too Heavy
We like the material as it is easy to wash, but it gets very hot. It is easy to take off the base, but this is a very heavy car seat to carry and the handle is hard to push up and down. The hood is also akward and gets in the way when it's down.
