We have it and Erica loves it. Its easy to put in, reclines easily, and is well padded. She seems really comfortable and almost every time we get in the car she falls asleep, much unlike her old Graco infant seat. Just so you know, you might be able to find brand new ones on ebay for a good deal. Ours was NIB and we only paid $160 with free shipping. As opposed to over $200 + shipping from Babies R Us. (They dont carry the black in stores so we couldn't go pick it up).
