Graco Toddler SafeSeat Step 2 - Maxwelllove the car seat, not so great with the shipping
I absolutely love this car seat. I had this one already in the Graco G fabric from Babies R Us, and wanted a second one for my husbands truck. I was going to just buy a cheaper seat for the second vehicle, but I am just to spoiled by my first one that I just had to have another. I had a gift card for Amazon so I decided to go ahead and use it to buy the other one. The fabric on this car seat is very nice and we just love the reclining option. It is so easy that you can do it from the drivers seat when they decide to doze in the middle of a trip(be sure to be at a red light or at a stop before reclining, lol). For the money it is the best seat out there. I have looked at many seats and had my daughter in them all in the store trying them out until I found this one. She never really complains about being in the car seat and she falls asleep almost instantly when we go for a ride in it. The seat alone is a definite 5 out of 5. The reason I give the seat a 4 out of 5 is for the shipping alone. The only thing bad that I can say about ording it online is that no matter whom you order it from, the original box is what it gets shipped in. It is not really the kind of box that can handle a beating in the mail. When I got the seat, it was scratched abit on the base, but nothing that would be damaging to the safty of the seat itself. The box on the other hand looked like it had just fought a war, but the seat itself was fine. If anything, you just return it and have them ship you a new one. Although a hassle, I think the seat is very much worth it.
