I picked this car seat because we didn't find out if we were having a boy or girl, I wanted to be able to use it with future children, regardless of gender, and I don't like cutesy prints. We have used it with our son for 2.5 months now and we're very happy with our purchase. I love the color and print of the car seat, and it is VERY easy to install, use, switch to another car, unhook from the base to carry, put back in the base, as well as tighten or loosen the straps. We really like the full canopy, which protects the baby from sun and wind. The only thing I can say against it, is that the cushion doesn't seem thick enough, and when moving the straps I can see the styrofoam behind the cushion. Our son hasn't had any accidents, spit up, or spilled any drinks in it yet, so I can't say how it cleans up, but overall we're very happy with the purchase.
