Safety 1st Grow Convertible Everest Reviews Summary

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "It has been taken apart and washed several times and hasn’t lost any of its coloration or durability."
• "I highly recommend my son loves looking out the window he felt like a big boy in this car seat .. material soft, easy to snap in!"
• "The car seat itself seems great. We needed an updated one for our 17 month old daughter and this fit the bill."
• "It made travel so much easier. I just threw it into a generic car seat backpack bag and made it through the airport with ease."

Cons:

• "The packaging, was not. The car seat was just loose inside a huge box with no bubble wrap, no packing of any kind around it."
• "There were a couple pills on the fabric of the headrest and a small stain on the fabric of the upper part of car seat itself and the plastic parts seem slightly scuffed."
• "Sometimes cheaper isn’t better. The car seat came in a plain brown box that was barely taped shut."
• "When my car seat was delivered it was left out in the rain. Now it’s in a cardboard box so the rain went through the box causing the car seat to be completely soaked."

Installation and Adjustability

Pros:

• "It’s not hard to assemble and the snap buttons help hold the covering into place."
• "Easy installation, as she and her husband were able to get it installed within minutes!"
• "The car seat is comfy, cozy, and safe. I did not have any issues with setup or securing the seat in the car."
• "It’s super comfortable and he likes is so much more than his old seat that wasn’t comfortable or padded like this car seat is. It was super easy to install."

Cons:

• "My only issue with this car seat is that it was really hard to install and get it right."
• "Have wrestled with this car seat for almost 4 years now and have had it! Straps twist and are not long enough."
• "This car seat flops all around -we’ve had to use a ratchet strap to attach it to the car seat."
• "Incredibly hard to tighten once the kid is in the seat. I have checked everything and when front facing you can’t pull strap to tighten the harness onto the kid."

Safety and Comfort

Pros:

• "My nephew loves this seat and I love the peace of mind that comes with using it."
• "We were in a pretty bad black ice accident, and our car flipped over twice landing on the hood. We had my three month old in this car seat and he came out unscathed and even was smiling afterward."
• "Was in a very scary accident hit by a large truck going 55+mph on my Lo door. My Lo was covered from head to toe in glass, I am extremely bruised and beat up but my daughter does not have a scratch or bruise on her!"
• "It’s very comfortable and my 16 month old likes it. Once installed properly I have peace of mind."

Cons:

• "Doesn’t recline enough for him to rest well. His neck looks like it is breaking."
• "It’s not a horrible seat but it’s cheap and you can tell. It serves its purpose but i want my child to be comfortable."
• "The harness was very difficult to get to under the seat. I have small hands and it felt impossible to remove and reinsert into splitter & it was painful."
• "The product is perfect as a very safe car seat. The only thing is because of the type of fabric (non-microbial) it is made out of it gets extremely hot."
