I think that was my second choice but since my baby is due in April and it will be used mostly in the summer I chose this one due to the fact I'm in texas and everything dark gets hot.. plus the adjustable base. my seats sit back just enough to make a rear facing tilt back

oh sorry guess i never thought of having one that adjusts, i dont have bucket seats and baby will only be riding with me so thats nothing for me to worry about and the baby trend is actually pretty cushioned and has a great head support pad. what carseat did u choose?

the only differences are when your talking about cushion for baby and ease of use and there are safety features that aren't on all of them.. your not supposed to add anything to carseats thay didn't come with them. it voids all warranties and could put the child in harms way. I chose a car seat with efficient padding for baby and a base that adjusts to bucket seas to that the carseat sits level and secure in the vehicle.. 0lus it comes with a stroller that also allowed for the carseat to attach to it... I'm not skimping out on a carseat for my child. as much as the cheap ones are safe they don't have near the safety features... I'm not willing to take any chances.. I've seen some horrible wrecks and I can say that the more people have spend on appropriate carseats the least damage was done to baby.. had a friend that bought this same seat and she accident slipped and fell down her apartment stairs baby was in the seat at the time not a scratch on him die to the fact he was secured properly.. no whiplash because of improper padding. @live.laugh.love

expensive carseats are no different then cheap ones, there all tested and approved before being sold. I used baby trend with my first and loved it and i got ths combo on black friday for $100 for this baby
