I have it for my son who will be two next month, he's been using it about a year. Before I used a regular infant only car seat. It's kind of heavy but if you keep it in one car or don't mind carrying it it's fine. I'm a small person so I have to have someone else lug it around for me lol. I love it though, really sturdy, great padding, comfortable, my son loves it, he always falls asleep in it and he loves that he can put his bottles in the holders. In my opinion it's really safe.
Great car seat worth the money! My son has it good investment!
