Jude is a little Houdini. Since he was about 15 months old he’s been able to get out of his old car seat. No matter how tight we adjusted the straps he still managed to get out. We’ve made our fair share of emergency stops along the interstate to put him back into his seat. And it’s not like we were using an old dated car seat, he got it for Christmas the year after he was born. Ultimately I think it was a design flaw, which makes me wonder about the overall safety of the old car seat to begin with.
So I was super excited to try out the new Safety 1st Complete Convertible Air Car Seat. We’ve been using the Complete Air for a little over a week now and he has yet to escape. Success! Not only does it keep him contained he no longer throws a fit when we try to put him in the car. I think it’s much more comfortable and probably much safer.
Installation and Use
Like most car seats today the Complete Air utilizes the LATCH system which makes installation a breeze. I really like the adjustable headrest which also adjusts the straps of the shoulder straps to the correct height. This ensures you have a good fit for your child. It did take me a little while to figure out how to tighten and loosen the straps but I really like that the straps are linked together so you don’t have to adjust one side at a time, you can simply even them out as needed. I think Jude likes the protective headrest which also makes taking a nap more comfortable and he likes the easily accessible cup holder.
