Excellent product

Reviewer Comments: I am writing this for my elderly mother who has been using this for the past week. She lives alone and used to sleep on her recliner because she could not get in and out of bed. She now feels more independent because she can get in and out of bed with ease. She has home health care visit once a week and they have nothing but praise for this product.

Great inexpensive seat!

Reviewer Comments: This was purchased as a replacement after I had a rollover car crash and my child had NOT a scratch on him(the medic was impressed on how it was properly installed, and that is KEY with any carseat). This is our second Graco seat, and truly trust it. Do yourself a favor and go to an installation class, you will be glad you did if ever you are involved in an accident.

Others have complained about the straps not adjusting/fitting properly, I have never had an issue, and have moved/changed them several times. It is just as easy to adjust as our other much more expensive carseat for our other child!
I like how easy it is to clean and lightweight it is to take in/out of your car.
Not the best in padding, but my 4 year old never complains. It has lasted up from 18mo until now and is used everyday.

A very inexpensive way to save a life!

Reviewer Comments: I bought this unit in August 2005. It’s been dead weight in my pack until yesterday on Mt. San Antonio, California, when I came across a hiker that had fallen down a steep rocky slope and was in terrible condition. I activated the ACR Terrafix and left it with the injured hiker’s companions. We continued our hike to the summit. Two helicopters were involved in the rescue. They got the guy to the hospital, but I don’t know his condition. A sheriff’s deputy contacted me at home and said the ACR Terrafix probably saved the guy’s life. He said they received perfect longitude and latitude coordinates from the PLB, which is why I checked “Accurate.”

My family was contacted within minutes of PLB activation, since the PLB is registered in my name. Needless to say, this caused some anxiety for my family until I could contact them later to say I was OK.

I am utterly impressed with the PLB system and the efficiency of the people involved: Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, who received the satellite signal and relayed the message to an agency in Sacramento, California, who then contacted the sheriff’s search and rescue team in San Dimas, who extracted the hiker from difficult terrain. This device is a very cheap insurance policy. If the hiker’s friends mail it back to me, I will send it in for new batteries, and will never hit the trail without it.

I’m a believer

Reviewer Comments: I have lupus and the drugs for that and my organ failures had sent my liver functions so high the doctors were worried. I took 2 of these (1 pill twice a day) and the day after my liver test my doctor called shocked! My liver function levels were NORMAL for the first time in YEARS! This may not be for everyone, but it worked for me! This product is great for people who take lots of medications and want to help protect the liver or have a mild case of liver injury.

Saved my head

Reviewer Comments: This helmet saved me. I was going downhill (30-35 mph) around a corner when my front tire skidded out. I don’t remember, but as far as I can tell, my head hit first. The helmet microshell has 5 cracks in it, all I had was a headache, along with broken collarbone and rib, and multiple scrapes & bruises across my body. It would have been way worse without this helmet. Maybe the best thing is that my 15 year daughter started wearing her helmet without being told.

Safety concern be gone!

Reviewer Comments: If anyone is concerned about the safety of a car seat, this one will give you peace of mind. My 5 month old son and I were rear-ended at 75 mph (we were going 35 mph) by a drunk driver…in the middle of the day, no less! My car spun around and was also side-swiped on the passenger side where my son was strapped in, and we landed in a ditch (car was totaled). This car seat held my baby in tightly and securely…so much so that he escaped with very minor injuries (he had scrapes on his neck from the glass shards, but that had nothing to do with the car seat). This car seat saved my son’s life.

As to other features, I agree with the other reviews in that this seat is heavy and cumbersome. However, I gave it a 5-star rating for safety and design (easy to assemble). I’ve already recommended it to a friend of mine who is expecting her first child. In fact, we had to destroy the car seat that was in the accident (even though there was no visible damage), and we ordered this same seat again. Hopefully no one will have to put this seat to the test as I did; but, if safety is a concern of yours, this is the right car seat. :o)

May have saved my daughter’s life

Reviewer Comments: I’ve never written a review before but after my horrific experience last night, I felt compelled to. My friend recommended this product before I gave birth so I bought it and installed it a couple of months ago even though my then 2 month old wasn’t moving much. Well now she’s 4 1/2 months and in the last week she’s gotten quite active in her crib. So I did my usual check on her before going to bed last night and there she was, laying at just the right angle with her head turned in just the right way to where she had her face and nose up against the bumper. Even though I knew it was a breathable bumper, my blood ran cold. Thank God she was okay but had I not had this exact product on her crib, the outcome could have been much different. This product is a MUST HAVE, because although you think your baby could never end up in the position mine did, they can! Don’t take the chance, it’s WELL worth the money. Also, we have a sleigh crib and haven’t had any problems at all with installation, etc.

Crash Tested!!!!!

Reviewer Comments: My daughter had this car seat last year when I flipped my car. She didn’t move an inch and was not injured. I liked it so much I bought another one, and when my son gets bigger I will buy one for him too.
