From the Manufacturer
This Baby Trend car seat is from the collection Mesa, a warm palate of a chocolate brown and a neutral beige accented with a vibrant orange. Parents can be rest assured of their child's safety with the 5-point safety harness, easy one-hand harness adjustment and a convenient push button release. Your infants comfort is aided by the 4-position push-button height adjustable base that includes a level indicator to insure proper installation. The one-hand easy-access seat release makes transferring to another car quick and efficient and the smooth carrying handle makes this car seat easy to handle. Other safety features that make this the top rated infant car seat is the EPS energy-absorbing foam for superior side impact head protection. Infants can enjoy a soft head support and for those chilly days have a boot to provide extra warmth and comfort. This car seat is for weights between 5 and 22 pounds, heights of 28.5" or less and features the flex-loc which references the base's flexible latch straps.

Customer Reviews
I don't generally write reviews but wanted to praise Baby Trend on the design of this car seat. We were directed to it after the January 07 Consumer Reports review showing this as one of only two infant car seats to pass their more stringent crash tests (TV news showed alarming video of various car seats flying around the passenger compartment after being struck by a vehicle).
Compared to our still-new Safety 1st seat, this one is so much better engineered in a number of ways:
1) The base is super easy to install. Click twice into each of the car's two anchor points, then tug on each of the two straps to tighten the base. That's it. Our old seat had paragraphs of confusing directions that didn't leave me as confident as this one.
2) The base has an easily adjustable tilting mechanism and leveling indicator to insure you get the right angle for the baby's head (no flopping). Our old seat had no such system - we used rolled-up towels.
3) The seat has a dial to quickly adjust the seat height as the baby grows. No such system on our old seat.
4) The handle has an ergonomic triangle shape on top for more secure grasp when reaching into the car from the left or right.
5) If the base is not available, the seat can be strapped directly into a car using the car's lap belt.
6) The seat is overall more narrow than our old seat, allowing our two other kids to fit in the back seat with a little more breathing room. Every inch helps.
7) The seat is lighter than our old seat, although it feels just as secure and solid as the old one.
All this, and the seat is the same price as our old one. Unfortunately Amazon/Target was sold out when the Consumer Reports issue came out, but I found them in stock online at Wally World, if you are looking to get one quickly. The one for sale here is a better color combo than Wally's, unless you like lime green - but the seats themselves are all the same superb design.
Summary: super easy to install and adjust, well thought-out features, fair price! Makes me want to have more kids just to buy more of these :)
I have a 12 week old and in that short time, the mechanism that allows the handle to rotate forward and back (carrying position to "in the car" position) has failed. Since the product is under warranty I called Baby Trend and they would only help me if I sent the car seat back to them for repair. Obviously, if I do that, I will have no means of transportation for my baby. I would need to buy a new car seat, which defeats the purpose of having it repaired! I spoke with the head of the customer service department who refused to send a replacement. I do not advise buying this or any other Baby Trend product that you cannot afford to lose for a few weeks to have repaired.
