We love this car seat. I am not a very tall person and the seat makes it very easy to get my son in and out of our truck. Having the ability to spin the seat to take the him in or out is great. My son rides very nice and the seat has been great for his small size.
I will be using it again for our second child :-)
Best Seat for the Job!

This seat isn't for everyone, but for some of us, it's the ONLY one. This seat is the only way to do a rear-facing seat in a Honda Element. After my son outgrew the infant carrier (at 5 mos) We tried a Britax, but with the reversed doors on the Element, it is impossible to access a fixed rear facing seat without climbing across from the opposite side of the car. With this seat, you can face the seat forwards or towards the doors, buckle them in, and swing them around to the 'travel' position.
The swivel feature was also really handy when we rented a monster Toyota Sequoia 4wd on vacation. My 5'0" wife was able to get our son in to the seat no problem
The base is really big, so they sit up high enough to see out the windows. Actually, the base is so big, it makes it hard to use in smaller cars, like our Toyota Corolla, so this is best suited for SUV's or larger sedans. The metal LATCH hooks are nice and sturdy, but are hard to release.
That and the overall size of this seat make it harder to swap between cars than something, like a Britax Marathon (our other seat)
I have the Black/Green version of this seat, the cover material is like a spandex/neoprene, very easy to wipe clean.
We've just about outgrown this seat, (at 2-and-a-half) but I'm definitely going to save it for Baby #2.
I hate it, baby hates it!

It just doesn't fit my life style! Our car is small, and this car seat is huge, plus it's so heavy! My 2 month old seems uncomfty, he is too foward, not reclined enough for a newborn. Hopefully he'll grow into it and we won't have to buy another. he cries all the time while he's in it! i got it thinking that just because it was expensive, it was the best! I wish I would have gotten a cheaper one, at least my babe would be comfortable for his trips, good thing is I don't take him for a ride daily. Bottom line, yes it's stylish and it seems durable, but not worth the money!
Amazing car seat,

Being short, finding a carseat that was user friendly in the rear facing is almost impossible, UNTIL the Zeus.. It is very heavy, but easy to secure in my van. (I don't plan to move it in/out often). I'm very pleased with it and all it's features not just the 360 rotation
A BACK SAVER BUT IT'S HUGE

I bought this car seat because the chicco infant seat with my 18 lb, 4 month old son was quickly outgrowing it,not to mention it was a bear to lift with him in it. I have no complaints about the zeus, except it is huge and blocks my view out the back window. I have the seat in the middle and in my Hyundai Azera (the largest sedan Hyundai makes) you can't see around the seat. Forget using a mirror on the back seat because the seat is so huge you can't see. I have used a "rotating" mirror on the seat near the door and it works...kind of. Just something to keep in mind. I have no complaints about the seat otherwise. Quality and ease of use: Superb! The fact that I have to strain to see my son when driving...bummer. I think it might be my car, though. It might work better in an SUV or if it was in another spot in the back seat. I just don't like him close to the windows, but I might move him. We'll see.

I ordered this product for my 6 month old once she was outgrowing her infant seat. I was really excited about the ability to go from forward facing to rear facing without needing to take out the seat. We travel to visit our parents frequently & I wanted the ability to let her travel the safest way, rear-facing, when she was asleep. (Don't worry-I was waiting until she was 1 to use the forward facing feature.)
Unfortunately, once I got the carseat shipped to me, I read the instructions & realized that you would have to take the child out of the seat to adjust the seatbelt heights. The manual states that the shoulder belts should fall below the shoulder when rear-facing and above the shoulder when forward-facing. That doesn't help me mid-trip!
Also, the buckle is extremely hard for me to do. You have to hold the two pieces together to fit them into the buckle....not easy for me & my little hands....
The ability to snap her in as she faces me is nice (when I'm able to get the buckle to work), but worth the price? I don't know....
AWESOME! Best car seat ever INVENTED!

This carseat by far is the best! I shopped around did research and found the ZEUS, pricy yes.
I never saw the carseat in person it was just what I saw and read online, I ordered it and was anxious to see it. When I picked up the box my first though was heavy I took it out and said what a monster of a car seat, I did not have many other words to describe the Zeus.
Now I can say AMAZING, ASTONISHING,STURDY, STYLISH.
I LOVE IT. It is wonderful to just turn my baby to get him in and out of the SUV. Yes, I have an SUV and being 5'2" the ZEUS helps alot.
I get alot of compliments from other mother who see my the ZEUS when I take by son in/out and they ask me to see it and want to know what it's called and where to buy it.
Needless to say my son loves it.
