Comments about The First Years True Fit Convertible Car Seat Butterfly:
I bought the older model for my first daughter about two years ago. I loved the seat and had to get another for my other daughter. It is very easy to install in my car and very easy to buckle the kids in. My oldest daughter loves the cup holder feature so she can easily reach her drinks. Overall I love the car seat and for the price it is perfect.
ABSOLUTLEY ECSTATIC!! WONDERFUL BUY!!

I just got this for my daughter (today) and have to say it exceeded my expectations! I was not to sure if it was the same as the C630 model that is for sale at ToysRUs (for more) and it is! The LATCH system is WONDERFUL!! We had her in an Eddy Bauer travel system and it moved around like crazy! I felt SO uncomfortable having her in it!! This car seat is in rear-facing position and does not move an INCH! I am ecstatic! I feel like my little baby girl is SO safe in her new car seat and I love it that the same safety features are there for when we make it forward facing for her.
Not to mention that I drive a Dodge Quad Cab truck and was a bit worried it would hit my font seat worse than other one did (which made it a bit uncomfortable on long drives) and this ones does not! I have more room now!
Lastly, she is happy in it! She can play with her feet and now they have room to stretch out! Well, really there is just room all around!!
I tell yeah this seat it fool proof and SO easy to put in once you understand how the LATCH system works! I investigated for months, trying to find the best for my money, and this was it... its VERY safe and not at a bad price!
A GREAT BUY!!! VERY HAPPY WITH IT!!! :)
Excellent Product!

I researched this carseat for a while before buying it. All the consumer reports rated this carseat high, and it is awesome! The carseat was easy to install (just as easy as any other carseat), especially with the seat belt clamp built in. Easy to adjust, without having to remove the car seat. My 3 year old sits comfortably in it and can use it for a long while longer. May buy another for my 1 yr old!

one of the few convertibles that I have found that is actually small enough to hold a newborn. It was a little difficult to install but now that we have in in properly it is definitely the sturdiest car seat that we own. MAke sure to get installation checked by a professional car seat inspector, but definitely the best buy for convertible seats I have found.

Useless while rear-facing

Comments about The First Years True Fit Convertible Car Seat Butterfly:
It is literally impossible to adjust the straps while in the rear-facing position because of the location of the button and strap. It's so far down you can't reach it unless you unhook the carseat, adjust the strap and then fasten the seat back into place in your vehicle. MAJOR design flaw. I'm sure it's a great seat for forward-facing but I won't be able to find out due to this design flaw and having to return it. BIG disappointment.

So I did alot of re-search on what convertible carseat i wanted to get and that she can grow into, and found this one I liked the comfyness of it and more of all the very good reviews it got and its one of the best car seats out there, its prety good for the price too. It got alot of good reviews from professionals and from moms. But everyone kept saying how big and bulky it is!! but in reality it isnt that big really at all, i think its a good size not unless your a first time mom and you really dont know what to expect but I have two kids and once I seeing it its not bad. I drive a Jeep liberty and both carseats fit just fine in the back seat. It was prety easy to install too but make sure you read the directions first!! Overall I love the carseat and its very comfy and has good space for bigger kids!

We have a large 7-month old baby girl- 27" & 22+ lbs, and she QUICKLY outgrew her infant carseat. When researching carseats my mom was adamant about needing a Britax, but when I found that this carseat outranks the Britax and is about half the price we decided to try this one out. Setup of rear-facing is difficult, but I expected that. However, if your car is newer the hooks all meet up perfectly and forward facing is not difficult. Overall, I absolutely love this carseat, and would definately reccomend it!!! Our daughter loves being up higher and being able to see more of the world, and always looks very comfortable!

so far this seat seams very safe. its a bit big and we couldn't use the cup holder. ( we have a traverse and flip the middle bench seat up frequently and the cup holder would catch) my 15 mnth old daughter loves her new seat. she's so happy to be turned around like her brother and sister.

This is the best car seat ever. I use it forward facing. Very easy to install and the padding comes off for easy cleaning. My daughter (who is 1) falls asleep in it all the time. She seems very comfortable. The cup holder is a big plus. I have been looking for a car seat for a little while now and had a few others in mind but I am so glad I got this one. It is definatley worth the money!

I love this print and the saftey ratings. However my daughter is 8 months old now and I had to remove the pad because she is too big. When the pad is removed her head flops forward when she falls asleep because the pad behind her head sticks out too much. Also the insert pad that goes behind the head is too small to keep her head from moving. All that to say I think they need to redo the pads.

With our previous child, we had opportunity to try out quite a few car seats, and this one, BY FAR, was the best. So when our daughter outgrew her infant car seat, there really was no consideration.

This seat's just the best in all departments. Great value for the money (especially since it stays with you until your child no longer needs a car-seat/booster).
Everything's easy to use/adjust/etc. Pretty easy to install (only reason I didn't give it 5 stars in this dept is cause ALL car seats are kinda tricky/involved. But compared to others, this one was much easier.).
My only complaint with this product is the lack of colors in stock. I guess that's a testiment to the demand for this product. But if people are willing to buy them, I really feal the company should simply make MORE. It was pretty hard to find this seat in any femine patterns.
Plain and simple, get this seat, you will NOT be disappointed.

I bought 2 of these (butterfly for my 3 year old daughter, and Aurora for my 9 mo old son). Right when they arrived I took them out & at first was scared of the size, they are really big. We drive a Toyota Rav and once they were both in, there is really no middle seat- so keep that in mind with small cars. We took a 3 hour trip and my son slept most of the way- looking so very comfortable! The fabric is nice & seems durable so far. Cup holders are nice & so is the head support. With my daughter I just brought her small pillow & propped her head against the head support once she fell asleep, and her head stayed upright for her whole nap(comparing to her old VERY upright seat). I would reccomend this seat to someone in need of a convertable carseat!

I bought this product because my child is only 17 months old and she's in the 98% percentile for her height & weight. She's already 32 inches in height and 30lbs. She was out of a RF car seat by 9months of age. This seat is nice and plush and she seems more comfortable in it. It's affordable and it'll last till she's in a booster seat.
Great choice

I purchased this for my 9-month old daughter who was outgrowing her infant seat. I purchased this seat based on reviews and of course, the girly look. She will fit in this seat for a long time. I was worried that she might outgrow it in height before she reached the weight limit, but shouldn't have worried. I looked at a lot of seats before settling on this one. This seat has A LOT of padding. It is also suitable for a newborn because of all of the padding that is included. If they would have had this seat 18 years ago for my oldest daughter, she would have had one too.

This seat is AMAZING.... I went weeks trying to find the best carseat and I tell you, this is it! One the print is to die for for a baby girl! So cute! Its very comfortable. My daughter who is 8 months LOVES it. She's very tiny, and still fit in a car carrier however I wanted her in something safer! We had a Britax for our son and loved it, but I think I already LOVE this seat more. It was a little tricky to install correctly, but not bad at all. Its a monster car seat as my husband calls it, and It is very big, but well worth it. it has great padding and comfort, i love the high sides. we put our 4 yr old in it just to see how well he fit and he said it was the most comfortable set he has ever sat in. This definitely the last carseat we will ever need!

I'm a huge carseat advocate especially when it comes to extended rear facing and extended 5 pt harnessing. But due to my daughter being in the 97th% for her height I had to find a seat that had the highest max height that I could find. Which this one has. It goes a whole inch above even the Britax seats(which I LOVE the britax seats). This seat is great! Definitely worth the buy! Very soft, love the deep sides, the crotch buckle adjusts, cute pattern, easy to adjust harness height. However the pull strap to adjust how tight the harness is is kinda tricky to get to in the rear facing position but not bad. I was kind of afraid that I would like this seat as much as the britax seats but I LOVE it and so does my daughter!
