cosco eddie bauer infant seat

What do you all think of the cosco eddie bauer infant car seat my friend just bought one it came with a stroller, she bought it at odd lots, so i was just wondering about it....what suprised me was the buckle part that goes between the legs is PLASTIC they fit together and then into the bucket part....is that safe to have plastic buckles???? thanks!

Do you know which one it is?

Some of the Eddie Bauer/Cosco infant seats have been EXTREMELY difficult (if not impossible) to install.

About the plastic buckle-- it depends on the type of plastic. It must have passed the federal regs to be on the market. I don't have any data to support whether the plastic or metal buckles are safer and at which speeds they pass, etc. I don't know. Sorry!

Hi, we owned one (eddie bower deluxe travel system). It was an okay seat, it got us through the first year

But the plastic pieces in between the legs were a major pain, especially if our little girl was wearing bulkier clothes. It was very hard to hold them together long enough to insert them into the buckle.
If I would have know about this site then & done research, we would have definitely gone with something else. But being a first time Mom, I thought that all/most infant seats were like that. But with the seat we have now, I couldn't have been more wrong

Sorry, I couldn't be more help in providing safety data. But I thought I would pass on my opinion about the seat's buckle.

I had one for my first baby and really liked it, mine was the designer 22 but they're all the same if they're made my cosco/safety 1st. I didn't have alot of experience with infant seats when I bought mine but I still like it alot better then alot of other ones I've tried.

Actually, they are not all the same.

There is the Eddie Bauer (Dorel/Cosco/Safety 1st) Comfort Caress Infant carseat. This seat is incredibly difficult to use. The base is next to impossible to install, IMHO.

The Eddie Bauer Designer infant carseat is very different from the Comfort Caress.

Ohh, its the new one with the weird base? I haven't had any experience with those, just the older type bases. I didn't know they sold the new ones at odd lots, I've only seen the older type ones there. Guess that means I'm going to have to make a trip out there if they've got some new stuff in.

You may be right. I'm not sure what they sell at Odd Lots. I just wanted to point out that there could possibly be a difference. The Caress is a huge pain to use.

The OP didn't say which type it was, so I don't know. You could be right that it is the older type. ??? I'm not sure. ???
