I dunno about that belt tightener jobby. It looks pretty Mighty-Titish to me.
The rachet device is very mighty-titeish but the smiley face on the electronic feedback display will lite up when it's "tight enough". If Summer Infant wants to make it idiot proof then they'd do the smart thing and make a frowny face appear when it's substantially over-tightened. Or at least make the smiley face disappear if someone gets carried away.
Other than the potential for seriously over-tightening the webbing (to the point of damaging the seatbelt or LATCH belt) it seemed like a cool infant seat with some really innovative features. It also has that SafeGuard harness technology from their ambulance seat (I can't remember its name) where you pull the harness adjuster strap and the harness height automatically lowers to the tops of the child's shoulders. But the stroller that it will come with initially is very Graco MetroLite-ish, IIRC.
From what I remember, it works very similar to the mighty-tite. It does not feed the excess webbing back into the vehicle's retractor (I think that was the word you were looking for?). It stores the excess webbing on a spool (is that the word I'm looking for? ~ not sure) inside the base.

it's definitely an infant seat... don't know why they would call it a convertible seat... I'd contact parenting.com's customer support and complain about that.
