I know people say it doesn't work well for most children. What sizes of kids are you talking about here? At first I thought S was a fluke when it fit her well (before outgrowing it, about 60 lbs and 4'6"). Then I thought maybe Z was another fluke and her and S were just built the same way when I tried her the other day (stats in signature). Z fit better in it than in the Turbo in my opinion. But yesterday I drove another girl who is about 4' and 50 or so pounds and she fit well, too. Is it my car maybe? I have yet to put a child in it who doesn't fit well.
