Verdict on the S4M :(

I tried the Headwise in Target last week and I had a hard time even getting it buckled. its like it has to be at just the right angle.

Yeah, had that problem with a Snugride 30. I was showing someone how the puzzle buckle on the Baby Trend was tricky, then went to show how the SR was 'so much easier!' and then it took all this effort to get it buckled, the girl was very confused

I think I was wrong. Temperature may be part of the problem. Now that it been sitting in my house for a couple of nights the buckle is working better. Its still not like the maestro buckle I have but it is more easily doable. This is so weird.

wonder if the angle of person unbuckling to seat is anything? We drive an old corolla station wagon, so my kids are much lower that say an suv or van? Buckle is not the most easy thing, but its pretty fine, if these were going to be our main seats I would be possibly more bummed, but I am planning on moving them to back up status. The more i use the seats the more i like them!!!!
