Sunday, March 20, 2011 The First Years True Fit Convertible Car Seat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have 2 C630s, have had them for over 1 year now. I just purchased the C670 because once again it is the highest rated convertible car seat on the NHTSA website: [...] I had to purchase this seat because two weeks ago we were rear ended, when the accident happened our first concern was out 19 month old son. I remember looking back at him, terrified and he was smiling watching a DVD, it is as if nothing happened to him. We got paramedics to check him out and they were impressed with his demeanor. I thank God for saving us all, but I also attribute his safety to the The First Years True Fit C630 he was sitting in. Due to insurance requirements we have to replace the car seat and it was a no-brainer for us to stick with this brand and model. Thank you First Years/Learning Curve for making a good product in this era of recalls and substandard materials.

I will give you an update in a few months when I have used it for a while.

Product Description:
The True Fit Rebound (model C670) is one of the newest additions to the True Fit Convertible Car Seat family. This seat delivers all of the standard features from our original True Fit with several new features. This seat features the standard no rethread easy to adjust harness. The harness is for use up to 65 lbs. in both rear and forward facing installations. Our easy off head rest and easy off pads are standard too. The C670 model features smaller bottom rails and the patented Rebound Energy Management^™ system--a flip up rebound bar that actually helps manage the rebound in the unlikely event of a crash. Pull the bar forward and it snaps in place with your rear facing installation and flip it back with you move to the forward facing installation. This seat is fully lined with EPP foam and has deep side wings that really surround your child. We have added a center angle indicator in the front of our seat for use when installing in the rear facing position. This new easy to read indicator will help you determine if you have installed your seat at the angle recommended by Safety Advocates. We have also moved both side LATCH attachments so they are easy to access when you are installing your seat and easy to secure when you remove the seat from your vehicle.

Looking for a car seat that is easy to install? Did you know if you have a seat that is easier to install there is less of a chance that it will be installed incorrectly? The C670 True Fit Convertible Car Seat has been awarded high ease of use ratings from the National Highway Transportation Administration, NHTSA for short. What does that mean? That after reviewing our seats, our labels, and our instructions it was determined our seats were Easy To Use! The True Fit Rebound (model C670) was awarded Five Stars in both the rear and forward facing modes, the maximum awarded by NHTSA and our True Fit (model C630) was awarded Four Stars in both the rear and forward facing positions.
Why buy the True Fit convertible seat? Did you know that you can use our seat from 5 to 65 lbs and during the entire time of use your child will be secured in a 5 pt harness? Most Safety Advocates recommend keeping your child in a harness as long as possible! Advocates also recommend keeping your little one rear facing for as long as possible. We have a removable headrest, that really is easy to remove. One finger lifts the release and you are able to pull the head rest off until you need it, usually up to 22lbs. As your infant starts to grow, simply add the head rest back on and you are good to go in the rear facing position up to 35lbs. When your infant is ready to watch you drive (at 35 lbs or so) simply make sure that head rest is in place and turn your seat around. Remember, even in the forward facing position, your child will still be using the 5 pt harness. Let's not forget about installation, all of our True Fit Convertibles feature built in lock offs and LATCH system, for both the rear and forward facing positions. We also color code all of our belt paths, making it easier for you to locate just where you should be putting your car seat belts when you install your seat. Wondering about Side Impact Testing? The True Fit seats all have deep side wings and they are all side impact tested to International Standards!
Ever try to adjust or rethread the harness straps on a car seat? Unless you have a few hours to spare, you will really appreciate our no rethread, easy to adjust harness system. We have easy to access shoulder belt height adjusters on each side of the seat and they are clearly marked with recommended positions (four) based on whether you are installing in a rear or forward facing position. All of this means you never have to spend time trying to figure out how to correctly rethread or adjust the harness. Does your child ever make a little mess with their animal crackers in the car? The combination of our no rethread harness and our easy off pad makes clean up a snap, literally, our pad snaps right off. Simply lift the center flap on the pad, unsnap the sides and clean up is as simple as can be. Once your pad is clean, it snaps back on in seconds hassle free!
As your child grows, have no worries that they will not fit in your True Fit. The interior dimensions of our seat are large and comfortable. In fact, with the extra cushy seat pads and roomier seat it may be hard to convince your child to leave their seat!
