We found 2 of these carseats on sale, so we bought them both. The double strap is not as difficult as some people say, you just have to know how to use them. They're easy once you know how to use them. When you put the child in, you should click the strap into the base before clipping the chest clip, it's easier that way.We've only used it for a couple months, my daughter is 7 months now. Not sure how she'll like it when she gets a little bigger, it seems to be more form fitting for narrow bodies. We'll see. Otherwise, it's a great seat so far.
