I tried out a new car seat because with the new baby on the way, I know I’m going to need a new car seat. And with the trendZ Fastback 3-in-1 Car Seat from Baby Trend it’s 3 in 1! So I wanted to use this for Hunter as his new car seat, and save his for the new baby. Let me tell you, this is the EASIEST car seat I have ever installed. It was such a breeze that I was in love with it from the start!
So I switched it out and put him in the backseat for our vacation back in July. Mainly because since we had MIL coming with us, and she has to sit in the front, the other adult in the car didn’t have to sit all the way in the back in purgatory. Plus Hunter wanted to sit back there and we could see how it would work when the baby came and he would be going back there anyways.
Hunter just loves it!! The cup holder may be his favorite thing, and now he can unbuckle himself when it’s time to get out. He can’t buckle himself in, so it was a bit annoying to have to climb back there to get him in each time. I’m going to really have to get him to try to do it by himself because when the baby comes it’s going to be even harder to get back there to buckle him in. We moved him back up next to Landon, so right now it’s easier to buckle him in, but he still has trouble doing it himself.

That’s a beautiful car seat! I love that their is a cup holder. Is the other side a juice box holder?
You may be able to fit a juice box but I think it’s more for toys. Hunter keeps his remote for the DVD player in there.
I was gonna say – I would NEVER allow juice boxes in my car! LOL! It looks like a good place for the remote!
Thanks for the review…I need a new car seat for little man and have been searching. I love that this has a one hand adjuster, sounds easy enough, so this may be a great one for us.
The belt clip broke where do I get one
