We purchased the Graco ComfortSport before our daughter was born. After extensive research, it seemed like the best seat for the money. We primarily used her infant car seat until she was about 5 months old. Now that we are using the Graco regularly, I've found some flaws that weren't apparent at first.
PROS:
--Great price. Britax is nice, but at over twice the cost of the ComfortSport, it's a hefty price tag.
--Very cushy and comfy padding, which is also easy to remove for washing and for adjusting the strap height.
--Installed pretty easily and is pretty easy to transfer back and forth from my Honda Accord to my husband's BMW 3-Series.
CONS:
--Doesn't have an adjustable recline. When my daughter falls asleep, her poor little head slumps over. This makes me really nervous about her neck possibly being injured.
--Shoulder straps are difficult to adjust. Oftentimes, one strap will be loose and the other tight. It takes a lot of time and finagling to get them even.
--Padding has a funky sort of chemical smell, even after 9 months of use.
--Can be hard to get it installed at the right angle when rear-facing.
--Buckles sometimes stick when trying to release them. I usually have to wrestle with them for a while to get them out.
Overall, the cons outweigh the pros for us. We're shopping for a second seat, and it won't be another ComfortSport. We are currently debating between the Evenflo Triumph and either the Britax Marathon or Decathlon. I'd suggest researching these seats yourself rather than purchasing the Graco. It's not a terrible seat, but there are definitely better ones available.

We got this seat when our son was about a year old and he loved it. He always fell asleep in it, and seemed very comfortable. Though the straps are uneven (maybe all carseats are that way, or just Gracos? we had the same issue with our SnugRide), they adjust without problems. Our only problem is that he's only 2 1/2, 35 inches tall, 28 pounds, and we just discovered that his shoulders are well above the highest strap slots (very dangerous). We will need to buy another seat, which is disappointing, since we just bought a car with built-in booster seats, thinking that would be his next step. Those aren't usable until he's 33 pounds (do you know how long it takes an active little boy to gain that much weight? ha ha), so it'll be at least 6 months or more until he's ready for those. The manual says this seat is for up to 40 pounds and 40 inches tall, but my son is well below both of those and he's way too tall for it. The other measurement is that his ears shouldn't be above the top of the seat, and it's already getting close. I was shocked, since his measurements are so much lower than the limit of the seat. To all you parents out there, double-check that your child fits in your seat, even if they aren't even close to the height or weight limits. There's nothing more important than their safety!

This car seat is so so. I had bought it for my little girl because of the extra cushion and the fact that it was a Graco. Well, I returned it. The straps never seemed to work. I could get one side tight and the other side was really loose. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get it to work. Don;t buy it.

I love this car seat. ANd so does my son. We bought this when he was abuot 8 months old and outgrew his infant carrier. He is now 20 months old and this carseat works great.
I read some other reviews and don't agree with everythign they said. We have never had any problems adjusting the straps, and though they may get twisted once inawhile when my son tries to climb out when we are not unbuckling him fast enough, it doesn't take more than a few seconds to fix.
It is true that this car seat doesn't recline, but my son sleeps fine in it, and has never complained. I love the extra padding and thinks it is more comfortable for him. My son is a little on the skinny side, but there is plenty of extra room that it should fit for a bigger child as well.
We love this car seat and think it is worth the money without having to spend the extra $$ to get a britax.

We registered for this because Baby Bargains recommended it. What a disappointment. It is cheaply made. Our son was visibly uncomfortable in it. He always got sweaty sitting against the fake "leather" trim. You will use a convertible carseat for a few years...make the investment in a good one. We now own 2 Britax, and they are worth every penny. I DO NOT recommend this product to anyone.
