I removed the bulky head support that was pushing her head so far forward and re-installed the seat (the next day – we’re not working with ultra patient models, here!) and her head was still pushed further forward than I would be comfortable with for a newborn, even without the head support. Use an infant child restraint instead.” Strike one, this seat does not fit an average sized one month old correctly. If the harness is above the child’s shoulders with the headrest in the lowest position, do not use this child restraint.

Page twelve of the instruction manual states for the rear facing position, “harness guide must be even with or just below the shoulders. In this close up view, you can see there is still about an inch of space between her shoulders and the lowest harness position. She weighs nine pounds and is twenty-two inches long, well within the specifications for rear facing. First, I tried my 1 month old daughter in the seat.

Expiration: 10 years (seats made after Dec 2013)Īs the name “Alpha Omega” suggests, this seat is marketed as the only one you’ll ever need, it’s three car seats in one! Sounds great, right? Spend $100 once, and you’ll never have to buy a car seat again! Unfortunately, that’s just not the case.

Highback booster weight range: 40-100 lbs.

For this post, I’m using the Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite: CSFTL Quick Stats Let’s go over the stats for this particular seat. The key to that statement is “used properly,” and in this post we’re about to explore some of the reasons why this seat is difficult to use properly and why it elicits that exasperated sigh from CPSTs every time it shows up at a checkpoint. It wasn't a good option for full-day use: the seat bucket is deep and the back side offers little support so when our little one was ready for his naps, he could not lean his head back! Instead, his head would flop forward and he was bobbing his head back and forth the whole time.this also meant light sleeping which equals a cranky baby.Alpha Omega Elite: too big for small infantsįirst, a disclaimer: when used properly, the Alpha Omega Elite is absolutely just as safe as any other car seat.

We ended up having to use it for a weekend while my car and the primary car seat were at the shop.

For that quick, early morning drive, this car seat does the job! However, if you're looking for this car seat to be your all-purpose, daily car seat, I wouldn't recommend it. We bought this car seat for my husband's car so that he could take our baby to school in the mornings on his way to work (literally, a 3 minute drive) while I go in the opposite direction to take our other son to his school.

We've had the seat for well over a year and it is holding up very well. The color selection is great and the quality of the material is awesome! I feel we have made a good choice in this particular seat. I like the quick release harness and the re-moveable head pad.

Plus we had to rig the long back strap to hook to the underside of the seat- not too much fun.

I own a Grand Caravan and the only issue was the recline forward facing and rear-facing.
