Car seat was inspected from the beginning of the purchase. The car seat through the seatbelt method was not sturdy enough and incorrectly leveled without the base even though the car seat claims to be for both uses (with or without the base). It claims to be for infants/ toddler (max 35lbs / max 32â) but my child outgrew after 1 year and was less than 30lbs / less than 30❠I recently received a recall a few weeks ago. After years of purchasing. Plus the recall is before the expiration date of the car seat I own.
