Yes, LOVE IT! Fits nicely in the back of the Camaro too! Easy to install and remove.

My parents put me in one when I was younger and it survived a CUV getting totaled with me in the back.
If I had a kid, I would trust their life to it.

My little cousin had one and I drove him all the time so I got to remove/install it very often. Pretty quality seat. I will definitely be looking at them for my own child.

I have 2 of them. They are by far my son's favorite seats.

We started out with an Uppababy Mesa infant seat that worked really well for the first year, daughter is 15 months old now and too tall for that seat so we recently upgraded to Recaro Performance Ride seats. To be honest I don't like them quite as well as the Uppababy, but they're still great seats with a lot of room to grow.
Test fitted both rear facing and forward facing in the back of the Camaro, works fine and still able to latch the passenger seat back and fit a adult there. Spend the extra couple bucks and get the "performance" series over the older "pro" models, the Hero harness system alone is worth the price difference.

Thanks for your input Chevy_cowboy.
Was thinking of starting him in the Performance Coupe? |

That looks like a nice seat too, but I don't have any experience with it. Looks similar to the Uppababy brand seat we used for the first year. They're usually safer for infants than the convertible type seats, and easier to carry around and install since they have the base that stays in the car and the carrier that just snaps into it, but the kid will outgrow it quickly and you'll need to get a bigger seat in a year or so.
The main thing that sold us on the Uppababy was the autotensioning LATCH straps, it made installation of the base a breese. I don't know if the Performance Coupe has that feature or not.
