Let me start by saying I have been lifting in gyms for about 30 years and even qualified for Nationals as bodybuilder when I was 27....I'm 43 now. Still going at it strong but wanted a home calf raise machine and an alternative to barbell squats. I've probably lifted on just about any and all commercial grade equipment out there. Here are my thoughts on this piece of equipment and why I only gave it 3 stars. I hope it helps.

A very nice car seat - love the look! We were concerned about the texture of the fabric. It is soft enough and appears to be soil resistant. We have had it for 2 months and still looks brand new. My granddaughter seems to enjoy it. We started using it just before her first birthday. She has never looked uncomfortable and have never had to reposition her. It sits high enough that she can see out the windows of our Honda Civic. We needed help to install it, but once in, it's good. The only negative thing I have to say is that even though I do physical work with my hands, on a daily basis, I do not have enough strength in my hands to press the latch release. This is in part because it fits so close against the child's body. Some of my friends with small kids say that their toddler unfastens their own car seats. Given the choice, I prefer the well-locked one, but it would be good to be able to achieve both goals! I have total peace of mind about this seat, which is why I purchased it.

Disappointing, returning it. Not enough power, after the second use, I felt like this noisey thing needed new batteries, and a new file. I changed the batteries, to no avail. Not happy with this tool. I read and followed all the directions, too. Shame on me, I was taken in by the advertisements....
