There's a great deal on them at Albee baby. Kind of want to pull the trigger but wondering if anyone has experience with one?

We have one in our truck and love it! We had a second one for my car (Mazda CX-7) but it ended up being too big to rear face comfortably. DS loves it and looks really comfortable in it. We've been using it since about 8 months and he is now 28 months.

I do, and I do not love it. It was hard to get the angle right rear facing, even with a rolled up towel. It also takes up a lot of space front to back, although that might not be an issue in your vehicle. It may be a car-fit issue for me, though it is in a Nissan Frontier. I bought it partly because Nissan keeps a list of which carseats fit in which cars, and Nissan said it would. I like my Chicco Nextfit, in another vehicle, much better, although it is a lot more expensive.
ETA: I got it because it seemed like of the carseats listed as fitting, it would rear face the longest. I probably should have been suspicious of that.

We do and we love it!!! we do used a rolled up towel to get the right angle but other that installation hasn't been an issue. we bought one for my car (nissan altima) and then purchased one for DH"s truck (ford f150). the straps rarely get twisted and it is easy to tighten and loosen them. DS loves it! He is a tall boy (98th for height) and has been in it since he was about 6 months old. 18 months still RF and plenty of room to continue to do so. we love it!

@coacheswife123: does it fit okay in your Altima? I have a crossover SUV so I'm assuming I have more space than a sedan.

I think this is the one that we have in DH's car. It is a pain in the ass rear facing. The angle is funky and it makes us have to put the front seat too far forward. DH has a Lexus crossover SUV. That said, LO really likes that seat. He seems very comfortable and I think it will be great when we forward face.

@CRGmama: yes - it fits fine! but - like @travellingbee: said... we do have to push the seat up a little on the passenger side. not a deal breaker for us, though. my parents have a larger sedan (impala) and we do not have to do that in their vehicle, so you may be in the clear in a SUV. we really do love the seat! (I also got from Albee Baby!)
