So far so good, and I have tried many carseats!
I received the Graco Affix today, assembled, and put in my Buick Enclave middle bucket seat. I love all the features, the built-in cupholder, large headwings for safety and napping, and the LATCH system. I was afraid to purchase this seat because of the negative reviews stating that the LATCH system was not stable. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. I can see how the one side might not stay as tight as the other due to the pulls being directly on top of one another through the same hole, but I pulled on it and it did not come loose. At the most, it would pull out about 5-6 inches which doesn't matter anyway because the seat belt is what secures your child into the seat. The one thing that I would change is I would like the armrests to fold up for buckling. My almost 4-year-old will probably not be able to buckle himself because the base is fairly wide and pushes up against the buckle port, so I will have to do this for him. The base is 16 1/2 inches wide, the same as most of the other boosters I have been looking at, so this would be a problem with any of them. I also own 2 First Years Compass B570's...awesome for safety, but a NIGHTMARE for buckling; and an Evenflo LX Big Kid which is wonderful for my son to buckle independently, but sidewings leave much to be desired. All in all, I think this is my favorite carseat so far, but time will tell. This would be perfect for my 6-year-old that has a little more experience with buckling himself. Very good quality.
