is this a good car seat for a one year old

No. A 1 year old NEEDS to be in a rear facing convertible seat (it has a LOT more room than an infant seat) since its 500% safer on the head, neck and spine than a forward facing seat (which this Safety 1st Summit is- it ONLY forward faces).

No. I had to purchase another seat. The reason is both safety & comfort. This particular model of Saftey 1st booster has little to no side protection. When your child falls to sleep his/her head will drop off to the side or forward dramatically. There is nothing supporting the head. Worse still - in case of an accident your little one will experience serious whiplash for the same reason. I ended up buying a Britax Roundabout. Look for a booster with more side protection is my advise.

Not really. I would say 9-10 months and up.. The car seat will not fit on it.

No, there is not. My son is 11 months and we bought this for his sitter and grandmother to have in their cars. It serves it's purpose for quick trips around town for them, but I would not buy it for a child smaller than 6 months as there is no head support or cushion. It is very basic but has a good safety rating. For our family car my son has a much nicer Graco. It came with several head cushion options to add or subtract to the seat. On that note, the Graco takes up a lot of space in my Envoy. This car seat is smaller and fits in my husbands extended cab truck that only has a bench seat. No, there is not.

Yes, the top of the seat to floor is approx. 9 inches. Should not be a problem for a 1 year old.

Yes, I purchased the seat for my 1 year old Granddaughter who was visiting. Please ensure that you are in compliance with the age / weight requirements since its a front facing seat. I took it to our local Sheriff dept and they installed it for free. I am very pleased with this purchase. Even after my granddaughters visit, its still in my car....matches the interior perfectly :)

Look at the weight restrictions. I don't remember what the minimum is. And I think the car seat is too big for a one month old.

i think yes it'll be okay for a one year old baby to have this doll coz its all soft except her hands and face..that too is a soft rubber ..

No, this seat is bulky and heavy. It is meant to stay in the car. You are thinking of an infant car seat (like the chicco keyfit 30). The infant seat is useful for the baby's first 6-12 months or so (because you can snap it in and out of the car and into a stroller). After the infant is around 6-12 months, you'll switch to a convertible car seat like this one. If you don't want to buy two separate seats, you can skip the infant seat (this convertible seat accommodates infants and toddlers--but you need to buy the version with "tiny fit"--it's a separate Amazon listing and cost about fifty dollars more) but you lose the option of toting the baby around in his seat.

It is sturdy does not rattle but it is made of a light wood so depending on how strong your one year old is the crib could move

I wouldn't go much below 1 year... The straps go pretty high and it's not really meant for infants. We took our daughter at maybe 10 months on a really slow ride around the block and she was slumping down and not very comfortable. We waited a few months and she loves it.

I would have to say yes. There are a few areas with extra padding that can be kept in place, when your child is still very small, and removed as your child grows. The padding at the very bottom of the seat will hold your young guy very nicely. I bought this for my son and he loves it, and so do I. This is really the one car seat that can grow with your child, without having to buy multiple seats as they grow.

Yes it is good for 1.5 year old, although I ordered for my son after his second birthday. I could have ordered earlier if I knew about it that time. My son started liking animals a lot after he turned two, before that it was more of car stuff. There aren't very tiny things in it, smallest is the bush (appx. 1" x 3/4" may be) but yes, I would monitor a toddler 1.5 year old throughout his play.

Hello Kyle this car seat is only recommended to front sit facing... For baby's over a one years old.

For Safety 1st years the average is 6-8 years from the date of manufacture. I don't remember the window of time for this one specifically, but it will def get her through the years you would want a good carseat and solid booster! Most kids want the smaller less obvious boosters when they get close to reaching the age that they ALMOST don't need one anymore. And it can be used as five point harness seat for a LONG time. My son is almost 4 and still has LOTS of weight and height to go before he meets the recommended requirements for the booster option! I love the Alpha seats, all three of my kids have them :) For Safety 1st years the average is 6-8 years from the date of manufacture.
