There is currently a manufacturer’s recall (as of January 2010) on certain models of the Safety 1st Designer 22 Infant seat, manufactured in late 2008 and early 2009, for a flaw in the handle. If you already own this seat phone Safety 1st for details and numbers of affected models.
If you are still considering purchasing this seat, read on! The Safety 1st Designer 22 Infant Seat (available in Disney Designer style) can be bought on its own or as part of a travel system with a stroller. It has a removable stay-in-car base that is very handy for carrying small sleeping newborns without disturbing them. If you have two cars and lots of money, you could even buy an extra base for your second vehicle to make switching between cars very easy (and anything that makes life with a ne baby easier is worth it!)
A limiting factor with this seat is that it only carries up to 22lbs, which is a very low maximum weight in today’s car seat market. As it is now recommended to keep children rear-facing as long as possible, if you buy this seat you may be looking at buying a bigger rear-facing seat before your child’s first birthday.
Some parents also find this seat is quite upright for newborns and that the padding could be more generous, considering the target market.
What really frustrates some owners is that to adjust the height of the shoulder harness traps on this seat you need to unthread the straps through the cover and back. In the first few months babies grow quickly, so this means you will be adjusting straps every month or two! Some people also say the straps twist, but this could be user error more than anything.
