great seat other than the cup holders
I got this carseat a few months ago and it has been a great seat other than we took it on vacation and since the cup holders do not securely lock in place they fell off and out of our gate check bag for the carseat so I no longer have them and can't find a place to re-order another set

Super Pleased With This Carseat!
I received the Safety 1st TriMate™ All-in-One Convertible Car Seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and have been really pleased with this seat. It's slim and light which makes it easy to move around. Since getting this seat we have had to move it around the car to fit adult family members and the ease of the release of the lower anchor has been fantastic. With other car seats it seems like the lower anchors are so hard to release that it becomes a problem. Not this car seat. Not only does this seat tighten securely but it is also easy to release and move around. My kids think this seat is comfortable to sit in and often ask if it is their turn to use the seat. It is so simple to switch out kids because of the ease of adjusting the headrest and harness. The only difficulty we have had with this seat is the cupholders. While I love that they are designed in such a way that they do not stick out wide and are easy to remove to clean, their ease of removal has also caused us to lose them or have them fall out of the car. Overall though, our family loves this seat and how nicely it fits on the back bench with two other car seats.

Compact Car (Mostly) Approved
We have a Prius c. It's tiny in all directions. I received this as part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel. The Trimate is narrower than our other compact carseats at the hips by about half an inch which is helpful, but still not enough to get even my skinny tween in the middle seat. Our van fit 3 across easily. The main thing companies seem to forget is that compact cars also struggle with front to back space between the rows when we are considering rear facing. We have not found any RF seat that would let a passenger sit comfortably. But this one does ok behind the driver at recline 2 (6+mo), especially if the driver is willing to sit up straighter. My main complaints with this seat are with the latches & the cup holders. The latches are the basic hard to pinch ones & I struggled the most to detach them. Some people have reviewed that installing tight was impossible , but the manual states to pull the strap back through the belt path to tighten, and once I did that, it was plenty secure. As for the cupholder, my toddler has done nothing but repeatedly take it off & throw it around the car while I'm driving. I gave up & detach them completely when he's in the seat. Both of my carseat kids liked the padding a lot (crotch buckle padding for boys ??) & it was easy to adjust the latches between RF/FF/booster + sizing the straps was thankfully quick. We had a safety first alpha omega for my now teenager & not only is this a vast improvement by the company for comfort/ease of use, it's also a much better fit particularly in booster mode. This Trimate actually gets a proper booster belt fit for my tiny 6 year old. Very exciting! This seat won't get most kids RFing past 3 years & they'll probably max out the FFing/booster height a few years after that, but it's a great 1 & done seat for compact cars that doesn't break the bank.

Great Seat
My first impression of the car seat is how adorable the seat looks! Our baby girl seemed to enjoy the seat and seemed very comfortable in it! I think this seat will be a good fit for our family going forward as she can grow into this seat! The seat was incredibly easy to install and fit right along with our other seats! We typically have 3 seats in a row so it's usually a tight fit and this seat fit perfectly! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this all in one car seat.

Room for improvement
I had a few pros and cons with this seat. It has a nice look, although I'd prefer a darker color and the material is very soft and cozy. It has good reclining positions for older and younger children depending on which stage they're at for car rides. I liked that it had a little buckle cover, it was just like a sleeve that covered it so their little legs are protected. Height adjustment is great as well, a little stiff to adjust at first but that's because it's still newer. Easy to install and very light compared to other seats I have purchased before. It does have a slim design, I had one child in the seat and two other older children all sitting in the backseat of a SUV comfortably. I did not care for the removable cup holders, they were twisted off and tossed within the first 5 minutes, it's a nice concept but not ideal for little ones, so I could see those being easily lost. I think the head rest portion could be a little more padded. Previous car seats I have purchased have had a thick styrofoam piece that ran along the head rest part and was covered by the car seat material. The latch clip that goes on the chest seems a little cheap, it's very thin. I have had no complaints from the user of the car seat, he seems to enjoy his car rides in it. Overall a good chair that could use a few adjustments. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Lightweight and removable cupholders!
I'm so excited to use the Safety 1st TriMate™ All-in-One Convertible Car Seat in our car. I have two children, 6 years old and 4 years old both are still in 5-point harnesses and on the smaller size for age. When my older child sat in the Safety 1st TriMate™ All-in-One Convertible Car Seat, she immediately commented how soft and cozy the material is! I noticed the twist off cupholders. As a mom who feeds kids snacks in the backseat, I'm pretty grossed out by the sticky goo that gets stuck in cupholders. I will be using that feature quite often! Removable and washable is a super plus in my book! This car seat is noticeably thinner and not as bulky as other ones we have used. I feel that my children's specific age range is perfect for this car seat. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with an additional safe car seat for my children!

Great value ????
We really wanted to love this car seat but right out of the box it was broken at the base and unusable. Unfortunately, we didn't notice until we went to install it in our car and it wouldn't sit flush at the base and seat back. Apart from that, it is very slim (16inch wide) & would've worked perfectly in our car with two car seats. Also, the infant inserts give the car seat a nice plush feeling which is great for babies. We also liked that there's no need to retire as the harness for a taller child, all you do is pull the headrest up! I was given this all in one car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
