  This is not the area you want to scrimp on. Think about how much time your kid will spend STRAPPED IN in this thing. You want them to be both comfortable and safe.
  
  Once you get that bad boy, take some time (plan for an hour and a half) to get to know it. Actually read the manual. Monkey around with it until you know its ins and outs.
  
  Know how to adjust it quickly. Your kids grow (FAST!).
  
  Know how to remove and install it quickly. In the event that your car is disabled, you may need to move it to another vehicle. You also want to spend as little time fumbling around as possible when it comes to a rental car situation. You also may need to drive people at work. If you end up with 4 people, that seat needs to come out.

  Although I suffered through both my kids trying to get those damn seat bases as tight as humanly possible (actually tighter than humanly possible), my sister-in-law swears by the Mighty-Tite. It\'s basically a ratchet that \"goes to 11\" on locking down car seats and bases. I can honestly say I was slightly jealous of the results she achieved with this little device...and she claims she never looked like an idiot jumping on top of the seat, driving a knee through the base, or generally sweating like a pig on a hot summer day trying to achieve some level of assurance that your kid was going to be safe. The reviews seem to be mixed, but if I had to do it again (\"what\'s that honey? you see two lines not one??? are you sure??!!??!\") I would be on Team Mighty-Tite. Good luck Noodads!
