Product Instructions
Recommended Use
Rear-Facing Harness: 5-40 lb, head must be at least 1" below handle Forward-Facing Harness: 22-65 lb; 49” or less; Head must be 1" below top of seat, tops of child’s ears must be below top of headrest Highback Booster: 40-100 lb, 43-57", at least 4 years old STOP using this child restraint and throw it away 7 years after the date of manufacture Children are safer riding rear-facing and should ride rear-facing as long as possible, until they reach the maximum rear-facing height or weight rating for their car seat. Then children should ride forward-facing, using the built-in harness system for as long as possible until they reach the maximum forward-facing weight or height for their car seat. At that point, children should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat. A booster is no longer needed once the vehicle seat belt fits properly, typically when they reach 4 feet 9 inches tall and are between ages 8-12. Be sure to check your local and state laws, as well as AAP and NHTSA recommendations, for car seat usage.*
*Century Supports the American Academy of Pediatrics and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Car Seat Guidelines. Visit our safety page for information on car seat usage recommendations.
DO NOT use this child restraint in harnessed mode 7 years after the date of manufacture, or in booster mode 10 years after the date of manufacture.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good value carseat! We've been using this for a few weeks and I already love it! My little girl is so comfy in the seat, she falls right asleep and I don't have to worry about her safety! I plan to get another for my friend who is pregnant now!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this car seat This car seat was bought as an early Christmas for my daughter last year. She absolutely loves it and so do it. She has spilt juice and chocolate and other foods and nothing has stained the fabric. Added bonus it’s easy to take apart to wash.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Car seat for Travel I purchased this car seat primarily for air line travel but I wanted something that I could also use in my vehicle and could use long term if I chose to. I looked at a lot of options and drove an hour to buy buy baby just to assess the quality of the seat before purchasing. This car seat is very good quality and light weight for travel. It is very easy to install. It’s a bit hard to uninstall when using the latch system, but I guess that’s a good problem to have. Most travel car seats for rear facing need a rolled towel or pool noodle for installation. I was not ok with that. The Century Drive On 3-in-1 has enough built in adjustments for safe installation rear facing without any additional “padding”. While it doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles that some of the more expensive car seats have, the design of this seat was well thought out and makes up not having all of the “nice to haves”. I really like the way the seat contours for future booster with a seat belt use. That will be helpful in that stage but right now it actually makes it easier to get the little one in and out of the car. And an added benefit to that design is it made it much easier to secure on the stroller while traveling the airport. Another smart design is the way the cover secures to the frame. You can quickly un secure one side (without having to take the whole cover off) to run the seatbelt through to secure when not using the latch system. My daughter slept comfortably in the seat while traveling. We have been using it in my vehicle for the past few months to get used to it prior to traveling. I couldn’t be happier with this car seat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a car seat for their vehicle or for travel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome seat I am so happy to have received this car seat through stellar product testing! I was looking for a new car seat for my 2 year old and this is absolutely everything I was looking for! It allows you to adjust the height of the buckles and headrest just by simply pushing a button at the top and pulling up. I always dreaded retest hearing the harness when I had to adjust the seat, so this feature is extremely convenient! I have 3 kids in car seats or boosters in the backseat of my Nissan Altima, so having narrow seats that also are roomy enough for my huge 45 lb 2 year is also a must. This seat is very comfortable for him but due to the cup holders being positioned on the front instead of the sides it allows the 3 seats to fit with ease. It is designed so well and I feel more than comfortable putting my baby in this seat and knowing he’ll be safe. Excellent choice of seat for any kid aged 6 months-4 years due to it also converting to a high back booster!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Slim and Easy to Install I was given this seat to test by the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was able to test it out three different ways with all of my girls - rear-facing, forward-facing and as a booster seat. I definitely love the versatility of the seat and the fact that you can use it from infancy through elementary years. It was very easy to install (after watching the helpful video) and we used the latch system which worked well. I was very pleased with the slimmer design compared to the other car seats that we use regularly. I do not think I could get three seats across one bench, but it did give some extra room when used in all positions. I also loved that it had two cup holders. My girls liked this too - one for their drink and one for their sunglasses or whatever else they wanted to put there. My children all seemed comfortable riding in the seat. It’s definitely great as a booster and we will continue to use in that position. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn’t have as much support around the head in the rear-facing position as I prefer. And, when I was driving without my kids, the seat made noise from the vibration of the vehicle. Overall, I think it’s a great option for a car seat that can be used for many years. And it would work well in smaller vehicles that need a slimmer design.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Comfy and light carseat I installed the carseat rear-facing for my 11-month-old, in my large SUV. It was definitely on the slimmer side, which gave us a decent amount of space between the two carseats we have in the back row. It was very easy to install -- the height adjustment was especially simple, because you can just pull the whole apparatus up instead of having to rethread anything. My kiddo seems comfortable, although I think the seat is just a bit more upright than she's used to, her head did slump over a bit when she nodded off. I really like that the seat part of the carseat has a wide base, it makes it so much easier to clean (no digging crumbs out of the nooks and crannies!). The cup holders are great, and my little can even reach her teething toy in there. The pull-tight adjustment strap is oddly long, but it's not really an issue. Overall, really happy with this product! Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me the carseat to review.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from really good basic option I was so excited to receive this carseat to test as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel! We have a 1 year old and an almost 4 year old so I was able to try the car seat forward and rear facing. I am really looking forward to having a seat that grows with the kids! The first thing that struck me is how light weight it is! Most convertible car seats are so darn heavy that moving them is really unpleasant. This seat is seriously easy to pick up - my mom said she won't complain about moving the seat to her car now haha Since this seat can be used on the plane, traveling with it will be much easier than the crazy heavy one we used previously! The car seat is able to be installed using LATCH or the seat belt. The LATCH system on this uses an actual hook which is a little more difficult than the kind that snaps in, but it's still easy to use. Depending on how your seats are, though, it might be rough on your fingers to get into the crevice to unhook it. If you use the seatbelt, you can thread the seatbelt through without needing to remove the seat cover which makes things easier. I also like that the LATCH system stores on the outside, tucked into the sides, so you don't need to remove the cover to store those, either. Adjusting the seat is extremely easy - the headrest slides up and down really easily and there is clear signage on the seat for front/rear facing adjustments. The straps are sliding easily so far, as well. The car seat has a slim design which is really great for using in our compact car. I like that the cupholders aren't hanging off the side but I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove them. I put snacks in them so taking them out to clean would be great (removing them wasn't intuitive so I read the manual but maybe I still missed how to remove them). I really like the fabric's design. Light with dark grey - geometric line ... I think it will be a good neutral option for years to come. The cover was pretty easy to get off and back on. The fabric also wipes up easily so you don't need to remove it to wash as often. My kids didn't complain about sitting in the seat - I noticed the seat and headrest were cushioned but not overly plush ... so far that seems to be fine with them. They both sleep in the car and have done so in this seat as well. The back cushion is more plush, which is probably the area they need more support. I gave this seat a 4 because it's a really good basic option. The one feature I would rave about is how light weight it is! The rest of the features are par for the course and the only complaint I have about it is the cupholders not removing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple and does the job This car seat was easy to install (took two people to get it tight enough, but other brands I have tried also took two people). My son is comfortable in it and it feels very durable and safe. Not heavy if you are switching it from car to car. I do wish it had an actual level for installation and not just a red line to eyeball if it’s level to the ground. I received this product as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to install but bit plasticky I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have two kids, one forward-facing and the other rear-facing, but did not get a chance to try out the rear-facing configuration before I was told I needed to review this product or face expulsion from the panel. I installed forward-facing rather seamlessly -- I tried to just use the booklet as instructions, but similar to my current carseat models, these are very, very simple so you actually need the videos available online. The woman who does Century Drive-On videos was easy to understand, a great speed (not frustratingly slow or needing to rewind too many times to catch what she was doing), and thorough. I also was pleasantly surprised to have so many instruction stickers ON the carseat relative to forward-facing. It can feel like you buy a 3-in-1 when you have a newborn then are left on your own to figure out the next configurations. I was nervous about the durability of this seat because the buckles seem so plasticky, but my 4yo says it is actually MORE comfortable than her former seat because the chest clip lays flatter on her, rather than more angled like her other seat. It is definitely more challenging for her to unclip the chest clip herself (....is that a bad thing....? Not until kindergarten car line, maybe), but at this point, I am okay with that. I wish I had gotten a chance to try the rear-facing before this review was due. I have no concerns that it will be more challenging than the forward-facing and am looking forward to finding out if my 1yo finds it more comfortable, as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Environmentally Friendly and Space Saving I did hours of research searching for the perfect car seat for my first baby and, in the end, was not very happy with some of the features! For my second, I was definitely looking for 2 features in addition to safety: space saving and easy in & out for my daughter. I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. And, so far, the Drive In 3-in-1 car seat checks all the boxes, plus the fabric is made with recycled materials! We just moved my 2nd (who had previously been in her infant car seat) into this car seat. She is still in the rear facing position. Immediately, my daughter looked more comfortable in this car seat that is somehow still spacious for Baby even though it is designed to be space-saving for your back seat! I also really liked that it was easy to install (we have installed quite a few car seats and that is not always the case!) Luckily, we have not had any messes that required the car seat to be washed, but I am sure they are coming!!! Therefore, I appreciate that the recycled fabric is easily wipeable & machine washable! Lastly, I am happy that the car seat will grow with my daughter as she turns to forward facing and moves into a booster (up to 100 lbs). We have only been using the seat for a couple of weeks, but are so far very happy with it and would definitely recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight and Slim Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat. I initially found it to be very lightweight, easy to handle and simple in design when I removed it from the box. It was easy to install and fit well in my car. It feels sturdy and safe. My son fit in the seat just fine, as he is now forward facing. It is less bulky than other seats I've seen and used and appreciate the slim fit. It seems as though it will be easy to take in and out of cars as we swap car seats often with family. I found the colors to be sleek and simple, suitable for a boy or a girl. This will definitely be a seat that will be used for many years in my family.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing seat! I bought this seat for my 4 year old. We’ve owned a lot of seats and he has a perpetual head slump issue. I loved the look of the seat so we tried it out at bbb. He fit great and luckily they had one in stock!! It installed in less than 2 minutes and He fits great! He fell asleep today while we were out and his head stayed back! The seat feels well made and the fabric is decent quality. It has eps foam in the head wings which is something I always look for. The cup holders fit his sippy cup and a standard water bottle just fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight and easy to use I’ve been using this car seat with my 14 month old for a little over a week and we’re a fan! It’s lightweight so moving it from car to car is a breeze. The padding feels comfy and the harness fit is great. The mechanism for adjusting the straps is super smooth. We have the car seat installed rear facing and it fits really well in the center seat of our 2019 Toyota Camry. Using the vehicle belt to install it, we were able to get a nice and tight installation. I would recommend being cautious about latch installation however. The stickers with installation instructions were a huge safety plus and I always love to see this on car seats. We’ve found that most car seats are difficult to achieve a tight enough fit using just latch straps though. The fabric is nice and soft and we loved the eco friendly aspect! Converting from rear facing to forward facing to high back booster is so easy and we’re really looking forward to being able to use this car seat in all 3 of its modes! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for kindly providing me with this car seat.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great booster I received this car seat as part of the stellar product testing panel. I love the double cup holders and how I don’t have to shop for more than one car seat since this one will last us so long. Very easy to adjust the car seat to booster height. Only drawback is the metal buckles. I’ve enjoyed other car seats in the past that had an all plastic design so the buckles don’t heat up and burn little legs in the summer heat here in Alabama.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Sleek comfy and easy Thanks to the stellar review panel for giving me this product to test. This car seat is kind of a game changer in how slim it is without the typical 5 function base. Yet, it seems to sit into the seat even better than with the base! This also allows for more legroom for my kiddo (and in turn, me because I don’t have to adjust my seat now!) My daughter says the car seat is comfy and roomy, loves the colors, and the slim chest pads are just right. Install was so easy for both rear facing and forward (which I tried for each kiddo). I’m really good with carseat installation but I’ll admit some of them are so frustrating! This one wasn’t—it was very intuitive to install. As of a few days in it has not required further adjusting. The only thing that isn’t ideal is the chest strap is difficult to unbuckle.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Luxury features at a budget friendly price The Drive On 3-in-1 Car Seat definitely matches up to more popular name brands. It feels much more secure than other car seats we have when it comes to no moving or rattling of the seat against the car. Installation was easy, but it would be nice if the anchor straps had a bit more material so you could tighten it down. They can make the anchor straps a little longer that way it could be cinched down for tightening. It was too tight-fitting in my Nissan Versa Hatchback (which is uber compact), so I had to install it with the model leaning forward so that I could get both anchor straps connected. Then, I had to shimmy it down back into place against the seat. It gives it a very secure fit, but it would be very frustrating for first-time parents. Our daughter (50lb) was comfortable in the seat. The seat is lighter than other models and the slimmer design works for smaller cars or if you have two or three car seats in the backseat of your vehicle. The plastic car seat material was noticeably thinner than full-size car seat models. I think it's very versatile for swapping cars, but not sure if the durability is there... The cupholders are a slip and clip install, so not sure how long they would hold up to kids' wear and tear. My favorite feature of this seat was that it was so light and slim (alongside the 6-position recline options, depending on your kid's weight). I love that this car seat can be used from 5lb (rear-facing with harness) to 100lb (as a forward-facing booster). The seat pad material is easy to wipe clean and can simply be tossed into the washing machine for accidental messes. It is super easy to adjust (if you're switching kids who are using the seat) - I love how easy it is to just pull up the handle (on the top back of the seat) to raise the height of the backing. This is definitely one of my top picks for an affordable convertible car seat, with luxury features, that will grow alongside your children. Knowing that this car seat has been thoroughly side-impact tested reassures me that this product is one of the safest for my children. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest feedback.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good seat for the price I received this car seat as a part of the stellar product testing panel. It is fairly easy to set up. I set it up for my infant and my 3 year old. The 2 cup holders are very nice. They are easily removable, which is great for cleaning. It has a plastic frame. This is great because it makes the seat light and easy to lift in and out of the car. I do prefer to have a seat with a full metal frame, so this is a negative for me. The latch setup is a little tough to change from rear to forward facing. It is nice because it has a guide, but takes a bit of work to move. The top tether is only a single point which is easy to use, but not my preferred design. It is also a pull up style which is nice for most applications. The seat does move quite a bit when cinched tight with LATCH. For the most part, the seat is a great value for the price point it is at.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Cute and ecofriendly Taking the car seat out of the packaging, I was immediately impressed with how light and cute the car seat was. We received the grey Metro color, and it had a cute, gender-neutral color palette and pattern. I also loved how inclusive the printed materials were, featuring a kiddo with a disability prominently on the cover. Between that and the use of recycled materials, I have a really positive impression of the company overall.  My older child is too big to be rear-facing in this seat (although she’s only 3), so we tested it out with my 1-year-old. Installation was fairly easy, although I personally prefer a level with a bubble in it rather than just a line. Our CR-V seats seem extra tilted, so I am very conscious of installing appropriately. The LATCH system worked as it has with other car seats we’ve used, which is to say it can be tricky/frustrating but not any more than other seats. The one-handed headrest adjustment is a really nice feature. The profile of the seat is definitely slimmer than the seats we’ve previously used, which is nice in our smaller SUV. Our 1-year-old happens to love getting in and out of the car, and that was no different with this seat! It was easy to get him in correctly and safely, and later take him out. He had no complaints was as happy as ever! I wish this seat had higher height and weight limits for rear-facing as I hope to keep my kids rear-facing for as long as possible, and my kids are typically in the 75th or higher percentile for height and weight for their age. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Affordable and Dependable I could not ask for a better car seat to put my kids in. I have a 1.5 year old and a 3.5 year old and they are both able to rear face comfortably and safely with this car seat. I appreciate the slim design. I have a bigger vehicle, so car seats typically aren't a problem, but when I need to put my kids in a different vehicle a lot of times their previous car seats wouldn't fit. With this Drive On 3-in-1 Car seat, I've had no problems fitting it into smaller cars. The install is super simple, and cleaning messes is a breeze thanks to the washable seat. I love that this car seat can change as my kids age, so I don't need to buy more seats. I would recommend this seat to anyone looking for an affordable, dependable car seat, especially if you have a smaller vehicle. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat in exchange for my honest review.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good quality and solid car seat for the price I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I installed it rear facing using LATCH in my minivan, and my two year old (23lbs, 30" tall) was the tester. The seat came well packaged, though there was a small nick in the fabric on the lower front corner, likely from rubbing the box during shipping. I really appreciate that the fabrics are made with recycled materials! The fabric is soft and seems fairly easy to clean and durable, small hole notwithstanding. The design is pleasing, and I like the color combination of mint green, grey, and yellow. The adjustment bar on the bottom to switch between rear and forward facing is easy and intuitive. In terms of installation, the LATCH attachments are hook clips - this worked fine, but personally I prefer seatbelt-style attachments that click on and have a button to push to unlatch them. That style just *feels* more sturdy, even if the hook clips are technically just fine. It was fairly simple to get the seat tightened properly, though I had to maneuver the strap through a hole in the seat plastic (see photo) in order to get the right angle to tighten it as fully as I wanted. I wish there was a matching hole in the fabric to make this easier, which some seats have. The seat was comfortable for my son, he even took a nap in it when we were out and about. The harness is standard and works fine, though my biggest complaint is that it is difficult to open the chest clip one-handed. I am always carrying things in one arm and trying to get the kid out of the car with the other, so having the ability to unclip him with one hand is important to me. Overall, I would say that this car seat is a solid choice, especially at the price point. It compares nicely to seats that cost a lot more, just with some minor differences that may or may not make the price difference worth it to someone depending on personal preference. We plan to keep using this seat in our van from here out!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Drive On 3 in 1 Car Seat Overall this 3-in-1 Car Seat is great! I would and have recommend it to fellow parents with smaller children! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this car seat to test out and review! It was very easy to install (I personally used the LATCH system) into the car both forward facing and rear facing. Also love that it has 3 different height adjustments for both directions of use! And another huge plus is that the cover is super easy to take off, wash, and reassemble! Some cons I have about this car seat is that the chest buckle seems a little cheap. Totally operational, just not as high quality as some other seats I have used. And the only other downfall is that it is not as “slim” as I was expecting. It’s about the same width as the other 3-in-1 car seat I use for my older son, so it’s not saving me much space In my back seat. Overall this is a great car seat and would absolutely recommend to family and friends as a go to for their little ones as well!! Thank you again Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this seat to test and review!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No Hassle Install and Adjustment in 30 Seconds I thought they were done innovating child car seat designs, but they keep getting better and making this dad’s life just a little bit easier. As part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel we got to try out the Drive On 3-in-1 All in One Car Seat. It adjusts for the different stages of our kids’ growth and latches easily into our car’s safety hooks in the seat, which are features we bought our other car seat for. The Drive On Car Seat’s advertised feature is being narrower than the average car seat, giving you a little more room back there for other passengers. And it is a bit smaller, but that’s not my favorite feature. The Drive On car seat is so much lighter and less bulky to carry than our other car seat. I feel like I’m constantly moving the kids’ car seats to other cars, or taking them out completely to fit bigger items in the car, and the Drive On is easier to move around without accidentally changing the settings. The other thing I really like about this car seat is how easy it is to adjust the height (important if you have kids that are a couple of years apart). You just pull up on a yellow handle on the top of the seat and the headrest and the straps slide up accordingly. No having to unhook the straps and rethread them through the different slits. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Slim Sturdy Car seat This car seat is a great fit for families with multiple kids who need to fit more than one car seat into the back seat of their car. We have a minivan and it makes it much less snug in the very back seat with this car seat. I love that it has two cup holders. That is super helpful with toddlers who want snacks and a drink in their seat. Two cup holders make for less spills of their snacks and drinks. I love how easy this car seat is to install. Having two cars, we change our car seats out from one car to the other fairly often and ease of installation is a huge plus for our family. This car seat feels sturdy and I have confidence that it will last a long time. I received this car seat as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Space Saver As a mother of 4 I’ve dealt with my fair share of car seats. I haven’t had a toddler in 6 years so my mind kind of forgot all the small crucial details when looking for a convertible car seat. I drive a 2015 Jeep Compass and until recently my youngest (16 months and 25lbs) was still riding in her infant car seat. It was becoming harder to put the seat in and carry out so we were looking for a convertible option and it became a harder process than I thought. I am 5’4 and my husband is 5’7 and most convertibles are big at the top making them impossible to fit unless we adjust the driver/passenger seats and drive awkwardly. When the Century Drive On 3-in-1 All in One Car Seat arrived I was excited to unbox it and installed it immediately! It comes with a thorough manual as well as a quick installation guide . It took me about 10 min to install rear facing via the latch system to get a good tight fit. I loved that the latch system is on one belt and not two , it really made installation that much quicker especially when pulling to get a tight fit. The only downside is the button to loosen the strap is a little hard so it takes a few tries to fully loosen the strap. One of my biggest struggles with car seats is the harness adjustment when the little ones grow. With the Drive On 3-in-1 All in One Car Seat you don’t have to rethread the shoulder straps anymore! Its really convenient to maneuver up and down to get the right fit. The downside is that you have to readjust the backing where the child will sit otherwise it will get a weird bulking and not lay flat. The size and weight of this seat is the major selling point and they do not disappoint! this seat is great for more compact cars (especially ones that don’t need to have a full rear facing recline). The lightness of this car seat is also great for travel or if you need to install in another car. I can easily carry this seat alone without having to ask someone for help. I also loved the design of the fabric, I usually tend to steer towards black fabrics but the recycled geometric fabric is becoming my new favorite. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Overall a great car seat Overall I like the car seat. The directions are easy to understand and I like that they are setup so you can go to the exact page you are looking for. Example is the pages are color coded, so if you need instructions on forward facing it will lead you to the right page. I like that the manual for the car seat has a place on the car seat so you don’t lose it. My daughter tried it out in the house to figure out height adjustments and straps. For the most part it was easy to install. We placed it in the car and got the buckle all set up for the seat. The hard part was getting the seatbelt tight enough so the car seat wouldn’t move much. Had to put my whole body into it, but once I got it we were good. Luckily I don’t have to take out the car seat very much. If I were moving the car seats more often, like if I needed to put it in a different car, I might think of buying one that is easier and faster to install. Once I got my daughter seated into the car (she is two years old) she was very excited to have two cupholders. One for her drink and the other one for toys or snacks. She was cozy in the seat and was sitting up higher that other seats she has had, so it was nice for her to be able to see out of the car better. Keeps her more entertained to watch things outside. We took a couple hour drive and she slept very well in the seat. The straps around the neck are not very comfortable as other seats we have had. I like that it has the wash me wipe clean seat pad for when you have a spill or stain. The only thing about it is my daughter sometime would get it folded over when getting in the seat. We then would have to readjust it back in place. Would be nice if it had velcro or something to keep it in place better. I love that it is made with recycled plastic and it’s good for baby, child and big kid. Saves money when you only have to buy one seat. Although I would probably wait to use it later when baby is older. Hate taking a little baby in and out of the seat when they are sleeping and you need to go into the store. So I didn’t have my baby (2 months old) try it out. When picking out a car seat I like to buy the ones that are darker in color, so if it gets stains on it they are not as noticeable. So I would more likely buy one with darker color and not this one with lighter colors. I would like to thank Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me this car seat to try out. We will continue using this car seat and are happy with it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great eco seat I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I had never heard of the Century brand before receiving this. When reading about the product features, I was impressed by the recycled materials used to make the seat and the one hand strap removal. Upon unboxing, I noticed the seat was very light and had an interesting look. It was a clean white/light grey and grey design that made it seem modern but the overall design kind of reminded me of a retro car seat. I did not find this model "slim" but I do not like the slim models anyway so I was happy that my baby fit comfortably in the roomy seat. I also like that she can be in a nice sitting up position rear facing because past seats have forced her to sit too reclined or too slouched forward. This seat gives her the perfect posture when rear facing. I did not try this seat in any other modes since it is not appropriate yet for my baby but I am looking forward to using this seat for many years as it is suitable to use forward facing and as a big child booster seat. The only con to this seat is the weird bottom bar that must be engaged a certain way under the seat depending on if you are using it rear or forward facing. I found when rear facing the bar that needs to be clicked underneath gave weird points of contact for the car seat against the seat and the car seat did not seem as firmly placed in the seat as others where the whole bottom of the car seat makes contact. I have not used it forward facing where the bar clicks in another way to see if the seat makes contact better in that mode. I did eventually get the seat in where I felt comfortable enough with its stability but installation was extra confusing with that bar and I wished it wasn't there. I'm also not sure if I don't release the harness straps like everyone else but this harness was not one hand friendly in the way I do it. If I were just going to unbuckle the chest and groin buckles I could see how this would be okay one handed, but I like to loosen the straps a bit before unbuckling and like all other seats I've tried it is not possible one handed. The groin buckle was very easy to release one handed. The chest buckle was a little difficult but definitely I could see how it was designed much more one hand friendly than my other car seats that require a two finger pinch and push. Overall, the installation was not ideal but everything else on this seat is great. It's a no frills comfortable car seat with a pleasant design and a perk that it is more eco friendly than other car seats.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A great car seat that grows with your child I really like this car seat and my little guy seems to really like it too! The thing I liked best was how easy car seat was to install. And how easy it is to convert to fit my child's size. I did not get to try out the infant seating as my son is past that stage, but I love that they looked out for comfort and safety of the infant and that it grows so it lasts the whole way through the car seats stages of childhood! That saves so much money!!! I also like that the car seat was made thinking about our environment by using recycled materials in the fabric of the car seat. I feel like the car seat was very stylish too. The only problem I had was getting the latch system to work, it almost reached all the way but not quite. However I do wonder if it's just our vehicle. We drive a big Ford Transit because we have a large family (7 kids). We are going to be changing vehicles soon (as two children are off to college and we don't need so many seats) and I am wondering if we won't have better luck with the latch system in a normal size vehicle. I did end up using the seatbelt and following manufacturers directions and I secured the seat just fine that way. So it doesn't negatively affect how I feel about this car seat. I received the Century Drive On 3 in 1 all in one car seat through the Stellar Product testing panel. The ease of how this car seat grows with your child is fantastic. I've had lots of car seats over the years and none have been this parent friendly. They are usually a headache to rethread the seatbelt and re-secure everything but not so with this model. I was not an irritated tired parent after installing this car seat!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fabulous car seat that grows with your kiddos I was thrilled to get this car seat via the Stellar Panel Product Testing Panel as my 1-year-old is just outgrowing his infant seat. I love that this stylish and versatile car seat can take my LO from infancy all the way to a booster chair. Massive bonus points that it's made from recycled products! I installed the seat rear-facing via the LATCH system in my car and it did take a few tries to ensure it was fully installed. That said, my kiddo LOVES his new comfy spot. The slim design makes my backseat so much more comfortable for a third passenger between this and my older kiddo's car seat. Thanks again to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat. Wonderful to know that we can enjoy it for years to come as my LO grows.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lightweight convertible My family has used both infant and convertible car seats. I drive a midsize SUV and my husband has a smaller commuter sedan. I wanted to have the option of having 2 car seats in both cars. I was excited to receive the opportunity to try the Drive-On 3-in-1. It was given to me by Stellar-Product Testing Panel to try. I was 38 weeks pregnant when I received the car seat. I was surprised by it's size and weight. I found it was easy for me transport. I made a few adjustments prior to installing: the headrest and the buckle. However I could not install the car seat myself at the time. I had my husband install it in his car, rear facing using the LATCH system. It is important to me that my children be able ride rear facing for as long as possible. The weight and height limit is 40 lbs and 49 inches respectively. My toddler wanted to climb into the seat as soon as they saw it. I was told that it was comfortable and they looked to have plenty of leg room. Things I liked: -size and weight -non-rethread harness -my toddler liked it - ease of tightening harness -can grow with child Things to improve: - adjusting the buckle was not intuitive. Was not even sure how to access the buckle. There is a section in the manual that references how to clean and that it should not be under the child but not how to adjust -it took several attempts to feel that the car seat was secure enough to using the LATCH system -my preference for making sure car seat is level is a ball or bubble vs a line that has to be parallel to the ground (seems more subjective to me)

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy simple and smooth I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It took me awhile to get it out of the box because I was not looking forward to installing another car seat. But once I finally did it was SO easy. I think it was easier than most other car seats I’ve installed. I could fit it right next to another car seat- it’s tight but it works. It looks really comfortable and my son said it is! I also like the straps, they are smoother to use for some reason. The only part I don’t like is the chest clip is hard to get use to with unbuckling. But that’s not a big problem. Overall I would recommend!
