Pros: Push to rotate handle, fits stroller
Cons: Base fits poorly in minivan Captains seat, plastic belt adjuster durability questionable
The Bottom Line: Look closely at belt adjuster before buying. Fits well with lap belt. Base may not fit in outer seating position.

| qjohn's Full Review: Evenflo Cozy Carry 5 Infant Car Seat |
Review for Cozy Carry 5 rear facing infant car seat. Five way harness and 3-position harness height are nice safety features. Handle can be rotated using only one hand. Belt is tightened from back of seat using plastic mechanism.
Base did not fit in second row captain's chair in 1995 Honda Odyssey -- the shoulder harness interferes with the seat, so it cannot mount. Probably would fit if using a locking clip, but the required slack in seatbelt to do so is not good. Base fits well in center rear seat of 1990 Taurus and 1992 Protege. Sharp edges on seatbelt guide make me worry about abrasion of vehicle shoulder harness.
Rear adjustment of harness length is , in my opinion, of poor design. Pull on harness to tighten and the adjuster is likely to pull out. I prefer the metal mechanisms on seats from other vendors.
