Roger and Sue of Lantz, Nova Scotia (6/28/03):
We were required to return our infant daughter's Evenflo Port-About Carseats for the following reasons: the carrier seat constantly became stuck in the base and could not be removed. The handle that you pull out to unlock the seat became stuck the majority of times, even though we ensured that the seat was properly installed (and that it was being used properly) by having it inspected by an individual certified in Carseats safety.

As a result, we would have to take the baby out of the seat altogether and carry her in our arms - not an easy feat when attempting to do groceries, etc.! This also tends to wake a sleeping baby, resulting in a cranky baby!! We would then have to fight with it to eventually free it from the base after we returned home. - the carrying handle, after we would ensure that it had "clicked" into the upright position for carrying, would suddenly release, throwing the seat (and the baby) forward towards the ground. This never happened when the baby wasn't strapped in, but if it had, she would have flown right out of the seat to the ground. In any event, it gave her quite a jolt when she fell forward while strapped in and gave us quite a scare as well.

Also, the sunshade would not stay attached to the seat and would not click into position, falling completely forward instead of positioning over the baby's head to protect it from the sun. In short, we were very dissatisfied with this Carseats and returned it to Sears and bought a different model made by "Safety 1st". So far, we have not had any problems with the new seat.
