I would strongly recommend a self-adjusting model, one whose straps (if any) do not have to be manually loosened or tightened through D rings. F-P and maybe others have a seat with straps on a retractor, like auto seatbelts. One other model has straps that are put on loose and then pulled tight at the shield each time. Cosco has one we use that has a self-adjusting shield with no straps. Remember, there's nothing magic about a car seat. If the restraints are not on, or if they are not snug, it isn't worth much.
