We bought 2 of these when we had a problem getting our Graco Snug Ride @ the correct level in our SUV. After fighting with it for over an hour, we left it in one car just b/c we didn't have the energy to take it back out. We went back to the noodles in the other two cars he rides in. And, they are very expensive!!! Noodles cost what, a couple bucks? These things are over $20! Go for the noodle.

Just before my son's birth, I had our carseat inspected at the local DPS by a certified inspector. Because our carseat did not fit well and was very loose, even with the straps pulled as tight as possible, he recommended the purchase of EITHER a noodle or leveler and mentioned that we might have to try both to find the right fit. Our local DPS office and police station does not provide noodles...so we bought this leveler. It worked well and I recommend trying one out, especially if you are not able to get a free noodle in your city.

I bought this carseat leveler for both mine and my husband's car. It worked after much struggle to get the carseat base in properly, but we ended up taking it out. It kept sliding side to side and the material eventually started to flatten out over time. I know a lot of people like to use the pool noodles, but the material in those break down a lot quicker. I prefer to use rolled towels because they don't slide around as much.

Although this is technically a good idea, it doesn't stay in place well...i needed something because my daughter was 8 weeks early, so i took it with me to the fire department to have my daughter's car seat installed and they told me to take it back...they used the pool noodle instead. Regardless of whether you purchase this item or not, i cannot stress enough the importance of having a car seat base installed correctly...go to the fire or police department...they'll get it right.

I tried this product in every position possible, and after nearly tearing my hair out, I finally gave up and realized that rolled towels worked much better for installing the Britax Roundabout in my Mazda Tribute. The leveler is much too big and has odd angles - it just doesn't work for us.
