Is this safe to keep on the seat while in the car?

I wouldn't because it is a plastic breakable item that would probably come apart or off the car seat in an impact or accident that reduces the stability inside the car. The chance of your baby becoming injured if this broke or if it hit him in some way (perhaps from other objects coming loose inside the car) is not worth the risk. I used with my kids, and will use with my grandkids, safe plastic toy links with toys attached because tons of little things can be attached to those, even a binky tether. You can also easily change the toys from hard to soft and in between. Just don't make the links long enough for him to wrap them around his neck while you're busy driving.

Yes. I make sure to re-tighten the claws at each trip. My daughter can now grab things and has pulled it down. It never injured her, just was pulled down.

Anything added to a car seat makes a car seat less safe. That is really a personal choice but the toy packaging does tell you not to use while in a moving vehicle.

Depends...my son pulls its out so for us it isnt. I use it for the shopping cart and it entertains him a lot. It doesnt fit our covertible evenflo seat

Probably. It isn't too well attached to take back seat but if the back seat is down it should be ok.

No. This is a car seat that you leave in the car. http://www.bobgear.com/carseatadapter

Yes. Short of sitting in it myself, I keep pressing down on the seat and pulling the strap, from both sides of the car. Additionally, we've taken the anchor strap used in the forward facing position and clipped it to the bar under the rear seat. This does help it feel more secure.

I haven't used mine in the car but yes the clip is very secure. I don't think you would have any issue with it.

Technically, I don't believe there are any seats that say it is "safe" to leave the handle up while traveling for liability reasons. However, I always travelled with it in the carry (up) position as my child had a toy bar for entertainment and it was always very safe and secure. It did not impact the safety values of the seat at all.

I have had no problems with the under siding of the seat cover. We use it every day, and it does stay in the car most of the time, but when I have removed it to use the seat for people, it has shown no wear

Yes but not as safety feature. The latch is to keep the seat in place when not in use..

I use it when driving and it has been a life saver on long trips. It keeps it's shape, it's alitle more resilient than others I've tried. If your trying to use it to elevate yourself it will only raise your seat by about an inch,not sure that might help.

I have had it for almost a year and I have yet to sit my child in it because I still put the car seat in it. But the material isn't very prone to getting dirty and if you wipe it down with a cloth then it should get clean very quickly.

I have two of these and both of them are in trucks. I would think that in a backseat you shouldn't have a problem.

I love it in my chair in the living room. I wont sit on any chair without it. I do not know how it would be in a car. It may slide some on leather seats.

I had this on my daughter's car seat handle since birth. It securely attaches to the handle. I don't see how it could be hazard. Packaging says 6 months+. She is now 16 months old & has graduated to a car seat with no handle. I'm trying to figure out a way to still use this.

Yes. The seatbelt holds the car seat in place. It goes across the back of the carseat. This Lookout car seat is not only good for their safety but helps prevent car sickness. Our little girl, a 14 pound Shih Tzu, loves looking out of the window and it is big enough for her to sleep in.

The infant insert (the patterned part) is sort of slippery, not very soft and could possibly be a little hot. When that is removed the fabric underneath is very soft and breathable. I feel like this carseat is very safe, just make sure the chest strap is placed at or slightly above the arm pits as the straps are a little wide. In an accident the straps could easily fall of the shoulder if the chest strap is low.

I am not certain what you are asking but I carry mine in a minivan so it is in the passenger compartment. It is small so it will fit in small places and very stable so I don't think it will tip over or spill and the odor is minimal but noticable.

You can leave it in the hot car if you want. If your not on a trip I would suggest taking it down and put it in the glove box. Keeps people from breaking in your car too.
