When installed correctly, car seats save lives. Yet, 4 out of 5 times they?re not. And there?s no easy way to check. We believed it had to be better. That?s why we created the 4moms self-installing car seat. It installs itself correctly by automatically leveling and tensioning, verifies the installation before every ride, and then continuously monitors its status during use to ensure it is always correctly installed, giving you complete peace of mind every time you put your baby in the car.

Not Worth it For The Price - Review Update
May 30, 2017
Website only allows 1 review, I had to sign in as a different user with a new email.

Update to my first review. Just read the reply to my review but it wasn't in time. After 2months of use, I'm on my second set of dead batteries. Update takes 20-30min, time will tell if this helps. I'm now getting an error message saying "carrier not connected". Base does not turn off and I'm unable to clear the message, I would assume this is why the batteries are dead.
What a piece of junk this seat has been. As stated in my previous post, seat is safe but I have ran into problem after problem. Base stays in the car at all times, I'm constantly having to reset the base due to errors saying not connected. Not sure what is making it think its off, base hasn't moved in 2months. Please read this if considering buying. I'm currently speaking to the store I bought this at for a refund or exchange.

Best infant seat ever
April 23, 2017
I bought this seat about a month ago, when i recieved it and registered it a notice of recall popped up and it gave me the option to file a claim which i did and i received a new seat in a week. My car is beyond impossible to install a carseat into which is why i chose this seat and it does its job. I love how easy it is to use, how it monitors throughout the car ride and it looks nice oh and not to mention there's no threading of straps when baby gets bigger. I absolutely recommend this seat.

Not Worth it For The Price
March 19, 2017
Bought this seat and base 3 months ago, installed it to have it ready and just found out today that the batteries are dead. How is this possible, we haven't even used it? First red flag whem purchasing was it needed 8 D cell batteries but I looked past that and made the purchase.

Hospital has to do a seat test and this is when I found out that the batteries were dead. Not a single nurse or Dr has seen or heard of this car seat and it took some time to figure out how to level it manually. I assumed that this seat would work fine and didn't bother bringing the manual, that's my fault. But for the amount of money spent on this seat, this is c***. I'll be looking into returning this and getting a new seat that the hospital recommends and does not require power to use.

I'm sure this seat is perfectly safe but as stated in another post, be prepared to purchase a ton of batteries. This seat is not worth it for the price IMO.

One problem after another
March 12, 2017
We got this car seat about 2 months ago, my boyfriend was so fascinated with how easy it was to connect the car seat with the base with out choice of putting seat belts on or not, ONE month past, and the battery's the car seat came with died! With no warning ⚠️ I didn't understand what had happened at first , you simply get a blank screen like if the carrier was damaged , after I realized the battery's were dead I replaced them, and suddenly it started to say carrier not on propertly over and over again, and there's nothing that helps you understand what you could possibly be doing wrong once you connect the car seat to its carrier , over all, it's not worth the cost this car seat costs with all the problems it comes with. And you'd be saving yourself a ton of money because the battery life is horrible !! Don't recommend

Awesome car seat!
October 5, 2016
I was lucky enough to product test this car seat for 8 weeks prior to its release. The installation with the app is a breeze. You do have to download and install the software which takes about 25-30 minutes. It was no big deal, I just made dinner while it downloaded. The app allows you to scan the VIN in your car to give you the best location for the seat and uses your phone as a level to determine the angle and level the seat properly. The only thing you have to do it attach the clips to the LATCH system in your car. The base does the rest! The app works with the Bluetooth in the car. Once the seat is installed it will continuously monitor the level, tension, battery life, carrier, and child size while the Bluetooth is connected. It also has a function that alerts you if the carrier is left in the car with baby inside. (You can never be too careful). The carrier itself is very sleek looking. It had a nice removable pad for when the baby is smaller. The head rest also slides up when the straps need adjusted. No more threading the straps through the back of the seat. My baby was very comfortable in the seat which is also important. The peace of mind that this seat is always installed correctly is worth the price. I would highly recommend!!
