Great Seat
October 29, 2021
I bought the be for my first granddaughter when she was a toddler, it was so comfortable for her even in long trips. And it's light and easy to install. I bought another one for my 6 month old granddaughter and she's very comfortable in it as well. I gave it for stars instead of 5 because it only goes to 59 pounds and the crotch buckle could be out a little farther for bigger kids.

Installation trouble
August 30, 2021
I bought this for my mother and MIL to use in their cars. For the life of me I can not get it installed tight enough to feel safe with it. I even sit in it myself while the seatbelt/anchor tether get tightened and it still moves way more than an inch in every direction possible.

Not practical
November 18, 2020
Light weight and decent car seat until 18 months. After that, when the children keep growing, the straps are not long enough to fit the age. The bucket is real short, and digs into the child. My children are 2 and 3 years old, and they weigh 32lbs, and have already outgrown the chair. Have to replace it already.

Easy to use, great for travel
December 16, 2019
I use this car seat as a backup seat for my kid, and for travel. It's way easier to install than any other car seat I own in varying price ranges and weights. I've brought it on flights both in the passenger area and checked it. I feel safe with my kids in it, and my toddler prefers it over other seats so it must meet her minimum comfort bar. I've washed the cover multiple times and it's always easy to take off and reassemble. Would buy again. I'm really happy with it!

probably not safe
October 27, 2019
I found this site because I was trying to see if it needed a base or extra equipment to install. We can not tighten this seat enough for it to be safe. When we do manage to get it right, the seat feels like it's going to flip forward if we get in an accident. I took this seat out for a day to haul a different child and I horribly regret it. If I manage to get this seat in again it'll stay there until he out grows it.

Would not recommend
August 27, 2019
Found it extremely difficult to install. I was unable to tighten any of the straps enough so it was moving less than the recommended 1 inch with the anchors or belt.

Also there does not appear to be much padding and does not feel comfortable to sit in, were I able to actually use it.

This seat is good for a lightweight travel seat or spare seat. Not not for everyday. Theres no padding and the cover is constantly fall off on the top of the seat.

A good spare seat
October 1, 2016
My mother in law purchased this seat back in June 2014. I had heard mixed reviews on it. It was easy to use and easy to install. I just wish the height and weight were higher. My now 3 year old daughter was too tall for it by 2.5 years. I would have given it a five star but the height, weight, and harness straps dropped a star. The harness was forever getting twisted and untwisting it was a trick.
