This travel car seat is amazing! Was hesitant to pull trigger based on cost but I’m so glad I did. We traveled to FL with our toddler and this seat was a lifesaver! So lightweight and portable! Also easy to install and uninstall in Uber or taxi from airport to our final destination. Comes with a travel bag to transport and easily fits in large suitcase when folded. Green color very pleasing and gender neutral. Our toddler measures in 75 percentile for height and was still able to see our window while strapped in. Would really recommend to anyone looking for a travel car seat option.

We use this when we fly once a month from the east coast to the west coast. Definitely buy the backpack carrier. Easy setup on the plane and it’s FAA approved. Then we use it in the rental car. The installation is a breeze.

Looks good and works as described. However I don't know how it holds up in an actual accident. The crotch buckle is still too short and was uncomfortable for my oldest child. This would be of good use when traveling, and for compact packing, but I think it's just fine to use a lightweight convertible car seat (weighs the same as the WAYB Pico) and an inexpensive bag to carry through the airport. It's too expensive unless you're traveling with your kids a couple times a year, which I don't think many are doing at the present moment...

Great seat for smaller cars with expensive leather upholstery. Lightweight and easy access.

Light weight and essay to carry after use

Things I love:

1. Truly fits into a backpack- easy and lightweight
2. Yes it is expensive, but when you consider the hassle of checking a regular carseat or the cost of renting at your destination- this makes a lot of sense!
3. It is super easy to use on a plane, and it made my toddler feel like he was in his carseat (i.e. he didn't feel like he could ask to get out and he didn't try)

One annoying thing, as others have mentioned- the crotch strap is too short and that will limit the time we can use this as each kid grows. I don't know why- hopefully they improve this.

I have borrowed my friend's seat one too many times and finally got our own one of these! My child much prefers this over the more "standard" travel car seat and as parents, we love it for the ease of bringing it around!

Purchased mostly for travel but very much useful for carpool/the occasional "additional kid to pick up from school" scenario, or visiting family.

I dont know why I held off on buying it for so long!

We love this carseat for travel and everyday use. Super easy to install and uninstall. Holds up great and company was quick to replace when we had an issue with the headrest.

This car seat is perfect for traveling. We also purchased the backpack, and it fits perfectly inside!

I have a smaller almost 3 year old that needed a carseat for the middle 3rd row seat of our Lincoln navigator. First off the carseats safety seems very poor. The design is not comfortable even for a small child, I can't imagine larger children sitting in this at all. The price is completely overrated for the overall quality of the carseat. This carseat does fit in the middle seat however makes it extremely difficult with its design to buckle the other seats, which makes the other kids horribly frustrated. I am a mother of 6 kiddos. I have used many different styles and brands of carseats, and this is by far the worst carseat that we have ever own. Actually this is the only carseat that we can say we dislike.

This car seat is a must if you travel! No more lugging a heavy car seat through the airport again! Very easy to use and so light!!!

Albee gives an awesome healthcare discount, so I happily took advantage of that. I wish we got this sooner bc we’ve had it for one week abs it’s been used several times already, primarily by the nanny. It’s very sturdy yet light weight. It buckles in tightly to the car, so is actually not THAT easy to take in and out. It’s also not very easy to fold for storage. But that’s ok. This is going to be staple during the summer when we travel more. I also wish it came with a booster seat so that my 2.5 yo could see outside the window like in her usual car seat.

This is the way to go if you are traveling with a 3 year old... feels so much safer and more solid than other lightweight travel options out there. It's easy to install, durable, and compact for storing. That said, this is not made for every child. My lanky - tall and skinny - 3.5 year old fits well and rides very comfortably; but we would not be able to use this for my other child who is not as string bean-y. I suggest packing this in a wheeled suitcase (we used a hard shell carry on) if you do not use this on the plane. We have done both. Or, perhaps purchase the bag that is made for it... I have heard good things.

My husband wanted a car seat that my toddler could use in his Porsche 911 and this fits the bill. It's so much easier to install than our britax click tight car seat and our toddler loved being able to try it out. I think that this will come in handy for traveling once COVID restrictions lift a bit in the future as well.

I had been eyeing this seat for quite some time, my 2.5yr old is now big enough where she met the size requirements so I finally pulled the trigger and we are loving the convenience of this seat! The install is super easy, and has allowed us to use Uber/Lyft with no concerns. The folded seat fits easily in the basket of our stroller, so we haven’t had to worry about carrying it around. I purchased this seat in the middle of our travels, so we will use it flying home and I was concerned that it wouldn’t fit on my airport car seat dolly, but it fits perfectly! I am looking forward to installing this seat easily on the plane. If you are an avid traveler, and are considering this seat, you won’t regret it at all!

I’m impressed with this seat. Not only is it super light weight and sleek, the quality is amazing- as it should be at this price point. I feel comfortable using this as a backup seat in Daddy’s car for the few times he needs to bring our 4 year old to activities but also look forward to its ease and convenience while traveling.
My daughter is always complaining that her back is hot, this seat seems to allow the airflow that our other car seats lack.
We chose the Albee exclusive woodland color and I’m so glad we did, it’s so unique and beautiful.

I bought this so I could fit 3 car seats in the back row and it is perfect for my purposes. I’m also excited to have it for travel as it’s super lightweight.

We have been faced with traveling internationally during Covid with a busy 22 month old. This seat was a life saver. We didn’t want a bulky car seat as we were going for several months and US car seats are not legal in our destination. We used it to restrain our busy boy on our first packed domestic flight and then for take off, landing and meals on our long haul flight. It was perfect for our needs and we will continue to use it as a travel seat until we no longer need one. I read a lot of reviews about the crotch strap being annoying, this may be the case for kids not in diapers but it didn’t bother our boy who is on the larger side.

This is my second purchase for my second child. They are easy for travel and easy to install.

My wife and I bought this since we live in NYC and do not have own car. We really like how easy it is to install in ubers or rentals and the fact that my son finds it comfortable for 1+ hour trips. Only negatives I have is that the seat is low, so my son can't see out the window, and the locking mechanism for the seat are both metal, so it's already getting a lot of wear and tear, and we've only used it a handful of times. Overall I 100% recommend.

I've been wanting to buy these ever since they were on Kickstarter but the price of them has held me back. Saw that these were on sale and had to snatch them up ASAP. They did not disappoint. We used to have 2 very big and bulky travel car seats and hated everything about them. These WAYB were a godsend. They are so lightweight and small but very sturdy and secure at the same time. Win win. So quick to set up in our rental car and easy to take out. These save us so much time and effort. We love to travel and will be using these car seats from now on. Our two toddlers also love sitting in these too.

This is a great idea in theory but for the price I wish it had been designed a bit better. I have a little guy who is 3 and a half and small for his age but the seat belt that comes up through his legs is too short so it lands down on his crotch so he can’t put his legs together. And he can’t press the button to let him self out when we get home. So that is disappointing. Otherwise it is very light and simple to use.

This seat was purchased as our alternate car seat in my work truck, and to use during flights (this was just before Covid, ha!). I was drawn to it by the portability and use of sustainable materials. We have yet to test it on a plane (damn you Covid), but it seems like it would be great for that. As a seat, it's...fine. The website states that it meets all US standards regulated by the NHTSA and FAA, as well as FMVSS 213 and 302. I guess my heart rebels at the thought that the gossamer mesh head- and backrest on this seat are equivalent to the mega coccoon of plastic and styrofoam in our everyday britax seat.

But I think I crossed into irritation at this seat with the straps. In a nutshell, they do not slide easily and are a bear to adjust. The top tether was especially difficult, which may be compounded since the seat is installed in the back of a pickup cab. The strap WILL NOT slide through the pinch point metal loop where the tether hook is attached. And for some reason I find the other four strap adjusters (2 for the bottom LATCHes, and 1 on each side for the seatbelt harness) nearly impossible to adjust. It's like you have to pinch the buckle and push the strap through to make it slide. A 2-hand operation, and EACH SIDE of the harness needs to be adjusted. So every ride involves cursing and elbowing the child in the face as I adjust the strap on the far side of the seat.

I do like all the thought that went into making sure the straps and accoutrements would be tucked away when the seat is being toted. The bag the seat came with ripped immediately at the handles, so if we ever fly again, we'll have to come up with a new way to tote it around. This seat is alright, beautiful to look at, and I appreciate the sustainability angle, but still not a perfect product. I would recommend to a friend who likes to travel, but would let them know my hangups.

I really like it, it’s very light so perfect for traveling, easy install. The only thing is that the clips are hard to take off when unbuckling like I had to do it two 3 times and I still would not be able to get it off, I tried it on the airplane also and I went with United and I’m guessing because the seats are smaller he was pushed to much to the front, he looked awkward so I took it off .

We were looking for a safe car seat that would fit in a truck in the middle seat for a trip we were taking. This seat is perfect. It is also perfect for airplane travel and folds up nicely. The only downfall is when our toddler fell asleep we had to find a way to support her head as it doesn’t recline like her other car seat.

I have taken this car seat on a 14 hour international flight to Asia. It came in very handy on the flight especially when I was traveling alone with a 2 year old. My son has always been active but this seat kept him in place during the long flight. When he wanted to relax, I just let him out of the seat and play at the foot rest area. When I arrived in Taipei, Taiwan, it was a cinch to take it with me whenever I needed to be riding in a car. It was a relief for me, for I did not have to look for car seat rental or to beg a family member to spare one during our stay. :)

Just a friendly reminder based on my own experience. When checking in for your flight, some airlines may give you grief on taking the car seat on the plane and want you to check it in instead. Just show them it is indeed FAA approved for in-flight use. The indication label is located on the flip side of the seat. Another problem I ran into was in-flight seating arrangement: A car seat can only be installed on a window seat so be sure of it when you book your flight. I did not know about it when I booked my flight but I was lucky enough to switch with the window person.

We just bought this one for our 2-yr-old to use in our sedan and so far we all love it! We usually take her in our SUV with a Clek installed but since it is super heavy we find it inconvenient to move the seat to our sedan when we have the need. WAYB has always been on our watch list since the beginning before it is even being sold in the store and we are glad to finally made the decision to make this purchase!

Nice seat to use for travel. Light and easy to fold. Not sure what we did before this!

So we travel a lot for work and lugging a real carseat around, renting a car with a car seat for an additional fee or even traveling somewhere and trying to find one for sell for a great price was hard. This has been soooo GREAT and out LO loves it!

I drive a Porsche Carrera S and the backseats are super small. I plan to use this for travel and have been using it in my car. Man oh man has it made life so much easier and my little girl is super comfortable!! There’s nothing that compares to having a simple, super comfortable, compact, safe car seat. I love this. It’s a game changer.

I have a five and a half, three and a half, and one and a half years old kids, we went to Europe, and used the chairs in the plane (8 hrs), in the train (3 hrs average) and in the car.
The sits were not only very comfortable but also very light to carry and install, the cover bag is very convenient for carrying them plus you can add staff on them since they are backpacks.
We are very happy with this chairs and we can’t wait for our next trip to SA to use them!
Highly recommended!!

Just used this for the first time on a 14 hour round trip and very pleased. I was worried about my toddler napping but she slept well- the head support for this is more upright than a regular car seat though, so we had to support her head/neck with a rolled up blanket. As she gets older I’m sure this will be less of a worry. I really love that the seat covers are washable for spills. I also discovered I can use a ‘mommy hook’ to clip onto my travel stroller without it tipping- even without my kid in it! Game changer for city/car-free living.

I was looking to purchase another car seat for my kid then I saw WAYB Pico. I didn't know a (forward facing) car seat can be so light and still pass all the safety tests. I decided to give it a try and so far I really love the fact that it is so easy to use and so light to carry around if necessary. We are planning to travel and now I don't even have to worry about renting a car seat, or not being able to keep my kid safe in a taxi or on an airplane.
