What owners single out
In their words
“I purchased this car seat a couple of weeks before birth. My son was born premature which was completely unexpected but I had zero issues with putting him in the car seat safely. I would definitely recommend this car seat to first time parents. Pros: Extremely easy to install into car! Very sturdy and parts seem to be strong and not flimsy Cons: none so far :)”

“The infant car seat was delivered like this. Oil all over the box, who does this? I haven't opened it yet and I'm going to take it back to the store cause the amount of oil has surely gotten inside.”
