In their words
“I love the quality and simplicity of the seat, easy to install. My only downside was I didn’t read ahead of time to know it couldn’t be used on a plane, and I couldn’t take it in the cabin with us as it exceeded the size by one inch. Thankfully we hand not thrown out the box, so we put it in with luggage under the plane. We only purchased this for a trip to ensure we had a reliable car seat at our”

“Purchasing this carseat was easy and fast . My disappointment comes from the hard non pad armrest and the flimsy cup holder. Very disappointed in these two items for the price. Seat is easy to install and padded seat is comfy . Just wish they would have used the padding on armrest too !”
