This car seat is the best infant car seat I’ve ever had. The biggest plus has to be the automatic strap and headrest adjuster, being safety conscious this is fantastic. The extended life for this seat is also a huge plus. The padding is fantastic for both newborn and non newborn phase. The tilt is great no floppy head while in the car. The integrated sun shade is just another example of a superior Mumof5 · argos.co.uk

We had this car seat for my first son & used for 13 months. We loved the easy install without the base for Ubers/traveling & grandma’s car. The only things I don’t love about this car seat are: 1- it is not compatible with non-baby jogger strollers & 2- it is on the heavier side. Still, it is a really great car seat for a solid price. We bought the travel system on Amazon Prime deal for $499! Jconno18 · Baby Jogger
