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

The only car seat on the market that you don't need a bae for! This seat looks luxury, feels fantastic and is of a really high quality. It easily clicks in and out of the isofix points and you do not need a clunky base, making it so much easier between vehicles! I have already recommended this seat to lots of people and will continue to! Rosie · johnlewis.com
