I did lots of research on lots of different car seats and this one was one of my favorites. After researching I’m glad I went with this one! It has the comfiest seat and lots of padding for your little one. Seriously looks so comfortable to be in. Also has lots of safety features that I liked. The canopy is absolutely silent which won’t wake up your baby. The fluffy headrest is very adjustable and May · Target
