We love this carseat. Baby is comfortable in it and will sleep or just hang out during car rides. The materials are plush and easy to remove for cleaning. We brought our babe home in this carseat and the infant insert was so great when he was tiny. I really like the adjustable head/straps feature too. Super easy and I feel like I make it just a little bigger every time I put my baby in. Ashley · strolleria.com
