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

I love this car seat. Both of my babies used it and it’s so underrated in the USA but used all around the world especially in high end cities. The material for cushion is so much softer than the other popular brands! I know my baby is comfortable for long car drives in this! The adjustable strap positioning without having to retread is also a huge game changer in the market! Maddie · Target
