I was sent this carseat complementary from bzz agent to try and review. I have to say that I love it! It's so lightweight and all the extra padding for newborns is the perfect touch. It hugs my little one and she looks so comfortable. Not to mention puts me at ease that she is safe and secure. The adjustable base allows for the perfect position that I have never been able to get with any other car Nikky · shop.doreljuvenile.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
