If you have been debating whether to get this or not, waffle no more!! Yes, it’s expensive. But it’s so worth it!!!! I traveled alone with a toddler and an infant, and I don’t think I could’ve done it without this seat. It fit along with a Nuna Pipa into a car seat travel bag, which I gate checked on American Airlines. It’s lighter than you can imagine, super easy to install, simple to adjust, and Kelsey L. · strolleria.com

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
