Reviewers praise
- Narrow profile makes it easy to fit three-across or use on airplanes
- Lightweight and straightforward to install with seat belt or LATCH
- Flat back without bulky headrest works well for helmeted children and newborns
Reviewers push back
- Maxes out at forty pounds in both rear-facing and forward-facing modes
- Harness must be manually re-threaded through the seat back to adjust height
- Minimum height of nineteen inches means very small newborns and preemies will not fit
