Buyers' weakest aspect—comfort & fit—aligns with critics' note that the seat may feel uncomfortable initially, as some children resist the transition to it.

In their words

We love this seat! It fits better, less bulky than regular car seats, can be used for a very long time. We have a 5yr old who has long legs, and weighs about 40 lbs and needed a different option than traditional seats have., the child can actually buckle herself in, with parental guidance. Cannot unbuckle without adult doing it. Straps are comfortable. Straps adjustable.

Our 9 month old was outgrowing her infant carrier so we bought two of these and I was so so disappointed. She had never had any troubles going to car rides but as soon as we moved to these she started screaming as soon as we got her in and then proceeded to scream the whole car ride. After two weeks I was ready to just buy new car seats. Luckily my friend told me there were additional padding you
