Excellent, quality car seat
August 20, 2015
We are so glad we chose this seat for our son's "big boy" car seat. We opted for "Drift" because it saved us money and, in our opinions, the fabric option was just a bell and whistle that we didn't need. We were able to snatch this seat on sale, which helped as well. Our budget for a convertible seat was $500 and buying this on sale meant that we could buy two, one for each car. Which, we are so glad we did because compared to his infant seat (Uppababy Vista), this baby is more time consuming and laborious to install. We used the Clek YouTube videos to help with installation. I knocked a star off for installation and the no rethread harness. With such a sought after, high quality, SOLID construction, I am not sure why they still make you rethread the harness. It's a pain. But, overall, this seat is super safe, feels super safe, and our son loves it. He sits up high and can look out the window, let's us strap him in without a fight, and we find it easy to use in our two small sedans (VW Jetta and Olds Alero).
Pros
- Fits in small cars, super safe, comfortable
Cons
- no rethread harness, expensive even without the fancy crypto fabric
