Overall Great Carseat- Small Flaws
November 1, 2019
I'll start off by saying that I received this car seat to test and review from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but it in no way has affected my review of this car seat. This car seat is an overall, great car seat. I absolutely loved the anti rebound bar, its probably my most favorite feature on a car seat ever. The handle is oddly tall, but carrying it is extremely easy. I was concerned it would be too tall for me (I'm only 5'3) but it's just fine. My biggest pet peeve of carrying car seats is when the handle cuts into my arm, this car seat doesn't do that at all! It's so nice to carry! The base was super simple to hook in, which is great because we switch between cars pretty often so we're always moving the car seat base around. I loved the over-sized hood with the UV protection, it's awesome to be able to just use the hood for sun cover compared to trying to put a cover over top of my baby, which living in a very hot state, isn't the best option for me. With that being said there were some aspects of the hood I didn't like. The main dislike being that the over-sized hood is just that: Over-Sized. You really have to squish the hood in to be able to move the handle, it doesn't fit between the handle at all. I pinched my fingers multiple times trying to mess with the hood and handle together. The hood would be better off skinnier so it could fit under the handle better. My only other complaint pertains to getting the car seat unhooked from the base. My boyfriends truck is lifted, and being pretty short I really struggled to be able to push the car seat up enough off the base to get it to unlatch. It's not so much an issue in a normal sized car, but if you struggle to reach to begin with, the car seat seems to have a higher latch on the base than other car seats, which definitely made it hard for me. Over all this car seat is a great, extra safe option!
