Sturdy - but installation is such a headache
May 16, 2021
Bought this to be our regular car seat given its stellar safety reputation and the FR-free Mammoth wool (harder to find than you would think), and have a Britax in a second car. While the Foonf has held up well and feels very sturdy and safe, the installation is a complete nightmare- despite reading instructions and watching multiple you tube videos, it took ~2 hours to install it rear-facing, and then another 1.5 hours to turn it around when it was time. Every time you have to make any sort of adjustment, you basically have to take the entire thing apart, and it is not intuitive in the least. I am usually good at sorting through product manuals and figuring out assembly/installation, and have had no problem with the Britax, so was disappointed to find this so difficult to install and that it did not come up more in reviews.
Pros
- Flame retardant free
- Sturdy/safe
Cons
- Installation and adjustments are SO complicated
- Would not purchase again for this reason
