The Solution Z-fix is a well-made childseat.
March 8, 2020
First things first, the seat was packed thoughtfully. I noticed it didn't have any kind of smell (as most plastic products do), which was really nice. I did take a peek at the manual, but assembly did not require it; the back piece snapped into the bottom piece with extreme ease, and the side pieces simply slide down into place.
The manual is short and easy to understand. Some of the manuals I've received from car seats were huge! So this was refreshing to see.
Installation was also ridiculously easy. There are two attachments that slide and snap into the car's latch/UAS anchors. Once those are secure, you simply pull the orange handle near the front and bottom of the seat, and release the latching system from the back by pulling it out and rotating it so that it faces the UAS anchors. Then it simply snaps together! There are color indicators that will convey whether or not you've installed it securely; they will shift from red to green. This was an incredibly thoughtful detail that brought peace of mind to me.
As for the seat itself, it seems sturdy, despite not being overtly heavy. I was able to carry it one-handed, no problem, and it didn't feel excessively awkward or bulky. The material feels water resistant to some degree, which is nice, considering my child is a mess waiting to happen! The fabric also comes off fairly easily and can be machine-washed.
The back is slightly adjustable, and can be pulled forward slightly or pushed back slightly. My only complaint about this feature is the snapping sound the seat makes when you adjust it is a little jarring (I thought I broke something at first...!), but it is a nice feature to have to ensure the seat is installed at the proper angle for your vehicle.
I don't have any real complaints or concerns about this product. It seems like a well-made child-seat and comfortable as well. It was remarkably easy to put together and install, and the material looks like it's a good quality that can take some wear and tear. I'm very happy with this product so far, and I think it'll last us quite some time.
