Excellent seat, excellent price
January 22, 2021
This seat met all my expectations - we have an older version of this seat that we've been using for 10 years, and it hasn't changed much. The addition of a cupholder is nice (although I had to find a YouTube video to install it!) and the buckle is much easier to open (great for parents and kids that are responsible for their own buckles, less good for kids that like to unbuckle themselves during the ride). The newer LATCH attachments are also easier to use. This is still the best seat for 3 across, my two older children are riding comfortably on either side of it. And I have full confidence that my child is as safe as we can make him in this seat. It is extremely solid (and heavy) and well made. I like the head protection on the sides, it gives him a place to rest his head when he's tired. We didn't use most of the bonus accessories, but they are nice, and we'd likely have used them if we had an infant. Surprisingly, we didn't receive an installation manual with the seat, but it was easy to look it up online.
Pros
- 3 across
- Low-profile
- Comfortable
- Easy to buckle
- Excellent sale price
Cons
- No installation manual in box (likely a mistake)
- Strap cushions are huge and unwieldy - we chose to remove them. Other seats have more comfortable ones, and we might replace these with something more manageable.
