Reasonably Light Weight & Easy to Install
March 2, 2020
This is a great car seat! While the seat itself is a decent size it is reasonably light compared to a lot of other seats on the market. We remove the seat from the car after every use, so the weight is a big deal for us.
We used this seat with our very active 4yo and therefore removed the harness and utilized the car's seatbelt. One of my favorite features is the location of the seatbelt's shoulder strap guide behind the head rest. In other seats I have used, even when installing the car's shoulder strap through the appropriate slot in the car seat and tightening as much as possible, the strap sometimes slips out of it's guide slot causing it to ride up closer to my son's neck. I absolutely hate that. With this car seat, the seatbelt guide is between the headrest and the back portion of the seat. Therefore, even if it were to somehow slip out of the guide, its positioning prevents the seatbelt from riding up where it shouldn't be.
My other favorite is how easy it is to remove the cover for washing. 4-year-olds are messy, especially in the car, and it is so fast and easy to take off the cover to throw it in the wash. It's a huge time saver.
When you receive the car seat the cupholders are not installed. Versus merely clipping into place, you need to install them with a screw. This was an extremely minor inconvenience, I just found it odd.
Overall, this is a great car seat. It meets all the basics, has an attractive color and has a few bonuses with the weight, ease of cleaning, and seatbelt guide.
