Nearly perfect, some difficulties installing.
August 24, 2019
What a lightweight, easy, and sleek looking car seat! I was given this product to try out as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel and when it arrived, it was SO easy to get out and set up. It basically came completely ready to go right in the car and at first glance, it is seriously so good looking. I love the feel of the fabric-very soft, but also sturdy, so you know it can be cleaned multiple times and hold it's quality. I immediately noticed the varying inserts that you can use for smaller infants, and although our little one is not so little anymore, I look forward to trying this out on his younger brother/sister! It was relatively easy to attach to the car via the LATCH or seatbelt system. We used the LATCH system and needed to make sure that we adjusted the angle of the seat before we attached, because it's very difficult to adjust the recline once installed. My favorite feature BY FAR is these little wonderful strap holders so when putting the child into the seat, you don't have to struggle with getting the straps from underneath them once sitting. This seriously is a lifesaver. Overall, between the look, feel of fabric, ease of use, and safety features, I really really wanted to give this seat 5 stars. However, the one thing that tripped me up was the fact that once installed, the seat seems to easily pull up from the back of the unit (when installed rear facing) EVEN with extra support stuck under the front end (pool noodle, rolled up towel, etc...). We tried tightening it every which way and backwards to the sun and after an hour of cussing and seating, we gave up. We tried installing it with the seat belt feature, and that didn't seem to do much better. Overall, I realize this could be due to 1) car type, and 2) installer incompetence :) so we will try again with different cars and different installers and see what happens! I would imagine that this seat would work wonderful for parents who don't need to move it and have better vehicles.
