I bought this on pre-order and it arrived before baby came. Initially, I was not the happiest— kind of questioned my purchase, honestly. Our son wasn’t born yet and I was expecting to wool to be, well, softer. I also noted that it WAS quite heavy compared to the Nuna I looked at in-store, after pre-ordering my PP Nido. I felt committed, because I had ordered, received, and opened the additional base. I tried to remind myself the reason I ordered.... SIX WEEKS of research, including joining consumer reports and looking into the manufacturing and openness on chemicals and FR’s.
Then baby came. And... I LOVE this seat. It feels safe. I don’t have to rethread the harness and love the adjustable side impact protection. I’d prefer the heavier seat, rather than wondering what was skimped on to make it lighter. The canopy is awesome! It covers my son to his feet when extended. I use it with a peg Perego booklet and I am SO pleased. It makes it sooo easy!
