I was so hyped to get this to replace my current car seat which came with a stroller it was very cheap and poorly made and this one did not disappoint it's totally worth the money its really easy to change the recline position and adjust the height and straps it only took about 15 min to figure out where everything goes. The cup holders lock in place too which was a cool surprise the material is really nice too
It is a bit bulky id say u could fit two comfortably in a small four door car

This was the best option for our needs with hip flexibility. The strap system is horrible though. The buckle slots are so wide they constantly get twisted and things get inside out. After using some other brands and seeing who easy they are, this seat was a bit frustrating. Also the store/supplier we bought from definitely was selling salvaged items as "new."

We've had a lot of car seats between our two kids -- Chicco, Graco, Cosco, Evenflo and now a Maxi Cosi. Our favorite was always the Chicco but the Maxi Cosi comes pretty close. It's very easy to install -- one downside is that they hide the LATCH clips perhaps for older kids who use the seat belt with it so it's a bit of a pain to get out but it's a one time issue. Once it's installed, it's very snug, doesn't move around at all (we're using it front facing since our son is 2.5 years). My biggest pet peeve with most car seats is the ease of clipping the seat buckles and tightening the straps but this one is VERY easy to do and you can get a really snug fit for your kid. My son has been very comfortable in the seat -- we've had no complaints. The biggest benefit of this car seat is that you can use it starting at a really young age and it goes till 10 years. We got it when my son was a toddler but hope to use it for years to come. Also, if this is helpful, we use it in a minivan and have two car seats in our middle row -- I don't find it too bulky at all.

I bought this car seat on amazon deal days because it seemed like a good deal, i was really wanting a graco 4ever seat because my older son is already in one of those and seems to like it and it's pretty easy to operate plus i didn't want one to think the others seat is better. Well they weren't on sale and i thought well I'll give this seat a try. SO HAPPY that i did i now wish my other son had this seat too! My son that's in the maxi cosi would cry every time we would get in the car it was painful but he never cries now he loves his new seat and it makes our life better too! It's super easy to operate and it's really high quality. The strap pads hold his head steady when he falls asleep instead of falling over in an uncomfortable position. It's also easy to get him in and out of. I totally recommend this seat to anyone!

I've purchased about four of types of these units over the years as gifts to close friends and relations, and this by far is one of the best on the market to date. It's life utility is truly remarkable: An Entire Decade, and rated by both the NTSB and Insurance Industry as one of the top Five now available. I'm a eternal bachelor, but having been in International and Domestic Logistics, my research of these types of units is based on the following: reports by the NTSB, Insurance Industry Analysis, and various customer based sources: this unit exceeds my expectations. This for a future "Great Nephew," with a due date in Jan. 2019, so had to do some careful and detailed research prior to purchasing. I also note that some hospitals have trained and experienced technicians who will install the thing for a nominal fee, and also instructions can be found on the Internet-Youtube.com. Just remember that infants face rearward towards the seat and later can be turned around. In summary, it is well worth the purchase price (which is commensurately high), but with safety and utility it will give years of service and not need a booster seat when the child gets bigger. On any such units, I recommend that a full cotton bath towel or two be placed between the infant car seat and the car seat itself to preclude or reduce abrasion on the car seating material. With all factors considered, with Child Safety First- it is worthy of the highest considerations to purchase.
