Very Happy
Nice comfortable seat for my 2.5 year old who is giving up his previous seat for his younger brother. Very secure, nicely padded, great price from Amazon.

Good all-round car seat
As grandparents we bought this car seat to allow us to take our little granddaughter out. The main problem I had was finding out if it would actually fit our car, and it does perfectly. We have an Audi A3 Sportback. The seat is held in place very securely by the main passenger seatbelt in the back, and is extremely stable. It does not wobble or move in the slightest if it is fitted properly, which is easy to do with the clear instructions. Make sure you push the seat right back as far as possible with your knee while fitting. The headrest is very good, with a nice big head support, and a big plus is that you can adjust the straps very easily without having to take the child out of the seat, which is very handy for changes in weather - one day just a jumper, another day the weather changes and it's time for a thick padded coat. There is an audible 'click' that tells you when the seatbelt is tight enough, which is very good. You know it is fastened correctly and your little one will be safe and comfortable. It also has little side pods to hold a drink or snacks, although we haven't actually used them yet as our granddaughter is only just coming up to one but I'm sure will be very useful as she grows.
My only criticism, although I knew this before we bought it and it wasn't an issue for us, is that there is very little adjustment in the recline department. There is a large plastic wedge underneath the seat which you move either forwards (for recline) and backwards (for upright) before fitting the seat, although in actual fact there is not much of a recline in the recline position at all, but there again this does cover a wide age range and it is a small sacrifice. Our granddaughter sleeps quite comfortably in it, although her head does tend to slump forward, but the head support does stop it wobbling from side to side. But if you particularly wanted a seat that does recline really well then this isn't the one.
As a group 1, 2 and 3 car seat we hope to get years of use out of it, and will not have to buy another seat, or at least not until another grandchild arrives!

Excellent second car seat
Easy to setup and fixes securely - after tugging at the seat belt and using your knee a bit! Loosening the shoulder straps can be a pain and really requires some force - difficult unless both hands are free - definitely not to do when being rained on in a supermarket car park... Shoulder/head protection flaps need to be raised otherwise your little one's shoulders end up being squashed by them. Also if your little one is used to sleeping laid back - as most infant seats are - this will be different as you can't lean the seat back a great deal - certainly adjusting it is virtually impossible without undoing the belt. Definitely recommend this once over 1 year or can hold their head with comfort.
