So I haven’t used the actual car seat yet, as baby not here. However, to fit this piece of equipment was soooo easy. Clipping to your car and the easy signalling lights an sounds to confirm it was in correctly has been great for first time mum. Only weakness is that the instruction manual isn’t the clearest on how to remove the seat from the base. Spent a good 20 mins working this out but once I had very easy to use. - Strengths:

One of my top purchases for my little one! Makes life so much easier being able to quickly clip the car seat in and out without having to bend over and mess around with the seatbelt. I feel like baby is much more secure and you know is clipped in properly by both the light and sounds telling you so. I chose the family fix as I knew it would grow with us as a family, allowing me to first use it with the pebble car seat and as baby got bigger, onto the pearl car seat.
An absolute must have purchase. -

This isofix was well used with my daughter. I felt she was safe and secure in the car. The car seat was easy to clip in and remove and the isofix was easy to install. Only issue is that the support leg was difficult to move. But once in place it doesn't have to be moved again - Strengths:

Best thing we ever bought.
Used with baby seat in the back.of 3 cars, easy to move from one to th other.
Once it's in you don't have to do anything and taking the baby seat on and off was so easy.
Only down side was getting the supporting leg out from the folded position. Always struggled with that but once it's in the car it's not going anywhere and you can forget all about it. - Strengths:

I am constantly getting my little boy in & out of the car for the school run. The isofix base means i can safely get him in the car while i sort out my little nephew.
Extremely easy to use with the beeps indicating when the seat is in correctly. East instructions on how to fit the base & explained everything i need to know.

This isofix is perfect, one of the best things we bought. Fits into the car so easy and does not even take 20 seconds to put in it’s so quick. The only problem I find is releasing the car seat from this it can be a little stubborn to let go but I see that in a good way that my daughter isn’t moving anyway and is in there safe. - Strengths:

We brought this on recommendation of a family member and we were not disappointed.
We used this with our first born and found it so easy to use and was an all round god send.
We own a small 3 door car and the base fit perfectly. We managed to install this with ease. With it having the light up feature it gives so much peace of mind that it is installed correctly.
We were able to use this as our child grew making sure we used compatible car seats and we are thrilled with the purchase. Although it is on the pricey side it made up for this through its ease of use and versatility over the 18 month period it was in use. - Strengths:

We purchased this car seat base to make loading our new born in and out of the car much easier, following my C Section- which it most certainly does!
The product is easy to install, easy to use and secure. It is also compatible with the next car seat when we require it so therefore it is worth every penny! - Strengths:

Overall great purchase, easy to manoeuvre from one car to another. It becomes a slight struggle when baby is nearing the end of fitting into car seat with weight but doesn’t that affect all appliances? Safe, effective and easy to keep clean if your little one likes to make a mess - Strengths:

<p>I love this isofix base, I use it with my <a href="https://www.consobaby.co.uk/cabriofix-car-seat-maxi-cosi.html">maxi cosi cabriofix car seat</a>. It's easy to use, the car seat just clips right in, no need to mess about with the seatbelt. The base makes a beep so you know that the car seat is safe and secure Although it is quite bulky so use with a small car would probably be a little difficult. Overall I highly recommend this product if you are interested or using a maxi cosi compatible car seat, it honestly makes getting in and out of the car with baby a million times quicker and easier.</p> - Strengths:

I was told this item was a must have before purchasing it and it definitely is! It has made putting the car seat in the car so much easier. No stretching across or going round the other door to clip in the seatbelt and just with one simple click or beep, you feel like your baby is so much more secure than it would be from just popping a belt over the seat.

I love how easy this is to fix into place and with the lights and beeps to confirm it is attached correctly then you can rest assured that your little one is as safe as possible.
This is a definite life saver, especially when you have more than one child, as the car seat just clips in place so there is no need to spend time trying to install with a seat belt.
In my opinion the cost is definitely out weighed by the ease of use. - Strengths:

This product is so easy to use, is great that the 3 green lights tell you when the car seat is fully in place. It saves so much time rather than having to fiddle around with the seat belt to fix the car seat in place. Although a little expensive I’d definitely recommend. - Strengths:

Perfect car seat to use on multiple car seats and is really easy to install in the car with isofix. Easy to put in car seats if you need to take car seat out and so easy to put back in with little disturbance for babies. Also when they upgrade to the next level car seat easy to install the next car seat. Both car seats where brilliant for my daughter must be very comfortable as she slept of a long time in both seats. - Strengths:

We wanyed to be able to take the baby with the car seat everywhere and wanted it to be easy and be able to use it later on. That is why we chose to buy this product and it was the smartest move ever. With a click of a button I can take the car seat out of the car or put it back in safely as it has a light that switches on green when everything is ok and also a noice to confirm that car seat is locked/unlocked. The base was a bit heavy but once you put it in the car it can be left there so no need to move it all the time. - Strengths:

<p>Great base very easy to use and reassuring. Workable with both my pebble and Pearl car seats which baby looks comfy in. Fits well in both our quashqai and clio and easily Installed in both.</p>
<p>Only downside is that it isn't compatible with two way I size <a href="https://www.consobaby.co.uk/pearl-car-seat-maxi-cosi.html">Pearl car seat</a> so I was forced to buy the pearl. Although I have got another isize group 1 seat and my son couldn't go rearward facing for long as his legs were so scrunched up.</p> - Strengths:

This product is very easy to fit and it my eyes very safe. It’s sturdy and very reliable.
The only problem I ever encountered and that isn’t the bases’ fault is that when my daughter turned 2 and half she then wanted to sit in the front with mummy when it was just us in the car so I had to buy another car seat otherwise I had crying for the whole journey. - Strengths:
