    This car seat looks lovely . It's well made. But it's not comfortable if you have a premature or small baby. It's really really hard to fit in the car. We have a 7 seater and the seat belt only just fits to secure it in ! Wouldn't buy again.

    I hated this car seat. We hadn’t bought the isofix base to go with it and for the very short time we used it we ended up frustrated and angry and baby was upset.

    After 4 children and many different car seats I had gotten to the point where fitting car seats was easy, not this one at all. The only time it ever seemed to fit anywhere near properly was tilting it side to side so obviously couldn’t fit it with baby in the seat. Even after fitting it I felt the need to sit and hold it when we went anywhere. We lasted about a week and went and bought a mamas and papas one instead

    I have my car seat to match my pram. I love them both so much. My daughter loves going in both of them.
    I find the car seat very heavy and the handle moves.

    This came S part of a silver cross travel package so was free. However I would never have bought it. We were advised by the shop assistant that they were not to the safety or comfort standards of other car seats and in spite of being officially tested in both of my cars (OK by the manufacturer) upon fitting, my newborn was titled forward - head to chest.
    We sold this item on to buy another car seat which was far more comfortable, supportive, for the car, and with better testing.

    Great car seat which when used with the isofix base is very convenient and quick to out baby into the car safely. However I find the car seat sits baby up too upright sometimes resulting in her head flopping forward.

    My baby loves this car seat. As soon as he is in it he sleeps the whole time until we take him out. Had so many compliments from friends and family.
    They really like that it comes with a foot muff. Fits easily and quickly in both mine and my husbands cars.

    We love this car seat it’s easy to fasten baby into, easy to fit into the car (we use the seatbelt) and easy to attach to my pram with the attachments.
    My baby always falls asleep in the car seat so it must be very comfy.

    Got this car seat included with my travel system and worked well with it. Baby seems comfortable in the seat but the straps are fiddly to loosen and put around baby- you need both hands free which can sometimes be tricky with a wiggling baby! I think for the price you would have to pay to buy this seat there are better ones available.
    But if you get it included with travel system it’s fine.

    My baby always seems so uncomfortable in this seat, she screams every time. Our rear car seats also slope in to the isofix points which gives the seat less of a recline.
    Babies head often flops looking like it’s cutting off airways.

    Bought this car seat for my daughter as we wanted to use the silver cross pioneer Pram as a travel system. As with all silver cross products the car seat looks very stylish and you can tell that it's high quality. When used with the ISOFIX base it is so simple to get in and out of the car, we used it all the time when she was little... It was a godsend not to have to wake her to get her out of the car! It's possibly a tad more expensive than some of the other car seats on the market but I highly recommend it, especially for the early days.

    This car seat I received for free when I purchased a silver cross pram from mothercare. I have found it to be good quality however i did find it too heavy once my son got to 2 months old. I didn’t purchase the base and I found it easy to transfer to different cars with ease. It only takes me a few mins to secure it in my car. I am glad I didn’t buy the base as it would have cost a lot when using different cars.

    I found this really hard to used for a new born as it sat straight up the straps only move so far and the is no insert that I found to fit for a new born but now she can hold her own head I use it a lot more
  • 3.88/5

    • Design
    The car seat is easy to use, I have no problem getting it in and out of the car but it is heavy when carrying around so I have to ensure I have the chassis and adapters with me at all times. My little boy is very comfortable in it though as it is nicely padded. I love the style of the car seat, however the hood/visor appears to be just for show as it does not cover my baby in the slightest. I do think that there are a lot cheaper alternatives that have just as good reviews.
  • 4.13/5
    • Strengths:

      Easy to fasten a seatbelt around, adjustable as baby grows

    A really great car seat in my opinion! Even if the car seat is very heavy to carry I have found even without my baby in! However it is well designed and easy to fasten Baby in and out of and adjust as they grow!
    It looks great and easy to attach onto the bottom half of the pram when taking it out of the car for walks.

    Car seat is easy to use and to attach to buggy. Only complaint is that the seat is quite heavy and slightly awkward to detach from buggy, especially if you’re short like me with short arms.

    The straps are looser round the top section than the legs
