I got this as a package with the wayfarer buggy. When newborn the seat was good, but found he was very upright and his head would flop forward. As he grew and reflux took hold, he would scream in the car seat as he was too scrunched up in it. If my son wasn’t refluxy, I think I would have liked it more. I probably wouldn’t get it for my next baby though. - Strengths:

I love this car seat as it matches our travel system and can be used on the pushchair easily. It is nicely padded and seems comfortable, my daughter falls asleep in it quite quickly. Only downside is that it is quite heavy and hard for a new mum to carry with everything else!

I’ve used this car seat for around a month or so and found that it’s not suitable to take my baby on long journeys or attach to them silver cross pram. My child always looks squashed. - Strengths:

Very good car seat my son was in it up till he was 11 months very comfortable added bonus comes with a cover and you can buy a rain over as well another great added feature is that you can put the seat on to a silver cross pram. - Strengths:

Honestly if I could chose again, apart from the style I probably wouldn’t buy the car seat. It’s so heavy, even without a baby in. I also feel like the hood is no good in the sunny weather, it doesn’t seem to come down far enough to be of any use. My baby sleeps well in the car seat, but I feel like no matter how I position her she doesn’t look comfortable and always looks like her neck is squashed. It might suit her when she is older and able to hold her own head, but while she’s still young, it’s not great. - Strengths:

I found this car seat very easy to use considering i only have a three door car. It was very cost effective and not to over priced like other seats on the market. Its very lightweight so carrying it means no problems. Its also very stylish and i would thoroughly recommend this product to new or expecting parents. - Strengths:

I brought this particular seat as part of a package deal with my wayfarer pushchair. It's really simple to use and really easy to pop on the pushchair if I am going out for quick trip and my baby is sleeping
The quality of the inside and the hood and miff cover is really good and material is extremely durable.
Only criticism is when sun is out the hood doesn't shade much as it almost could do with being a bit longer but i use the carry cot when I am out for long periods so haven't found this too much of a problem. - Strengths:

Great car seat. It’s very sturdy. It is very well padded and comfy. The straps are very easy to connect and easy to extend and tighten. The only issue is it is heavier than other big brand car seats but it is bigger and sturdier. - Strengths:

Love my car seat to fit onto my silver cross travel system. Looks great and is easy to fit into my car. Only thing I would say is that it is quite heavy and bulky. - Strengths:

Really like this car seat. Easy to use, stylish, can remove newborn insert when baby gets a bit bigger (easy to remove - a little harder to put back in). Used for my baby since birth, she looked comfortable in it. It’s more upright than other car seats but I prefer as when clipped onto pram baby could still see if she wasn’t asleep. Would definitely recommend, although the hood of the car seat didn’t provide much shade. Bought with travel system, although to buy car seat and base separate from travel system would have been quite expensive. Would defiantly use/buy again.

Love this car seat my daughter practically fell asleep in this car seat without fail when she was in it, easy to wash the covers and put back on, not to heavy to carry around either, easily strapped into car as well. - Strengths:

The overall look of the car seat is good, it's easy to strap in or use on the isofix base, the downside is when trying the tighten the straps you do have to really pull them through, and if the car seat is on the base of the pram it's even harder, I usually have to put a foot on the frame to help pull. The seat is quite heavy too, something which I did notice when purchasing (my own fault), but I'm glad he's that little bit bigger where I can leave it in the car and carry him in, and I'm on the next stage of the pram so no longer needing to lift it on to the base. However little one has always looked really snug in it, so for them great, just for us not so great. - Strengths:

The simplicity is a good car seat, it’s very easy to use. You get adapters with car seat so you can use it as part of the Silvercross travel systems. The car seat is quite padded and looks quite comfortable for my baby. It is a durable car seat as I used this for my first child back in 2015 and now again for my new baby. The car seat itself is very heavy and makes it difficult to carry at times, especially as your baby gets bigger. You get a choice of
colours to choose from, so you can have it to match the rest of your travel system. - Strengths:

Not fond of this car seat. Its quite heavy even without baby in it, and my baby never seems comfortable. We've found that when we tighten the straps, its much tighter around his legs than his chest (which seems loose). He is quite scrunched up in it too, i have the shoulder straps on the highest level and they still crush his shoulder down. My little girl was the same and was in a different car seat by 4 months. Its very fiddly to take apart and put back together to wash. The hood on the car seat isnt very big either, so i found it pointless (doesnt shade baby from sun etc). The positives are that it is easy to clip on/off the wheels with the adapters and easy to fasten into the car.

This is a good car seat although the seat bobbles very quickly and the straps are hard to tighten. It's not a very light car seat either. My daughter finds it comfortable though and falls straight to sleep. - Strengths:

I had this car seat in black for my son which i purchased with the Pioneer pushchair, the car seat its self is very heavy and even heavier with a 6 month- 1 year old in, my sons head wasn’t supported so i had to buy a head support separately, the straps don’t fully fit right either but other then that it’s easy to get in the car and put on the pushchair, it’s a nice style and feels quite sturdy . - Strengths:

I’m afraid this is a very mixed review about this product because for all the great points I have to make about it I also have some not so great comments to go with it.
The positives
* it’s super easy to install into the car with or without an isofix
* it fits on to the pram base really easily
* it is light enough to carry round on your arm
* it looks stylish when pushing around with the pram
The negatives
* it seemed too upright for a newborn, many of my friends had other brands and their newborns looked much more comfortable as they laid back a lot more.
* it doesn’t last long enough. It is supposed to last up to a year but at 5months my son was starting to look very squashed and by 6 months we had to buy a new car seat.
* the canopy on top isn’t deep enough so the baby is not sheltered from the rain or protected from the sun, it needs at least another panel to make it cover the babies head.
So my verdict, it’s definitely not the best on the market but I’m sure there will be worse ones out there. We managed with it for the first baby and will use it again for the second but if I had the money to purchase another car seat I would look for something that reclines more for newborns. - Strengths:

A really nice lightweight car seat which is easy to secure in the car and great for car journeys. My little boy looked very comfortable in this car seat and I was always at ease knowing that it was simple to fit and it was safe too. Only downside for me was the straps as I didn’t feel that they sat well over my little boys shoulders. - Strengths:

Love the simplicity car seat as it fits on my Pram base perfect when you are just popping somewhere quick and done want to have to take the full carrycot. ISO fix makes it easy to use in the car. The car seat is quite heavy which is the only negative I have.
Lovely colour pack options available to match your pram. - Strengths:

Our little one is so comfortable when ever we go out in this car seat. Whether it's a quick trip into town either on the bus or in the car. And when we go out for The day she's so comfortable she's always smiling. - Strengths:

We used this car seat as part of the wayfarer travel system. We had the isofix base as well and it was so easy to just clip in and out of the car and on to the pram. It lasted my Little Boy until he was 14 months old so it was good value for money. Only downfall was the weight, it was quite heavy when baby was in it as well. - Strengths:
