    I really love this car seat and feel like my son is much safer and comfortable in this seat than his older one from a travel system. I love that he can stay rear facing for so long in it comfortably. Its is easily adjustable and love the newborn insert. Only downside is that the blue clip used to secure the seatbelt in place in rear facing mode isn't adequate.

    I managed to buy this car seat for £100 brand new and it has been a fantastic purchase. This allowed us to rear face for a longer period of time and allowed my daughter to see out of the window.
    Suitable from newborn and looks so comfy with the padding.
    It's easy to take in and out of the car.
    Only issue we have had is that the code does not go back on the back area very easily since washing it. It's a tight squeeze and then just rises up once in the car.

    Car seat is great for it's purpose, keeps my child safe and secure on journeys out. Although i didn't find it very safe for when my son was newborn as it didn't recline enough. Also as he is getting bigger it gets harder to place him in rear facing as the seatbelt gets in the way, not great with short seatbelts neither. Overall this car seat is lovely and very padded and supportive for the child.

    I love the car seat and so does my little one. I just wish I bought it sooner as it can be used from birth. This car seat fits perfectly on my mums car.
  • 4.50/5

    As a mum of 3 sturdy boys and also a childminder I am very knowledgable about car seats, pros and cons and what each one does and how they differ. I wanted a rear facing seat that would last m6 3rd son for as lon* as possible in the rear facing position. He was 85cm tall at 9 months old and buying a car seat did prove to be a challenge for the longevity but also comfort for him.
    We chose the stages seat and have found it amazing. He loves being rear f8ng and because the seat is high up he can see out of the window. The recline in the rear facing position isn’t fantastic and I would question if it declines enough if I were to use this from newborn. This maybe something you wo7ld wan5 to double check but for our uses it’s fine.

    Fitting it is super easy and the green guds for when the seat is fitted correctly are really handy and easy to see.

    All in all it is a fab seat that sits our family and our youngest son.

      Can be used from new born right through. Rear and forward facing. Good fit for a chunky baby!

    We have used this car seat from birth for our nearly 4 year old and it is still going strong. The padding can be easily removed when the stages require and the rear facing element latest my child (who is on the 98th centile!) longer than expected. It fits well in both of our cars and is easy to fit, would definitely recommend!

    I bought this when my son was 9 months, I initially found it quite difficult to get the straps to fit properly on his shoulders and got quite frustrated but after adjusting it properly and ensuring he wasn't wearing anything bulky at all I haven't had any problems. I do find it is quite reclined, but I don't think it's any more than other other rear facing car seat. Now at 16 months, my son is still very comfortable and I plan to use it rear facing as long as possible.
  • 4.50/5

    I'm happy with the car seat. It wasn't exactly clear how to extend the belts without reading the instructions. The car seatbelt does get a little in the way with the seat in reverse but I guess this will be the same for every belted car seat.

    I brought this carseat for my son in blue. I have used it since birth and still using it 4years on. My son loves it. It's sturdy, supportive, it's easy to fit both rear and front facing. It is quite heavy but I would really recommend this seat. It also comes in black and red(cherry) which I have just purchased for my little girl.
    I have used this in 3 different cars and have fit perfect in all three. Massive thumbs up from me.

    After much research we bought this seat when a newborn seat we had been gifted was outgrown. We wanted a seat that offered extended rear facing options (for safety reasons) and would work with a seat belt as our car had no isofix. We also wanted a seat to last for a number of years. This stages seat definately does the job. Our son rear faced until his legs were becoming a little cramped at about 3 yrs (he has quite long legs), when we switched to forward facing. He's still using the seat now at 4 and a half and has always been comfy even on longer journeys and we've always felt he is safe.

    I brought this car seat as my sons head flopped in his newborn seat. It’s lovely, smart and comfy. As soon as we moved my son over to this seat, he sat better and looked comfy in it. It is quite chunky.

    Brought this for my 16 month old when she grew out of her newborn seat 10 months ago. She finds it very comfortable and it easy to change between the different stages. Only downside is that it is quite chunky and bulky

    This car seat is great as it is padded and seems very protective of baby, it is easy to install in the car and baby seems happy when in it. The extra inserts for padding/new baby are very helpful. Seems a good solid car seat, my only concerns are that my daughter seems able to get her arms out of the actual restraints which is worrying. However it does not tempt me to buy a new car seat as she seems settled and comfortable in it, especially when considering the price

    I got this on sale for £99 and it was definitely worth it. I was shopping about for a safe cheapish car seat and this delighted me.
    My one year old is so comfortable she falls asleep almost every time she’s in it.

    Issues, it’s not great with a small car, I can’t get it to recline right back due to a shorter seatbelt so have had to order extenders which I’m wary of installing for safety purposes. As a result naps always seem to end in the little one waking when the car breaks as her head jerks.

    I have this car seat in cherry for my Lg who is 6 months old. We use it in the rear facing setting and find it keeps her in a great position for driving and adapts very well to her quick growing. LG seems to prefer being in this to her previous car seat.
    The only issue is you can't get her out without waking her up so I spend a lot of time sat on my drive!
  • 4.38/5

    This is a fairly priced car seat. A lot cheaper then others around though. You can’t put money on your child’s safety and this is definitely worth the money. It is solid and sterdy which puts your mind at ease your child is in a safe seat. It is also good value for money as it last for a good few years and is rear facing.
  • 4.38/5

      Can be used for the first 4 years, comfortable and spacious, nice little storage pockets, easy to fit

    My little one loves it, so much more space than her Newborn one, also sat more in an upright position which she likes. It is very easy to fit into the car, comes with both the seat belt fasten or the in car plug way. Comes with little storage pouches and the head rest is adjustable to support there height. It is one that will last until she is at least 4, and be rear and forward facing.
  • 4.38/5
    • Strengths:

      Tilt and price

    • Weaknesses:

      Stiff straps

    • Comfortable
    • Value for money
    • Easy to use
    • Design
    We bought this seat to use in the grandparents cars which was ideal as it's easy to move in and out due to the belt in style. It's also very lightweight and not too bulky. It can be used both rear and forward facing. It's a nice wide seat with an adjustable head rest- great for my big boy!

    I find the straps difficult to extend and tighten, they are very stiff at the moment. The tilt feature is also good, but when the seat is rear facing it's so difficult to get into the tilt handle, that it's almost impossible to change the angle once the baby is in the seat.

    All, in all a good chair for the price.
