I have found out they my just over 1 year old is at maximum hight for the chair with straps so much so I now need a new chair for him as can not remove the straps for his age.
This car seat is fantastic, its comfy and grows with your child. It was highly recommended to me by a friend, neither of us regret making this purchase, great product.
Love this easy to put in the car and can be forward facing or rear facing and goes up to the age of 5 and it lies down is well my child falls asleep in it all the time can't fault this 1 bit.
Can be a bit tricky to fit in if you don’t have small hands

When my little boy was getting to big and uncomfortable in his baby carrier car seat I desperately needed one that would be suitable for him. Having the option to have it forward facing or rear was a plus. It reclines which is another great feature so your baby doesn’t have to be upright all the time.
It's easy to install and no seat bet goes over baby's legs
Weaknesses:
It's massive making it difficult to get baby in and out of in lower roof cars

I bought this because my baby's legs are long and getting her into a newborn baby car seat was too difficult without unstrapping it every time. The thing I love about this is that no belt strap goes over baby's legs - so you can lay them in easily. This is quite useful if they are asleep.
Unfortunately, it's huge. You really need a high roof car (SUV) to easily use it. I have to lift my baby to the roof to get her in.
It does have the option of forward or back facing, but with the new UK laws, it will not be able to be used forward facing due to children outgrowing it before they can forward face legally. But it does have many removable inserts for changing size.
The straps don't seem to adjust through addition holes, so it gets a bit awkward as they grow as they end up going behind baby. The tilting Aso doesn't appear to tip down as much as we expected since it is meant for newborns as well. Overall, however, I'm quite happy with it.
Love the car seat i got it on offer £74.99 very easy to use does the job my little one always falls a sleep soon as i clip her in highly recommendable.
This seat was easy to fit. Even the grandparents and my other half have found it easy.
My daughter always looks very comfortable in it.
Only thing is the belts where the buckles are twist easily and can be a faf when you have to stand in the rain/wind and straighten them ups.
You can adjust the straps but you can’t move/adjust the pads on the straps

I love this Joie Car seat.
My daughter is currently 9 months old and has been in this seat since 6 months.
The seat is well padded and provides lots of support as well as protection for your baby. I love that it is rear facing even after 9kgs as this is proven much safer for babies.
Not only is it comfortable and of good quality, it looks nice (we have it in the colour burgundy) and is easy to clean.
Would definitely recommend this car seat, it is so much better than her previous seat.
The only problem/ thing I don't like is that you can not adjust the should/ arm pads on the straps, which for me, can make it a little difficult to strap baby in when she is being difficult. Other than that, the seat is perfect.
Seat can recline to prevent head flop. Very good price. Lovely colour
Weaknesses:
The shoulder pads cannot be removed to wash.

Overall the seat is lovely. Comes in a lovely merlot colour which makes a change from black as it really stands out. The seat is comfortable and well supportive with its various inserts. The car seat is very easy to recline with just a push of one button. Although you cannot take the shoulder pads off to wash I like the idea that they are fixed as it prevents them slipping down and makes sure they are always in the correct place. With previous car seats I found the car seat belt got in the way when getting baby in and out especially when rear facing but this seat there is a way you can tuck the seat belt out the way, put your child in the seat and then put the seat belt back again. I love the 5point harness compared to the 3 point as it offers the baby more protection and support. I also found the car seat to be big enough that’s its spacious but it fit the seat of my car well and did not look to big.
Overall I love the car seat and would highly recommend.
Perfect seat! Absolutely love it! It's so comfortable and easy to use and strap in the car, my son has loads of space and enjoys being in the car seat.
You can’t take the covers off of the straps to wash

Very good car seat so simple to put in even grandma can do it. Very strong plastic so feels safe and cover comes of easy. You just can’t take the cover o the straps off which is a tad annoying. But overall brilliant.
I have this car seat for my now 2 year old son. Absolutely brilliant as a rear and forward facing. Brilliant recline, very easy to use and to fit. Pretty universal when it comes to the design. Only thing I fault is the harness twists itself very easily and often.
Grows with the baby, it’s so comfortable and supports when baby is sleeping.
Weaknesses:
It’s a pain to get the cover on and off for washing.

I brought this car seat after trying many before, this car seat is the only one that my daughter could sleep in without her head falling forward. It stay rear facing and is so comfortable. The reclining feature is great because the amount of driving around to get little to sleep is unbelievable. I feel comfortable that she is safe I this!
My son is happy and seems comfortable in this seat but he will out grow it in height well before reaching the 18kg limit he's 13 months is almost outgrown 12-18 cloths and only has 2 more harness slots . It can be hard to tighten the harness when it's
In the car is perfect for a small child.
Really good car seat, nice red colour and very soft for little one, it’s back and front facing which is handy and easy to install. Only issue I have is the seatbelt snags underneath all the time making it difficult to pull baby’s straps tight, however easy enough to unsnap.
Lovely car seat,strong and safe. Very easy to use and my little boy looks very comfortable. Wish I’d not bothered with a caring 0 size car seat and just bought this one from the start. Lots of padding for newborns that is all removable. The blue colour is very lovely.
Instructions are a nightmare to understand with all of the inserts

This seat is really padded and baby looks comfy..easy to adjust headrest as baby grows, currently have it rearward facing and it’s easy to install and easy to get baby in and out of. I love that it will be ok right up to Age 7....the sides are high so would provide excellent protection in an accident.
Sons head doesn’t fall forwards when asleep...perfect seat in my opinion.
The flexible relaxing recline of the Joie Steadi Group 0+/1 Car Seat is a stand out feature. Boasting 4 super comfortable positions as well as versitility, the Steadi car seat enables rear facing intially, then as it grows with your child it converts to a forward facing seat. Safety is of course paramount, and the side impact secutiry and full body protection - with focus on the vulnerable head, back and hips areas - is guaranteed. And when you need to, you can easily remove the comfortable fabrics and pop them in the washing machine.
