Great features
Bought this 3 months ago. Really happy

A great value seat
We bought this as our daughter was ready to move up to a bigger car seat. She loves the seat and enjoys being able to climb in and out herself. It was easy to fit, and takes up less space than our previous seat, meaning we have more room to move front seat back etc Great value for money!

Moving on up
Very happy with this new booster for my 3 yr old grandaughter. Feather weight compared to the too heavy for grandparents-tho very safe - swivel birth onwards seat it replaced. I won't have trouble moving it in and out of the car when I need the space for an adult. Struggled a little with initial assembly. Too soon to say how comfortable it is. Haven't had any negative comments yet but only used on short journeys less than an hour.

Fantastic fit for child and car!
Bought a couple of weeks ago for my 20 month old Grand daughters to use, while travelling in my Fiesta car. It was easy to assemble and very easy to fit in my car. It still allows 2 other passengers to fit alongside, too. Granddaughter fell sleep comfortably on her first journey in it! Really pleased with the purchase.

I bought this for taking my grandson out. It was so easy to install. It looks good and is great that it can turn into a booster seat when he is older. Would recommend!
