PROS
To discuss the pros for this product, I am going to compare it to our trusty list,
- Safety – check (five point safety harness, head impact protection and latch system)
- Easy of use and cleaning – check (removable machine washable seat cover, easy adjust harness and headrest)
- Height and weight limits – check (4 lbs to 120 lbs for weight and 1″ to 57″ for height).
- Expiring date- check ( made to last for ten years)
- Price and style- check; 299.99 USD for a product that will last from new born till your child is 120 lbs (good buy). It is a good and stylish design and comes in a variety of colors suitable for both boys and girls.
CONS
This car seat is designed to stay in the car; this means that for moving an infant around, you will need an infant car seat or a stroller.
This is a great car seat and from reading many reviews on Amazon, buyers give this car seat a 4.8 out of 5 star rating (I agree).
Please leave a comment and share this post with friends and family.

Hi Juan,
Amazon usually have the best price but I am not sure if it has the best price for this product. I’m happy you found my site and thanks for letting your friend know.
Denise, you have provided much helpful information on your site. For parents who like to exercise, you have provided great options that allow for parents and baby to have time together for exercise. You provide many opportunities to take a look at products and to buy products. A comment I received on my website that I found very helpful was to disable the automatic listing of your policy page on your website menu…you may be interested in checking that out. Please let me know if you would like my help and I would be pleased to help out.
Great website, Denise!
