The directions were confusing and the pictures in the directions referred to parts that were not included in our product, like a large sleeve for the directions that apparently used to exist on the back of the car seat . We also had a large red strap that was not identified in the picture that was confusing at first as to what we were supposed to do with it. Later in the directions, it referred to the red carrying strap, which clearly is what this is, but not showing it in the diagram led to confusion. We have 4 kids and have been through many car seats, so I don’t think the issue is us, but that the directions weren’t updated completely for revisions to the previous model. At first, when the directions didn’t seem to match the product, I wondered if what we received was authentic, but I’m 97% sure it is at this point.The seat itself seems sturdy enough and is slim compared to many models, which is nice. Our little guy is 2, but on the smaller side. I try to picture him sitting rear facing at 50 pounds instead of 28 in this seat, and it doesn’t appear there will be tons of leg room, but right now, he fits great. I’m also not confident the cup holder will stay in place, but so far it has, and ultimately, I’m more concerned about safety than a cup holder. Finally, I will say that removing the cover to wash it appears to be a multi step process, something I wish I had known prior to purchase. I purchased this for my car to replace a Graco infant seat that snaps in and out of the base. We still need to get an additional replacement for the husband’s car. I’m not sold on this model, but will give it a little longer before deciding on whether we want something different for the other car. Read more

By far this is the best car seat I have ever purchased. I have a Subaru ascent and I have six children which only two of them are in car seats and the other two are on booster seats. They fit perfectly, the way I put them in my car I put one of each side and one of the older child sits in the between them and he has plenty of space,the material is made out of is fantastic and it's not hard like most car seats it's soft and it's made of some sort of phone material so the child is extremely comfortable. Neither did my 8-month-old nor my 3-year-old complain when we took a 2-hour drive so I highly recommend these car seats. I personally think it's worth the money. Read more

Bought because this is the only carseat that could accommodate my daughter's hip dysplasia brace (rhino cruiser). Surprisingly there are not many options for parents with infants and toddlers in the various hip dysplasia casts, braces and slings. With a short impact resistant styrofoam as a wedge she fits and is quite secure and SAFE. That being said the seat is Tall, very. It takes up a lot of room in the back of a Tahoe in the reason facing position. However with the Dino Wedge (save $15 and get a garden kneeling pad for just $7.95 like I did) we recouped a couple inches of leg room. The latch belt is too bulky to actually synch the seat down firmly, it simply can't snug in the three more inches needed. So I had to use the seatbelt, which is a pain but at least it snugged down. You absolutely need to use the top of the seat tie down for this seat to be secure in the rear facing position. Not a novice car seat installer and this was tricky, but I literally had ZERO other options that didn't risk my daughter's hip progress or safety in the car. Now that it's installed and she seems to enjoy it, I feel better about all the sweat and rearranging. Read more

I bought this car seat because I thought it would be easy to carry/install to use with uber/lyfts - definitely not the case. This is a real pain compared to the infant car seat I owned to install (takes more than 10 minutes and had to listen to a lot of complaining cab drivers). Also, there is absolutely no head support for the child that falls asleep in the car, so my child's head/neck are in a weird position. I haven't been in an accident, but I can imagine if I were my child would suffer some serious injury. This is also not easy to carry around which is primarily why I purchased. Since I only take my child in cabs occasionally I wasn't able to figure all this out until after the return policy expired... sure wish I could return this crap. Read more

I was wary about this seat because I’ve heard so many folks complain about difficulty installing it. While I didn’t try to do so rear facing, the forward facing install was a snap. This thing has a tiny footprint and really high quality materials. Next to the larger car seats, this one looks like a sleek little race car harness setup! I really appreciated all the attention to detail, like the super comfy and plush chest/shoulder pads and the ingenious LATCH clips (haven’t seen those anywhere else!). I really like this seat and frankly wish I’d gone with this for my other children as well — would have made for a much easier 3 across setup. Read more

Seems great but it arrived without an instruction manual, so I have no idea how to install for my rear facing toddler. It also took an extra week to arrive, so I'm pinched for time as I'm having a baby next week. Read more

I have a 1.5, 3 year and 17 year old and wanted to get more room in the middle seat of my Ford Explorer. I gained a lot more space for my 17 year old ! Seats are heavy duty, sleek and my boys are comfy. Definitely worth the money. Read more

I like thst this car seat is narrow because I have 3 grandsons to fit in my Ford Edge back seat. I don't like how heavy this one is and I had to have someone else install it for me. Not an easy install. Read more

Perfect for my baby! I love how there’s no excessive amount of padding, so it’s easy for her to look around. Very sleek and doesn’t take up too much space. The only thing I don’t like is how easily the cup holder comes out. Read more

You may have to purchase the Diono angle adjuster (we did) to get the correct fit. And shout out to West Coast Kids who helped us install it. Read more
