Overview
Installing it rear facing with the anti-rebound bar against the vehicle seat is how most families will start. Later the shell turns forward, with a top tether for stability. Side impact panels and pods adjust in height as the child grows.
Extended rear facing is its strength: the high rear facing limits and the leg room spacer help a toddler stay rear facing longer. The listing gives two different forward facing minimums, and the shell is heavy to move between cars.
Who it's for
Parents buying one seat to cover infancy through the toddler years, with extra rear facing room. Those who need a light seat for travel or frequent swaps will find this one a chore to carry.
Pros and cons
- Anti-rebound bar stows when not needed
- Side impact protection adjusts with child in seat
- Newborn cushions remove as the child grows
- Energy absorbing foam in shell and head
- Heavy to lift between cars
- Forward facing minimum differs in listing
- Not usable as a booster
Performance notes
Crash protection rests on energy absorbing foam in the shell and head panel, the side pods that spread side forces, and the anti-rebound bar that limits rotation in a front or rear impact. A tight LATCH install and correctly adjusted harness height decide how well those parts work.
