Pros

  • Handle can be in any locked position when traveling in the vehicle
  • Light weight carrier
  • Adjustable crotch strap

Cons

  • No recline foot for recline angle adjustment
  • Must use rolled towels to achieve proper recline angle
  • Recline indicator is only a molded line on the seat shell

CR's Take

A simple design at a reasonable price. The lack of a recline foot in many instances means caregivers will have to rely on rolled towels to install this seat correctly.

Detailed Test Results

Consumer Reports’ car seat crash test, developed in 2014, provides comparative performance information on which car seats could provide an additional margin of safety.  All child seats sold in the United States are required to meet government safety standards, and Consumer Reports’ tests are not designed to test compliance with those standards.  Rather, we evaluate the seats’ performance under conditions designed by our experts to simulate certain crash scenarios, and rate them on a scale ranging from “basic” to “best.”  The test conditions have been carefully designed to simulate the interior environment and forces encountered during a crash in contemporary vehicles.
