Great travel car seat
We’re recommending this to all our parent friends. This car seat has gone on a handful of trips over the last year — domestic and international. It lightweight and can be strapped on to a stroller for easy transport through the airport. We’ve used it in the plane and in rental cars with no complaints from our little guy.Only real con is that its almost too basic. Car installs is a bit more cumbersome and straps can get caught/stuck after a few uses. It’s easy enough to adjust just not something you usually have to do with more expensive seat, but this is fine for temporary use cases.

Ultimate Travel Car Seat
Ultimate travel car seat. At 8lbs itâs very light. It fits perfectly in the bottom of a Uppababy V2. We were able to gate check our stroller and use it on the plane (itâs FAA approved and easy plane install). My son was so much happier sitting in a car seat than in the seats. I felt better to since itâs safer for him.When we went out we would take our stroller, get in and out of cabs and easily install the car seat then we were able to stow it in the stroller. Worth every penny!

This car seat is not good.
We purchased two of these for travel and for our second car. This is just not a good car seat. I’ve installed other car seats (2 other gracos that are great) without issue. They both have the same issues so I know it’s not a defective car seat.Cons:Impossible to tighten down enough using car seat latches. I’ve tried everything from sitting in the car seat and tightening, I’ve watched all the youtube tutorials on installing a car seat. They will not tighten enough and slides all over.The tightening strap for the harnesses is awful. How do you not incorporate a loop to put your finger through so you can pull the harness tight to the child. It’s miserable every time as it’s very difficult to pull without it and the car seat is sliding.The harness doesn’t pull evenly and very difficult to pull. The left side of the harness tightens more than the right.Pros:They’re light.I never write reviews but this car seat is just so bad. I would have returned them to amazon but I threw out the large box. I reached out to maxi but they’re asking for videos and a bunch of other things that are difficult to show on camera.

Works great
I needed a 2nd car seat but also wanted something we could travel with. This car seat serves both those purposes and honestly is great enough to work as a primary car seat! Itâs comfy, soft, lightweight, and feels safe. My toddler fits well in it. We also have the bigger maxi cosà convertible car seat and that one is great too! But I donât know if my toddler son notices the difference between the 2! This is a great value for the money. Installation is the same for both pretty much. You gotta thread that seatbelt through the hole – a minimal pain. No cup holders but I would definitely recommend this to anyone! who is either looking for a travel car seat or needs a primary car seat and wants to keep it simple without all the bells and whistles.

Travel car seat
It worked well with our travel to Hawaii, but I would say that the bottom clip is very low and not adjustable. So for longer and taller kiddos it could be a bit uncomfortable. My son was 1.5 when we used it and it did the job!But definitely light weight for gate check for any air travel which was a bonus!

Lightweight and comfortable
I purchased this car seat specifically for travel because itâs so lightweight. And it served its purpose so well, very easy to travel with and install. I read a lot of bad reviews and I donât understand how people expect it to be similar/comparable to $500-700 car seats. You get exactly what you pay for. For this price itâs a great quality. Material is good, more cushy and overall better then Cosco brand. Some people say itâs the same product under different names, but itâs not. There was no chemical smell at all. I was able to adjust the harness to our liking for my 1yo, just read the manual. I would not put a newborn baby in this car seat or use it on a daily basis, but it works great for traveling or second car option.
