Fantastic!
This car seat is fantastic. We bought it as second car seat to have it ready in a second car and also to take with us on a flight. The car seat is light and easy to transport. It is also easy to install in uber or cabs and rental vehicles. It is pretty sturdy but also comfortable. My daughter took 1-hr long naps without problem. Definitely recommend.

Comfortable travel or everyday car seat!
We were looking for a travel car seat that actually appeared comfortable for our child and this proved to be that. We liked it so much we are now using it as an every day seat. Great price and simplistic build with slim design.

Hasn't disappointed me yet
Best car seat out. We were in an accident and this car seat did exactly what it was supposed to do. I purchased another one since we couldn't use the one that was in the accident. The straps are adjustable. The seat has great cushion unlike other car seats. Anchors are secure and tight. The car seat doesn't move around. I purchased other seats for grandparents car and w...

Travel car seat
We got this car seat as an extra one to have on hand for travel and transfers (grandparents or sisters car). I wish it had the other clips to fasten it into the car (with the red clicker buttons) but otherwise this car seat is pretty slick. It's definitely lighter than our 4Ever DLX 4 in 1 convertible, and much more narrow. It does seem to be a bit harder to fasten into...

Contender Slim Convertible Car Seat
I love the slim profile of this car seat and the fact that it is much lighter than a lot of the car seats that I looked at before deciding on this one. I know the Graco brand is well made and highly rated for safety.

Travel Car Seat
I purchased this car seat to use as my travel car seat after my daughter got too tall for the lightweight Cosco car seat we had been using. I tried to find information about people's experiences with this seat on planes and couldn't find much, so hopefully this will help if that's what you're looking for! What we learned while traveling with this car seat:

Great Carseat
Got this for when we take our 1 1/2 year old grandson. This was easy to install, we have it rear facing at the moment and will turn it front facing when he is old enough. We can also remove it easily when we don't need it in the car. Our son and daughter-in-law approve of it also.

Great purchase.
Car seat is comfortable and easy to install. Lots of cushioning. My daughter purchased one to transition our grand daughter into. We all liked it so well we bought two more, one for my car and one for her father’s truck. Very reasonably priced

Styrofoam under headrest
I love everything about the car seat except my two-year-old granddaughter reaches under the head rest and picks up the Styrofoam and now I have to worry that she’s going to put pieces in her mouth. Every time I take her out of the car seat there’s pieces of Styrofoam all over. I’m gonna have to find a way to put some duct tape under there so she can’t pick at it otherwi...

Great transition car seat from infant seat
Great transition from infant car seat. This seat is nothing fancy but it’s safe/affordable and comfortable for baby. It’s also a slim fit which I love because it doesn’t intrude into other seats in the back. My baby is in the 98% and he fits in it just fine, so I don’t feel like the slim fit takes space away from baby. 10/10
