'EASY TO USE'
Strengths:
traffic light system so you know it is fitted correctly
isofix is so easy to use
Weaknesses:
price - don't see why it has to cost quite so much (nearly £200 with isofix base)
Overall:
It's so easy to use as slots in well and the traffic light indicators let you know you've got it right. It is awkward and heavy to carry, but all carseats are as far as I have seen. Would agree it can sometimes be difficult to move the handle out of the way and I found it annoying that the crotch piece was always getting caught under my baby when I put him in.

'EXCELLENT CAR SEAT '
Strengths:
Fits securely into car
Easy to manage
Baby seems very happy in it.Sun sheild comes in very handy.
Weaknesses:
Very Heavy to carry and sometimes awkward
I sometimes struggle to get the cover off for washing.
Sometimes the handle bar sticks which is a nuisance when you're in a hurry!
Overall:
Definatley worth spending the extra few pounds on this. Is great with the Bugaboo Pram and Push Chair.
Shame it will only last up until 6 months!

'EASY TO USE CAR SEAT'
Strengths:
Sturdy, Easy to use, Easily adjustable straps, headrest supports small babies from birth.
Weaknesses:
No weaknesses I have found
Overall:
I use this car seat with the base and Bugaboo wheels. The seat is extreemly easy to get in and out of the car with the base. It is also easy to fit without the base when I use it in other peoples cars.

I regulaly use the seat with my Bugaboo wheels for quick trips to the shops. It is easy to fit to the wheels. The only thing I don't like is that seperate adapters are required for the frame and these are another part that must be remebered when heading out the house.

I have been very pleased with this carseat it provides everything I need from a seat. My baby is also very happy and comfortable in it. I would recommend it to others.

'VERY ADAPTABLE WELL PRICED'
Strengths:
The ease of use with the base is fantastic, it clicks in so easily.
The straps are easy to adjust and the head rest works well.
The car seat when used with the Quinny Buzz wheels make it essentisl if you are using a car with not alot of luggage space
Weaknesses:
The cost of the bases is a little bit of a draw back, they aren't essential to use but do make it easier.
Overall:
The seat is a well made sturdy item which makes a good part of the travel system and is good value for money.
