    'VERY STURDY AND EASY TO USE - WOULD RECOMMEND!'
    Strengths:
    I have found this car seat extremely easy to use - the best feature is the way the shoulder straps adjust once your child is strapped in the seat.
    Weaknesses:
    My son (who is now 2 and a half) can undo the straps himself.
    Overall:
    A great car seat for when your baby grows out of their newborn one.

    'LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY TO FIT, MAXIMUM CONFORT'
    Strengths:
    This is so light compared to the car seat I had for my eldest daughter, its easy to move from one car to another and easy to fasten, with plenty of room to pull the seatbelt to the fastener. The headrests and padding provide maximum comnfort - my daughter loves it
    Weaknesses:
    you need two covers as while washing my eldest had a tendancy to pick the polystyrene. the cover comes off as one piece of fabric. Another cover is pricey at £40 but I think mnoney well spent!!
    Overall:
    Would highly recommend for safety, confort and looks (i love the girlie colours available)

    'EASY TO FIT, PLENTY OF SAFETY FEATURES'
    Strengths:
    sturdy, easy to use. Very good fit in car. tensioners easy to use and voted no. 1 for safety by which.
    Weaknesses:
    Harness can be a pain as straps are easily twisted making tightening and loosening difficult
    Overall:
    My daughter looks so comfortable in this chair. It is stylish and the one handed reclining makes position change on the move easy. Overall a very good chair.

    'SUPERB, SAFE, WELL-FORMULATED CAR SEAT'
    Strengths:
    Numerous: Strong sturdy sides in case of side impact. Easy to take in and out of car. Easy tilt mechanism. Nice and high. Good-looking.
    Weaknesses:
    Seat-belts continuously twist around. Easy to tighten straps, but much harder to loosen.
    Overall:
    Overall I am very happy with the seat and feel it does what it needs to do. Padded and sturdy, comfortable and practical - if they just sort out the seatbelts it would be perfect.

    'SAFE & EASY TO FIT , BUT SEAT BELT HOLDERS NOT VERY GOOD'
    Strengths:
    Easy to fit, seatbelt tensioner is good too, not too heavy to move arund different cars. Looks really good and baby is comfy too.
    Being able to reach behind and tip the baby seat back when baby sleeps with one hand is great!
    Weaknesses:
    Strap "holders" that are supposed to keep straps away while you put baby in are rubbish and keep falling off. Straps far too easy to get twisted up too.
    Overall:
    If the Manufacturer could update the car seat with better seatbelt holders and non twist straps it would be perfect.

    'STURDY, FUNKY AND COMFORTABLE'
    Strengths:
    This is very comfortable and offers side impact protection its easy to fit in the car and looks and feels sturdy and safe
    Weaknesses:
    No weakness i have noticed
    Overall:
    I love the look of this and my baby is comfortable, high enough up to look out of the window. I feel that he is safe because of the side impact and its easy to clip him in it.

    'QUALITY CAR SEAT WITH GREAT SAFETY FEATURES!'
    Strengths:
    Easy to install, great looking, light and great safety features!
    Weaknesses:
    It can only be used with a 3 point seatbealt so you can't really use it with a lap belt. Other than that - no other weaknesses!
    Overall:
    Really great safety features such as plenty of padding (side impact protection and head protection) and padded shoulder straps which adjust to 3 positions. Fully reclining seat - with 5 different positions and its really easy to adjust - one hand mechanism.

    My 2 yr old daughter seems to really like it - she loves the fact that she can see out the window and must be comfy in it as she falls asleep pretty easily in it!

    Its also really easy to clean - just wipe it clean! I haven't (yet) had to actually remove the seat cover to wash it and after 1 yr it still looks brand new!

    There are great clips on the side of the seat to put the straps into (once you've taken your baby out), which are a brilliant addition as I never struggle to find the straps underneath my daughter when I've put her in.

    Highly recommend this seat!
