    'BEST FITTING, VERY COMFY MY SON LOVES IT!'
    Strengths:
    It fits very well into our renault laguna and was the only car seat not to move when testing it by pulling firmly on the harness when it is fitted into the car. It reclines well and it is the newer model so the mechanism is covered. My son loves this seat as he can see out of the window and is very comfy on long journeys. I highly reccommend this car seat, I know some people have said it is expensive but it does last until the child is 3 or 4 and it ranks top for safety so well worth the money. We got the car seat from a small shop near us and it cost £140. It is very easy getting our son into the seat as the straps are held out of the way.
    Weaknesses:
    None!
    Overall:
    Very sturdy, great harness, very safe, great value, highly reccommend!!

    'BRILLIANT, DAUGHTER IS SO COMFY'
    Strengths:
    Fits Vauxhall omega really well, easy to fit after fitted once, retracting strap means that its easier to get daughter out
    Weaknesses:
    Crumbs can get caught in the mechanism although this can be rectified by registering on maxi cosi site and they send out a free cover!
    Overall:
    Fantastic, would recommend to anyone!

    'CAME OUT TOP IN 'WHICH' FOR SAFETY'
    Strengths:
    Extremely easy and quick to install and very easy to put my daughter in without searching for straps, we also got 33% off by shopping at Boots online during sale so price was £120 although would still have bought it just for safety aspect
    Weaknesses:
    Sometimes I find the strap loosens slightly and moves just off the green.
    Overall:
    Safe and easy to use and thats something you can't put a price on (

    'EASY TO USE AND VERY STYLISH'
    Strengths:
    This car seat is easy to fix in your car and is light enough to move from car to car. The harness is brilliant, there is no searching for the straps once you've sat your child in. Very stylish with different colour schemes available.
    Weaknesses:
    The tightening mechanism for the baby restraint straps can split the surrounding plastic if you don't pull the strap away from the seat, if you pull it upwards cracks form.
    Overall:
    A very stylish looking car seat which is guaranteed to attract plenty of comments from other mums and dads. The child harness is superb, and installing the car seat is very easy. Highly recommended due to the chair recline, harness and colour schemes.
