Tested by mum Catherine Cator for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
The car seat looked really comfortable for my child which is really really important for long car journeys. Although I wasn't sure about the design pattern to start with it grew on me, I was also impressed with the safety features and would prefer to pay more to have the security.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
I tried to install the car seat a few times to see how quick and easy it was and although I struggled wi it to start with because it was totally different to my current car seat, I much preferred the cossatto system which is much easier.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Not much I would change. I really liked it. I wasn't able to test the car seat on a really hot day, but I wondered whether the material would get really hot on their skin. I would perhaps put a cup holder on the seat which would make life better for kids.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow dad?
First of all I would say that this car seat was really comfortable for the kids to be in. The real acid test for a car seat is whether they are happy sitting and sleeping in it , and this car seat had loads of padding and was very soft, so they were very happy in it. Safety is also very important in a car seat and I felt that there was good protection.
How does this product make your life easier as a dad?
Simple to install. I tried testing the car seat in different cars as I wanted to find out how easy it was to take it out and put back in. At first I found the system quite difficult to get my head around, but after a few goes I thought It was a really good, secure mechanism.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
It's difficult to find fault with this car seat. Perhaps putting a cup holder on the side of it would have been useful. Overall, I liked it.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow dad?
My son, aged 3, said he very comfy and liked the design, although I was less keen on the look. Once fitted it was easy to him in and out, but the rods were a little annoying. Good material used and all one piece so no gaps for food to collect. I didn't remove the straps but you can meaning it will last a few years to come. The wide straps gave the impression (as did the extra annoying rods) that safety is a key feature behind this model and of course a good recline so he was happy to sleep.
How does this product make your life easier as a dad?
Comfy for him, easy to clean on a daily basis and a good recline so a happy boy make a happy dad.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Initial fitting seemed more involved than others but if this is part of the safety then great and although many liked it I wasn't keen on the design.
