| Pros | Best crash test analysis, load leg, great LATCH system, color indicators, easy to install | Budget-friendly, better crash test result, lighter weight | Better crash test results, lots of padding, canopy/handle perfection, easy belt threading | Live online install assistance, better crash scores, lightweight, load leg | Higher crash scores, easy to use, good handle grip |
| Cons | Expensive, heavy base, harder buckle operation | Hard to loosen, poor install stability, no comfort padding | Harder to install LATCH, difficult buckle, itchy fabric headrest/insert | Hard to tighten harness, hard to use buckle, disappointing comfort | Minimal padding, small canopy, poor stability without base |
| Bottom Line | If your budget allows, this seat has the highest-scoring crash test analysis score | Better crash scores make this wallet-friendly seat a good buy despite its hiccups in comfort and ease of install | Better scores in crash tests with lots of comfort padding, but the headrest fabric and LATCH are a disappointment for the price | Better crash test results make the overall poor ease of use an even bigger disappointment | Impressive crash test results but it isn't the most comfortable for a baby |
