So easy to use!, 8 May 2013

This must be one of the best baby products we have bought. We initially spent over half an hour putting our car seat in the back of our car, looking at instructions, working out where the seat belt went, realising that our seat belts must be a lot shorter than the average car (although we only have a Ford Focus) and being completely paranoid first time parents. We were fairly happy that we had it secure enough to transport our new baby home from the hospital until the time came when we wanted to take the seat out and panic set in at the thought of putting it back in the car. A friend suggested one of these and it is brilliant. One installed in the car ( which is a lot easier than putting the actual seat in) it stays in the car and the car seat just clips on to it. To then take the seat out you pull a lever on the back and simply lift the seat out. I can't fault this base, it feels so secure and I am very happy using it to transport my baby daughter around. This is a must if you often...

Really pleased ..., 21 Nov. 2013

We'd previously bought the Graco Logic S HP seat after reading the Which magazine review. Unfortunately the combination of the seat and our car a Ford Fusion wasn't great. The rear seat belt only just fitted around the seat - to be honest it was a real struggle to fit - the last thing you need with a new born crying because she's getting buffeted while you wrestle with the seat.

I didn't order the base originally as Which stated that the combination of the seat and base wasn't as secure as the seat on its own. Which have now revised their review and whilst they still think the seat on its own is a 5 star safety award they now give the seat and base 4 stars.

Fitting the base was easy, one thing I found hidden in the instructions is to press down on the base whilst tightening the seat belt this gets the base very tight in our car. Base installed and the seat just simply clicks in place each time. It seems very stable and I'm so pleased we bought it. I was...

Probably not worth it..., 31 Oct. 2015

We bought this base to go along with a graco car seat that we were given. Installation is pretty simple, but it is not an isofix base. About 2 months after we bought the base, our car seat became stuck in the base. It took a considerable amount of effort to remove. I assumed that it was the car seat release mechanism, but once released the seat appeared to work correctly. The other problem I found is the quality of some of the catches that lock parts in place. The catch which holds the support leg in place is poor and when trying to fold it away for storage, the clip popped out of position and is now not usable. Overall, I wish I had saved the money and just taken the extra 30 secs to strap the seat directly with the seatbelt!
