This car seat was great when my son was a newborn. He had lots of room and I could easily strap him in. Now that he is a few months older he just seems so uncomfortable in it and does not like going in. That being said, once he is in and moving he's great. It easily clicks into the base in the car. You also don't need the base, you can use the seat belt and a rolled up towel or noodle which is great when my husband has the car with the base. I also love that it fits so easily into the Britax B agile stroller. All in all it is a good car seat, especially when usin it with the stroller.
