Babylove Vantage

Absolutely amazing – This is so much better than the expansive car seats out there. Its comes with a seat mat to protect your car seat , cousins inserts and arm pads. I also have a maxi cosi and can compare quality, i found the baby love to be stong and durable, soft and plush and my baby looks extremely comfortable in it. Honestly they should be charging 300$ for it… Read more

, it is definitely worth it! And even if you want to see for your self just ask a worker to pull it out of the box so you can see the quality for your self.

A good all rounder – I was able to easily install this seat at 34w pregnant, and it's got a simple and easy system and detailed but straight forward instructions. Our baby generally ends up asleep within 10 minutes, and awake he's very relaxed, not complaining. My only complaint is in getting the baby over the straps, but that would be the same for all car seats.

Great second car seat – Purchased this seat for our second car and I am fairly sure that our baby likes it better than the more expensive seat! Was easy to install, has a front facing recline position which looks very comfortable for sleeping. The side wings are a good size. Bought one for each grandmother's car also!

Very Good Carseat – Very easy to install and use. Easy to adjust the belt. Well worth the price. Very comfortable for baby to sit in and fall asleep. Ive taken off the cover a number of times to wash and it is still like new, hasnt worn out or faded. I would highly recommend this seat.

You certainly get what you pay for – Easy enough to install but it was very cheap quality. We changed to an infasecure neon at around 6 months and up until then my daughter hated being in the car. Very flimsy. Definitely not a seat I'd recommend. Also being an a1 seat it doesn't rf for as long as I would like it to. The material on the seat also starting piling quite early.

Great budget car seat – Easy enough to use and adjust the shoulders, fabulous price and does the job. It's not a bulky seat like some are. Fits in our small car and big car. Purchased for hubby's car but ended up using it in mine as it fits better. Will be buying another soon for the in laws.

A Sound Choice for Safety – I purchased 2 of these as spares for my son. One was for Dad's car and one was for the Grandparents originally. He is now in this permanently in my car as it is much more comfortable than his Hipod Senator and has massive side-wings which makes me feel more reassured. My son in now 4 and is spot on average on the charts with plenty of room until… Read more

he reaches the height marker for the limit of the seat. It has a good recline on it and whilst the fabric isn't as plush as the dearer versions of this seat, it is easy to spot clear and I imagine it would be durable through many machine washes. The seat doesn't come with any padding inserts for newborns and my daughter seemed to flop about a bit in it the few times I sat her in it as a newborn so I'm not sure I would recommend it for this stage. I love the belt buckle clips to either side of the seat to hold the buckles whilst you are removing or seating the child as you don't have to dig around under the child for the clips. Something definitely all seats should have. - Good value - Great quality - Good side protection - Recline in forward-facing mode - High height markers - Durable fabric - No newborn inserts - No shoulder strap covers - No crotch padding

Excellent budget carseat – I bought this seat when we got a second car. I had previously not spent less than $300 on a carseat for our daughter, but this time did not really have the budget to spend that amount of money. There appear to be a great range of carseats on the market now in the $100 - $200 category, and this is one of them. At Kmart it was $129. The seat is… Read more

easy to install. It has clearly marked rear facing and forward facing belt paths, plus an easy to adjust tether strap. The height markers are quite high, meaning that my tall daughter can go back to rear-facing which makes me much more comfortable with car travel. It also has the wide wings at the sides which offer great side impact protection. The recline in rear face mode is excellent, not too flat but still comfortable. The tether strap adjusts from the right hand side, which means that I can easily loosen the strap to lift her in and out of the seat and then tighten again, rather than lift her over the tightened strap, or go to the boot to loosen the tether.

Being a cheaper seat means that the fabric isn't as plush as some of the other seats you can buy, nor does it have an infant insert. It is marketed as 'suitable from birth', however I would probably not buy for a younger baby, and if I did I would have to purchase seperate infant inserts for it. It does not come with covers for the shoulder straps either, and I required a gated buckle for additional stability due to having an older vehicle. I was able to purchase strap covers for comfort and a gated buckle from a local baby shop for less than $20 total, so I wasn't too disappointed by this.

Overall, I am very happy with this seat and I think it's fantastic that safe seats which encourage extended rear facing are available in the budget market. Good value, high rear face markers, easy install. Not as plush as some other seats.
