I got to try out this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This will be my "go to" car seat until my daughter ages out of it! This car seat looks and feels premium. The seat is comfortable and padded in all the right spots. Our daughter was too big for the newborn insert, but it was easy to remove. My favorite part about trying it out initially was how easy it was to size her into it. With our other car seat, we've had to rethread the straps through a different slit above her shoulders. With this car seat, we simply had to pull and it automatically adjusted. I feel like this is a big win for safety as it's so easy you can do it right away when you notice an adjustment is needed. I also love that the headrest adjusts with the straps, so they're in the right place. We have more than one car and have been moving one car seat base between each. With this car seat, there's no need for a base. You can use the rigid latch connector to directly click it into place. It also remembers the correct height so it's also properly leveled. It's as simple as clicking it into place, checking for "green" connections, checking it's level and GO! I didn't try it out using a seatbelt, but that's also an option too, which makes this a game changer when you're traveling or not in your normal car. I think of times where I'd call a rideshare while traveling; with this car seat, I would have no worries that I could securely put my daughter in any car without needing to bring a bulky/heavy base along with me. My kiddo has always enjoyed being in her car seat, but she loves this one even more! She's comfortable in it (and often sleeping on the headrest!). Meanwhile I'm confident that she's safe. What more can you ask for? I would highly recommend this as a baby shower gift, especially for families that are often on-the-go, travel, or have more than one car.

I’m really impressed by the GoMax infant car seat! The modern aesthetic and sleek design are exactly what I was looking for in a car seat for my first baby. The seat is so soft and comfortable, and I appreciate that the fabric is made without unnecessary chemicals. My girl snuggles right in and stays content during our many car rides. The canopy is helpful to keep sun out of her eyes and the leatherette grip on the handle is comfortable when carrying the car seat. I also appreciate the simple headrest and harness adjustment system because my 6 month old seems to grow an inch every week! You just pull the lever and can adjust the height while your baby is still in the seat. The best feature is the easy to use rigid latch connector system that gives you the option to install the seat with or without a base! The latches fold out of the car seat and easily click into your vehicle. The red and green indicators make it easy to tell if your seat is secure and the built in bubble level makes sure your baby is reclined correctly. It easily detaches and lifts out of your car with one squeeze of the release lever. I love knowing this seat can easily be installed into the vehicle of a grandparent or friend without having to lug around a heavy base. It is also incredibly convenient when traveling or ride-sharing! Overall, this is a great option for anyone looking for a sleek, safe, and convenient infant car seat! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me this car seat to review.

To be honest, I wasn’t sure how well I would like the rigid latch car seat style. In theory it makes sense to easily install the car seat in multiple vehicles without having to transport a base or deal with each car’s seat belt. In practice, it took a little getting used to, but this car seat was a great fit for our busy life! I love that the rigid latches have the recline memory so I don’t have to finagle the latch into the proper position each time. I also found that releasing the car seat from the car is easier than it was with a typical base! Very smooth transition from the car to our next destination. The adjustable headrest is perfect for keeping my little one safe without having to rethread straps through holes in the back of a car seat every few months. And the fabric of the car seat is so soft too! I will say that using the rigid latches did take some getting use to. In our car in particular, the lower anchors are covered by some fabric that didn’t want to move out of the way for the first several installs. After the first handful of times, though, I can quickly and easily install the car seat. Lastly, I LOVE how big the sun shade is on the car seat. My little one hates when the sun gets in her eyes on long car trips. The size of the shade prevents that from being a problem! The only downside is that my husband doesn’t love the latch system installation. I know it isn’t for everyone, but it does work well for those willing to try something new! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this car seat in exchange for my honest review.

*I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.* This car seat felt great right out of the box. It was plush and soft yet seemed like it would offer great support. It is lighter than other car seats and the hooks on it made installation into the car very easy. The level placement was great and was much more visible than that of other car seats. Getting the seat out of the car was also not difficult at all. My son is quite tall so the addition of the adjustable headrest was great. He seemed very comfortable and didn’t complain at all. I’d definitely recommend this seat (especially if you have a taller child who needs a little more room).

I’m one of those parents who spends hours reading reviews and doing my research before making a serious purchase, so I appreciate a car seat that actually delivers on convenience. One of its best features? It’s ridiculously easy to transfer between vehicles. Whether it’s going from mom’s car to dad’s, grandma’s, or even an Uber, the process is smooth and stress free. The latches are easy to find, and the satisfying clicks and indicators take the guesswork out of installation. Bonus points for the auto adjusting latch setting. It’s like the car seat remembered my first setup and said, “I got you.” The material is soft, easy to wipe clean (because messes will happen), and I love that it has been through rigorous safety testing. One small note: I’d say that for your primary vehicle, purchasing the base may streamline daily use even further. Not a dealbreaker without, but something to consider if you’re all about efficiency. Overall, it’s a solid, well designed seat that makes life a little easier because parenting is hard enough. A big thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat!

I received this car seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I am so glad that I did. I am now a mom of two so I was definitely looking for ways to make it easier having a toddler and an infant. This car seat not only made it easier installing into my car, the stroller is so small and compact that I could place it right into the backseat floor of my car. It took literally less than a minute to put onto my car and check to be sure it had the proper adjustment for my car. I love that feature of not having to worry about a separate base that I have to install into my car and makes it even easier to switch between my car and someone else’s. The car seats fabric is so soft it feels almost like a blanket and my infant loved that. It made it very comfortable for her to sit in for longer car rides. I love how the sunshade comes so far down. It was moments we were out and the sun was blazing I never had to worry about the sun being in her eyes especially when she was asleep because of how far it comes down. The car seat is on the heavier side but the ease of it makes up for the heavier weight. Once attached to the stroller it is super light. It rolls around and turns very easily and to break down you can definitely use one hand to open or close. It has storage space to place a few items nothing too big but you can definitely store a few things and it has a place for a cup or bottle for the adult. My favorite feature of this car seat is definitely the ease of not having a base and being able to use the built-in rigid latch connectors. It’s a game changer as our family has multiple cars and don’t want to spend extra time switching bases from car to car. This is definitely a must have when looking for an infant car seat that is all around convenient with a stroller that is lightweight and moves around with ease. A car seat that is soft and breathable to make sure your infant is most comfortable and eases your mind that it’s chemical free. I am VERY satisfied with this car seat and grateful that Graco is thinking ahead of the game and making life easier for us parents.
