This seat is an old fav. The best features: It’s lightweight (7.5 pounds), performs great in crash tests, is easy to pop in and out of its base, and has a rotating 180-degree canopy to keep baby good and shaded. The carrying handle is also more ergonomic and cushy than some other seats, making it easier to lug around as a carrier. Just be sure to grab a model made in 2007 or later - earlier models didn’t have EPS foam protection.
