LuvLap Cozy Car seat

At first look, I absolutely love this car seat. I am primarily comparing this one to the r for rabbit convertible seat (0-7yrs). I was truly apprehensive about my purchase whn i didnt find any reviews of this seat (luvlap cozy) anywhere. But took a chance and ... Wow!! Im extreeemely happy!Pros-- (ultra) thick padding in the insert. padded base cushion (better than r for rabbit)-Crotch cushion sealed in place with velcro and is easily removable for wash-Styrofoam block under the seat- i was initially doubtful if i needed to remove it before use but some research showed that they are used in high end seats abroad too and act to reduce the impact. It is held in place by the surrounding structures so there is no risk of it dislodging the child in a crash (except mayb it breaks apart which inturn acts to reduce the impact). Eps foam also lines the entire seat beneath the cover.- there is also a removable sponge placed under the cushion which i suspect is used for an infant to lie comfortably in the rearward position. It can be removed for a child seated upright (pic of sponge inserted)- can be used in rearward seating (safest) position till 13kgs.-Washable cover-3 position recline-Gives a good boost of height so child can see outside the car-Armrest-Sturdy and strong plastic baseCons (im struggling to find them)- will need atleast 10mins to lock the seat into the car as i have to remove the styrofoam and insert the seatbelt into a lock under the seat cushions (barely a negative- more of a good thing as the seat belt will be locked well into position) ..follow the instructions provided- Head rest is tied into position. The position in the pic is the highest position for the headrest..- may be little difficult to assemble after wash because of the foam lining. But some time taken once in a while is worth it in my opinion.Will update after using several times if there is anything further to add.As for now, this may be slightly more expensive compared to the r for rabbit convertible seat but it is definitely worth it! The cushioning and material quality are excellent! May not come upto graco or chicoo mark but it is definitely worth the price especially when we buy it on discount. I would suggest to go for this one over r for rabbit any day! This seat deserves more recognition!Edit- i do wish the extra headrest cushion could be more adjustable. Now i just remove it when i feel its not required like on smooth roads n short trips when child (toddler) wont fall asleep.-Not so hard to assemble after wash.-At 2 years my child reached a stage wherein he could remove the shoulder straps(cant unlock yet. Only shoulder straps especially if i dont put it tightly enough). So i bought a chest clip seperately from firstcry to hold the belt in place. He doesnt knw to remove that yet.- I also wish the 2nd position (reclination in forward facing) was a little more reclined. The present position 2 isnt significant enough to ensure the head doesnt fall forward. I dont know if other car seats have more reclination option. I also noticed it varies from car to car depending on the inclination of the seat of the car- i also bought a rearview mirror to see my child(forward facing) . Its a great boon especially during longer trips. (Personally i cant sit in the back for long) Got it from firstcry. Size may seem small at first but its actually perfect for use.Please note this is a review for luvlap "cozy" convertible car seat. It does NOT have isofix and is attached using seat belt.

Seat is comfortable for our child. Installation takes some time, as it's based on seatbelts. But, we've never removed it afterwards.Getting child in and out is easy enough. Needed some practice at first though.One issue (reduction in 1 star) is because the bottom is not as large as we expected. Child can't see outside from window by default. We had to put in some Jugaad to put a pillow below him to make that happen.Otherwise, good looks, seems comfortable, easy to use. My kid never seemed to have any comfort complains so far.

Absolutely love it.Pro:Fabric & cushion quality is top notch.Is quite heavy and feels solid. Was easy to setup. Watch Youtube video for setup: https://youtu.be/0AGGAIZoPIcMy son 1.8 year old used to roam in the back seat before. We were skeptical if he would sit quietly in the seat. Surprisingly he sat quietly and enjoyed the ride leaving us wonder why? The elevation given window line view so he was busy observing the road.Packaging was good. It was big 3x4 feet box which was surprising.Tensioners were easy to tighten, buckle was easy to use. Adheres to European standard hence picked this one over other car seats.Picked the blue color so as to not attract attention when car is parked in parking lot. Red tends to stand out.Con:Nothing.Given its size i almost ran out of seat belt and had to wriggle the seat belt to buckle it in. I guess seat belts are all standard length but if it was 3-4 inches longer would have been easy to fit it.Indians usually ignore kids safety in car, i have seen kids in front seat where air bag warning is displayed. So if you are planning on buying car seat pat yourself on the back for being a responsible parent.

Best values convertible booster seat, tight seat belt harness and good to go. Best for age group 8 till 12. But importance to be given here one should consider 4.5 plus feet of baby height before buying

Good

My 6 year old found this to be comfortable . He was able to sit on and fasten the belts himself . The price is really good and for 1000 Rs. Couldn't have asked for more.The padding is similar to my Graco which I use in the other car. Overall a great buy and the plastic quality is pretty goodUpdate - used it for a month on occasional basis and this really suits the purpose . For reference my son is 4 ft tall and about 28-30 kgs

Product is good

This seat is too high at the edge(front) which creates an unusual lift for the kids legs and make it uncomfortable.Would not suggest this product to anyone buying online.Go to a physical store if you really need it and not to forget this is non-returnable.
