Effective and Easy
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I bought this car seat to fit into my mother’s smaller sedan. Its really safe and does not weigh too much. The ideal seat for the space we had and it feels very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone who needs a safe ride for the little one but also comfortable for the front passenger/driver.

Awesome upgrade
This review was collected as part of a promotion
A great upgrade for our almost-three year olds travel seat! It’s lightweight and comfortable and easy to install. I carried it through the whole airport without a bag or dolly—which wasn’t easy but it was doable!

Great travel car seat!
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I bought this for my 19 month old as a travel car seat. It’s very easy to install and much lighter than his every day car seat. He seemed very comfortable in it and it was very easy to transport around the airport with a hand cart. We loved how adjustable the head rest portion is and felt it was very safe. I really have no complaints!

Great Travel Car Seat
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I was looking for a car seat that could be used during travel and finally landed on the Contender Slim. Though more pricey than I envisioned, it meets my needs as a car seat that's lighter weight, easy to carry, and easy to install. I've packed it up for airplane travel twice so far. Not for just on the plane, but for rental cars at arrival due to not trusting Car agency Car seats. The seat has withstood being checked on flights with ease. Of note, I do place it in a padded travel bag before checking. It serves it's intended purpose.

Purchased as a travel carseat and it was perfect on the airplane, not too heavy and really easy to install on the plane and in rental cars.

Great Travel Car Seat
This review was collected as part of a promotion
We purchased this seat for my son to take on a trip and I’m so glad! The fabrics are soft and the seat is comfortable. We can use the seat in the airplane and car and bring it along it in the airport with no problem! I It being lightweight without sacrificing safety was a big reason we made the purchase!

10/10 for Travel/Slim Carseat
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I bought this car seat with 2 purposes in mind.
1. A back up car seat in my husband’s car. He won’t use it every often but when he does, something slim and compact works great for his Kia Soul and isn’t too heavy or bulky!
2. An airplane/travel car seat this summer when we take a 6 hour flight. I wanted something that felt sturdier and safer than the popular suggested travel car seat, but still light weight and slim! This one fit the bill, and is PERFECT!
I would recommend this car…

Pretty good
This review was collected as part of a promotion
This is a great seat for both everyday use and travel. It fits well rear facing in my shallow depth back seat with room for the front passenger to still have leg room. It fits well on the airplane and is lightweight enough to travel with, while not being nearly as flimsy and uncomfortable as other travel seats. Would rate 5 stars if not for the fact that it’s pretty tough to get tight rear facing- the only way we have found to get it to tighten enough is to have one adult sit in it while another adult tightens the strap.
