Flexibility hits, small details miss
Installation is quite easy and the carseat functions well. There are a couple things I'd change for future versions: one the bottom of the sides of the hood don't connect at all to the plastic hood guides, leaving the fabric loose and floppy. I wish it was connected somehow, even with a loop of elastic onto the round plastic pieces on the side, it just looks bad (wish it was more streamlined rather than loose) and gets caught on your hand when carrying. Also instead of having to physically push…

3 kids and stressing!
This review was collected as part of a promotion
It is extremely convenient when you’re dealing with having more than one car seat in the back. I have 3 children one kid who doesn’t need car seat one toddler who needs a “grow with me” car seat and one infant. I was stressing out about how I’m going to fit all 3 in the back seat but then I found this and seeing how it doesn’t need a base I instantly knew it was what I was looking for. I love how easy it is to put in and out of a car and I love how the size of it it’s just so convenient for me and my family.

GoMax Instant Baseless Car Seat – First Impression
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I haven’t had the chance to use the GoMax Instant Baseless Car Seat yet, but I did unbox it and examine it closely. My first impression is very positive. The seat feels lightweight, which is a big plus for portability, especially for parents on the go. The quality of the materials stood out right away—the fabric feels soft, well-made, and comfortable, and the overall construction looks sturdy and thoughtfully designed. Setup appears straightforward, and it doesn’t feel bulky or overly…

So Easy!
This review was collected as part of a promotion
We love this car seat! It’s so easy to use. It goes in everyone’s car that has lower latches (which is everyone’s car in our family), so we don’t have to worry about installing bases to switch cars. We also appreciate that when she’s not in the car, we don’t lose a seat due to a base! We use this car seat with the Modes Pramette stroller which we also love!

Buyer Beware!
Would give 0 stars if I could.
We specifically wanted a baseless carseat because we wanted to easily access the 3rd row in both of our SUVs. We’ve bought plenty of Graco products and car seats for all of our kids and I’ve never had any major issues.
Strike number 1 - we have a 2023 Grand Wagoneer that the carseat does not sit appropriately in and we had to end up purchasing a base to be able to use it.
Strike 2 - After 2 months of use the lower latches stopped working. We…
