Advantages: Attractive and lightweight

Disadvantages: Far too small

I chose this particular baby carrier as it fitted onto our Quinny travel system. I also found that this was quite a popular choice as well as being aesthetically pleasing and surprisingly lightweight. I chose the bright and colourful skydive design from the many colour options available.

My son is a relatively small baby, being just 7lb at birth. Yet at 4.5 moths he had almost outgrown this seat. His legs overhung at the back and as this was rear facing his knees were often bent up against the back seat.

I spoke to the store where we purchased this item and was told that it was fine for my baby's legs to overhang, despite the uncomfortable position. However around a week later whilst on a car journey, as my son's legs were bent against the seat, he managed to tip the infant carrier forward and his neck dropped down. My husband and I did not notice this had occurred until we heard a coughing sound and pulled over. We were shocked to see our baby leaning forward with his neck bent at such an unnatural position and quickly changed to a different brand of car seat.

Summary: Not recommended
