Maxi-Cosi Peri 180° Rotating Infant Car Seat, Desert Wonder

We got this as part of a testing program, so yes it was free, here is my honest opinion about the product. The installation is a dream, especially for first time parents. It has a belt pathway that secures in place and keeps it from moving, it also has green/red indicators to tell you if it's tight enough, which is a big help in knowing your little is actually well secured, it also has a QR code showing you a video of how to get a proper install. The seat is super plush, reclinable and has an extendable canopy feature, which is inside a zipper under the canopy, great for those of us that have a lot of sun and is needed for the stroller or the long car rides to keep the sun away from their little faces. Our old main car seat was a competing brand, but not rotating, and our daughter hated it, this one? Smiles from the get go!! It is very plush, my husband calls it a baby lazy boy! It reclines, it rotates which is not only convenient but also a game to my daughter and she loved it! I did put in a suggestion for different colors as my only "negative", because babies are messy and light colors tend to not live unstained for long. That being said it's washable and very easy to take apart and put again after it's done. Overall we loved the experience with this seat, so much so we upgraded to the next version!
