This is the second one we’ve purchased - after loving it so much for our first daughter over the past couple years and recommending it to all our friends who travel frequently with kids, we decided we needed another one for our second daughter. We find it’s life changing for airplane travel.

The best travel car seat
5 Stars
Love this for travel! It was so great, used it on the plane for my 2 year old and then used it at the destination for my 4 year old. Only downside is you have to tighten the straps individually vs. their big car seats you pull one strap. But overall so worth it and made travel a breeze. I recommend the travel backpack too, we got two blankets in the bag too!
5 Stars
I purchased this car seat for my three year old grandson. I love it. It is very user friendly, great quality, great color and most importantly comfortable…I love the height adjustment that it offers. the light weight features and flexibility of removing from car to car and is top tier excellent..Lastly I must say this chair is for toddler not infant. I highly recommend my family is buying an additional one.
5 Stars
The best travel car seat. Makes traveling with my toddler so easy.
Best decision EVER!
I decided to purchase for a trip to Chicago. It’s very light weight and compact (would fit in overhead bins if you needed it to). Given our frequent Uber rides I felt that it would make traveling easier and I was right! I was able to strap it to the handle bar of my baby’s stroller and go. Super convenient! Can’t wait until our next trip.
Great for Travel
My husband has a half cab Toyota Tacoma, which this seat works great in. There's not a lot of room for a seat in the half cab, but this one does the trick. We have also taken this seat on several trips and I have been able to fold it up and wear it on my back as we go through the airport (be prepared to talk about it, if doing so!). We love that it is not bulky, very light and simple to move in and out of any rental cars. It's more than paid for itself with the traveling we have done.
Sleek, modern and safe
We love this car seat for our two year old daughter. She also liked it right away. It is modern and beautiful design and above all else it is really safe. Highly recommend!
Best Travel Seat
This is the best car seat for traveling - planes, ubers and when the sitter needs a seat in her car! Easy to use and super light to travel with. Great product.
Works
Works well and is safe
Makes navigating the airport significantly easier
We're about to be a 2 Pico household -- these carseats are significantly easier to use when traveling, especially through the airport. They can clear security without coming unpacked and I believe they can be stored in overhead if you don't want to use it on the plane. Easy to install and very secure. Gamechanger for travel with little kids +2 years old.
Love it!
So easy to use and assemble; great for Uber travel especially because it takes no time to install and adjust. I love how lightweight it is and how portable it is, living in a busy city.
Obsessed
Best travel car seat ever! So light and easy to set up!
Very light weight and easy to carry on
This is my go to for traveling with my 2 year old
Worth it!
Super easy for travel after having the airlines damage a $400 car seat this is a much better carry on option.
Light and Easy
As a mother of a 5 year old and 1 year old the pico by wayb was an amazing portable car seat. We are a family of 4 so traveling is always a hassle with so many pieces of luggage. But the pico was efficient, portable and made traveling a breeze. It was unbelievably LIGHT! It was worth the price. And my 5 year felt so comfortable and safe in it. We can't wait to purchase one for our now 1 year old when she is forward facing. 🙌🏽 and we purchased it on sale which is a plus!
Just brought my second one
We have had our Pico for about a year now and I just bought a second one for my daughter. Not only is it great for travel but we also use it for my son's playdates when his friend's parents are picking him up. It makes it so easy to just give them to Pico versus me having to leave a giant car seat at school.
Awesome for traveling
Really awesome, made traveling easier
Better than expected
We bought it to fly overseas, and use in a rented car. It was more comfortable for our kid than we expected, he was even able to sleep on it without problems. It worked well in large and small planes. It worked great on the rented car, and we felt it was solid and safe. We would highly recommend the Pico, it definitely exceeded our expectations.
Perfect for travel!
Amazing! About to purchase a second now that my youngest is big enough. :D
Great Car Seat!
Loved the Pico car seat! I wanted a car seat to use for my 2 year old grandson. This one is so easy to install and use. It is lightweight and much easier to buckle than any other car seat I have used. Highly recommend!
Awesome car seat!
As a parent who doesn’t drive this portable car seat is perfect. Easy to install and set up!
Light, Sleek, & Low Profile,
Very easy to get this seat in and out of the car as it is very light. Love the look as well.
Car seat
Love it great quality and meets our travel needs
Just Buy it, You won't regret it
I have to say I was very skeptical at first based on the price alone, but after a friend bought one to use on the airplane for her toddler son - and I saw how easy it was to install - I was hooked. I bought one for my daughter and she called it her "airplane" car seat (still does) and we have used this thing dozens of times on planes, in ride shares, in rentals, and even in a shuttle van. The more you use it the easier and faster it is to install. We loved it so much we bought a second one when my son was old enough. I love the convenient and light weight design. It is compact and easy to fold up. I will say my one issue is I do wish it just came with a backpack for carrying because the price is steep. But you can wear the actual seat as a backpack if you dont want to invest in a bag - because it does ironically fit well on your back. We have since purchased two of the Wayb Pico carrying backpacks and don't regret it because there is plenty of extra space for your kiddos blanket and favorite stuffy. I would 100% buy this again and I recommend these to all my travel hungry parent friends.
Best travel car seat in the market
We’ve used our Pico multiple times, different car rentals, airlines and has been a game changer in our travel experiences since we got it. It’s a total must!
Perfect for travel
Our little guy needs a little extra “security” on plane rides and this worked a charm.
Happy with this light carseat
It worth it, we were in a long road trip with a one year old baby it saved us because both baby and us had their own space
Good seat for travel!
We’ve been using our pico for travel for the past 3.5 weeks in Europe- it’s been great, kinda wish I would’ve got the backpack as well.
Worth the money
We absolutely love this car seat for traveling and actually now keep in our car at all times. I was able to travel through the airport with this and it weighed less than my diaper bag! It was great in our rental as we had other kids that needed to get in and out of the car and this was not bulky and took up a lot of room. My sisters and I often are helping getting kids to different places so this is great for having an extra car seat that doesn’t take up a lot of room in the car and can be installed in less than 1 minute.
The Best Travel Decision We’ve Made
We made the switch to a PICO car seat once our first turned 3 years old, and immediately we’re grateful for our decision! So much, we purchased a second for our second child! Travel, simplified. Vehicle transfers, smooth. Our seats have been installed in every mode of transport minus a train. Personal vehicle, rentals, ride shares, planes. It’s a completely different ballgame than a standard car seat! Highly recommend because we are never looking back!
Love our WAYB!
We really enjoy our WAYB Pico. It’s the daily car seat our toddler has been sitting in for the past year, and been used for multiple plane rides from the east coast to the west coast, and many road trips up and down the U.S. So, we have definitely got our money worth for this. Installation is super easy, as well as stowing it away, or carrying it around without the bag (which we have also purchased). My toddler will also ASK to install the seat on the plane ride because he feels safer. Since we do travel a lot, it’s easy to push or attach to a stroller. We have had flight attendants ask about the seat, and easily shown them the FAA Approval that is printed on the seat.
Love love love
Perfect for traveling! I am so relieved that I found the Pico. It has made traveling so much easier than using a big car seat. Seriously, if you’re traveling and don’t have access to a typical seat when you arrive, get this seat. Is it perfect? No. But what is. It works perfectly for what we need. Note: did not use on the airplane.
Game changer
This car seat has completely changed the way we travel. My wife and I traveled for years before we had our child. We were planning a trip to Spain, and read online that they were super strict about children being in a car seat. So we bought the Pico and took off. When we landed in Madrid, we stood in line for a taxi. One pulled up, got out of the car and started to walk back towards the trunk. When he saw my child, he said, "Sorry. I can't take you. No car seat." I couldn't believe that on the very first leg of the flight, the internet was right. So I quickly explained to him that within my backpack was the Pico. He said, 'ok', and we took off. During the drive to the hotel, he kept looking back and was so impressed with it. He asked me what the brand way. And of course, while driving, he Googled it. We had two more instances of people unwilling to pick us up in Spain, before they saw we had our own car seat. Since Spain, we've used it all over the US, and it's saved us a ton of money in renting a car seat alongside our car rental. And all the airlines ship the car seats for free, so it's been a very easy transition for us. And most of all, our child feels very comfortable in it. We can't recommend this car seat highly enough.
Low Profile
Needed something low profile to fit in the back of my mustang and this works perfectly.

Safety and Comfort Concerns for Toddlers
ScaryPearls: 'I have one and it’s really great but probably not for a kid under 2... only forward facing.' BullNBear01: 'Upper buckle coming lose easily... toddler can escape... crotch attachment point is way too tight... plastic tabs dig into the tops of his thighs.' julia1031: 'I don’t think this can rear face so I wouldn’t feel comfortable with a toddler under 2 in it'

Installation Ease and Safety Compliance Issues
somekidssnackbitch: 'I would consider the pico (because you can put it in the overhead bin and avoid checking it).' srat21: 'I found the pico to be incredibly easy to install in cars IF you use the latches rather than the seatbelt.' Immediate-Ad-9520: 'They feel very flimsy to me, and I don’t think they offer much protection.' 100SanfordDrive: 'WayB pico is not compliant to the new 213 standards, FYI'

Convenience vs. Safety and Comfort Trade-offs
somekidssnackbitch: 'I like my pico but for a 1yo I would get a cosco scenera next instead. It's lighter weight and will rear face your child.' Important_Twist_693: 'Not the best for sleeping in. My son always looks like he is just leaning forward on the seat belt with his head hanging down.' PinkLemonadeJam: 'Their neck bones are not developed to be safely forward facing until 4 years old... wouldn't use this in a million years for a child under 5.' Kellyneilsintra: 'Biggest complaint? The headrest and lack of recline - if she falls asleep, her head keeps bobbing forward and she can’t sleep comfortably.'

Love for Travel but Cleaning and Rear-Facing Concerns
eframian: 'we absolutely love our Wayb and, for my back, it was well worth the money... it is so light but super sturdy... fits in the overhead when not in use... be careful not to let your kid get car sick on one because damn... It's hard to get the smell out.' mysteryflavordumdum mentions alternative seats. deleted user: 'Ideally, a 2 year old should still be rear facing.'

Airplane Travel is Key Strength, Not Ideal for Car-Only
somekidssnackbitch: 'I think the wayb shines on airplanes, because the kid doesn’t end up with the belt buckle at their back. And you can call an audible and fold it up and stash it in the overhead... If you’re mostly doing car travel or just don’t have $300 to throw around, it’s not an amazing car car seat.' keatonpotat0es: 'Love the Pico!! It wasn’t too heavy for my husband to carry around the airport and it made it easy to use in both the plane and all of the Ubers.'
