comfortable ride
This 3-in-1 convertible car seat is for my 2.5 years old son. He is 26 lbs and still using rear-facing seat. What I like the most about this car seat is the weight and size. We already have two car seats in the car, the frame of the car seat is the right size if we plan to put another one in the future. It's a lot more compact then my old one and fits in our car perfectly. It’s also easy to install. I also love the integrated cup holder on the side, it’s very useful and convenient to bring water bottle on the go. The seat fabric is cushioned. It feels very comfortable. My son seems to love his new seat!
A fantastic ride!
I love this car seat! It is so simple to make sure the little ones are safely secured. The bubble makes certain they are correctly installed every time. The cushioning around the head ensures a level of protection I'm thankful for. His head stays upright instead of falling off to the side. He falls asleep within 10 minutes, wherever we are headed, so I know it's very comfortable for him. The harness is easy to adjust for the perfect and secure fit. I am thrilled this is one that will grow with him, without having to upsize later. He will is attached to his special ride just as he is to his blanky.
Best car seat
I absolutely love this car seat and feel safe every time I place my son in it. The seat has several different shoulder strap levels so your baby can grow with the seat. You can use it rear facing and front facing and my absolute favorite part is the recline. When the level is in green in recline position it keeps your baby’s head safe from falling forward when they do fall asleep. At first I wasn’t happy that the button to loosen the straps was hidden but now that my son is older and can press buttons it’s nice that he can not find it like on his previous seat. It comes with padding already on the shoulder straps so that it doesn’t dig into his neck and leave red cuts along his neck when you tighten straps
The Best!
I absolutely love this I cannot believe I waste along to get this period there are so many different options to adjust to fit your child individually. I love that you can adjust so many different levels that you can do for them. Expressly science average child is different and every child gross differently. And I love that the head pelo is separate from the ephant snuggle or so even smaller kids or any child that falls asleep and their car seat can use it. I deftly recommend this I cannot stop raving about it. If I have another child I am definitely getting this again.
Child Safety
The baby trend trooper car seat was a perfect fit for my grandson. The car seat was very well padded and had great head support, this is very important since my grandson tends to fall asleep each time we take a car ride. The car seat is lightweight and was extremely easy to install in my vehicle. I really enjoy that this car seat will grow with my grandson and there will not be a need to purchase another one. I really enjoyed the cup holder built into the seat, it was a great size for various size bottles, and it was placed where he could easily grab his own cup during our trips. Overall I was very pleased with this car seat and even more pleased that I will be able to keep this seat as it grows with him and I won’t have to purchase another car seat in the future
Everything you need in a car seat!
I bought this as a spare car seat for my husband to keep in his car. We needed something we could use for either of our children, we have a 10 month old and a 2 year old. This car seat works great and thankfully it is really easy to make adjustments to it when switching out between the two girls. Hooking it up is easy enough and straight forward as well. We just keep it in the rear facing for both of them and their is plenty of room to do so. I really like the cup holder as well, works great for a cup, snack or toys.
No frills, but lightweight and simple to install
This car seat is lacking fancy features like a sliding adjustable harness, push-to-connect latches, rebound bar, etc., but that makes the seat very lightweight and simple to install. It is perfect for traveling as it is less than half the weight of my other car seat that does have all the "bells and whistles". I do like that it has a built in cup holder though. This seat is also very easy to transfer from one car to another and it is narrow enough to fit 3 seats side by side which is a huge deal if you have multiple kids. The directions could be better, but it has a QR code that takes you to different installation and adjustment videos that will guide you through the process. Adjusting things initially is still a bit confusing, but becomes much easier once you figure it all out the first time. Lastly, it must be comfortable because my 2 year old (who NEVER sits still) climbed in it when it was on the floor and sat in it for a good 10 minutes with a smile on his face!
Fantastic budget seat!
My sister recently had a baby. I was invited to the shower I knew I wanted to get her one of the larger items on her list. Being a single mother I I knew how difficult it would be for her to afford larger items and how essential a quality seat was! So I went on the hunt for something that she would not have to replace 6 months from now or a year and then again another year something that was last her a very long time. I came across this Trooper 3 in 1 convertible car seat. And it checked every box that I had in both quality, looks and pricing! I gave it to her about 2 weeks ago and she was ecstatic! We chose it in the gray color because it actually matched her vehicle quite perfectly and looks like it came with it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this for my next baby shower!
Perfect size for smaller cars
I am in love with this car seat! It is the perfect car seat for smaller vehicles! It will fit 3 across in my Kia Forte. It’s made car travel and buckling much easier! It is easy to remove the cover to clean as needed. I love that the cup holder is in reach for my son. The only thing I don’t like is the amount of effort needed to move the straps up and down as the child grows. It took me 20 minutes to set it up for my son. Even with the extra time to set up I would buy more in a heartbeat!
Three across!
I got this carseat for my 2 year old to rear-face in our newer model second car. He is on the tall side and weighs 27 lbs. We plan on having him rear face another 6 months and can easily do that in this seat. I choose this seat because it will fit three across. It doesn't take up alot of space for a carseat that's rear facing and doesn't crowd the nearby seat. I installed it using the latch system and it was fairly easy to get a snug fit. It comes pre-adjusted for a newborn infant so I had to make adjustments to fit my older son. It's not too complicated to make adjustments especially after the initial time. I liked the quick start manual that allowed you to scan a QR code to watch an instructional video. My 2 year old is happy with his new seat and most importantly I feel he's in a safe and secure seat.
Safe, comfortable, great quality carseat
This is an amazing carseat! I love that it has the option to grow with my little one and it's super easy to install and adjust. Its very gender neutral in its colors which is great as well. Very soft and comfortable- it's lightweight, too! This is a very well made carseat that you can feel confident putting your little one into, knowing that they are safe. I would highly recommend picking one up! The best convertible carseat I have ever owned! Check it out!
Great features, good quality, easy to use product!
Acquired this product after doing lots of research in trying to find the perfect cost effective car seat for my growing 1 year old. This specific seat came in and was exactly what I expected, a quick / easy use car seat! The straps are cozy and easy to adjust and provide solid support for my child. The 3 stages/levels are going to be perfect going forwards since it seems my little one is growing more everyday. Head protection is solid and snug and provides a comfortable fit. The lever on the back side is super easy and quick to adjust seat angles and comes with the handy level on the side to ensure you stay even. The seat seems to go higher than most I have come across in the past which is perfect considering how quickly children grow! Overall, zero complaints so far and would recommend this product to anyone else in search of a quality, cost effective car seat for their little ones!
Easy to use and versitile!
Gave this for my friend for her first baby. She already had one, but she used it for her car seat safety class and was super impressed about how easy to use it was and will give to her parents to use. She likes that she can use it coming home from the hospital to 65 lbs and that it can go rear and front facing. The bubble indicator is a great feature to ensure it is angled properly.
Car seat perfection
I am obsessed with the grey color of this car seat. It’s the perfect neutral color for boy or girl. I’m always interesting in trying out new car seats. At first figuring out the straps was kind of tough. But also.. I probably could have looked at the instructions lol. All together I love it and the look of it. It seemed super light weight and slender too
We love this car seat!
We got this for my 2 year old son. It seems to be very comfortable at least that’s what he tells me. I love that it converts and grows with your child. I just wish we would have gotten one like this sooner. It seems to have great safety fetchers. If we have another little one we will definitely be buying another. I would recommend this product.
Comfortable
I have a picky toddler that doesn't like to be restrained. She is much more willing to get strapped into this seat since it is much more comfortable than other car seats we have used. I like the built-in cup holder. It is functional but doesn't get in the way. The straps are strong and comfortable as well.
3 in 1
I love the convience and comfort of the Trooper 3 in 1 convertible car seat. From infant to toddler they have you covered. They make it easy to install whether you need front or rear facing. I have full confidence that my children are safe when using this car seat.
Comfy
My kids love this seat! It is comfortable for them. I like that it is more compact, being that I have three all in car seats, I need to save as much space as possible. I refuse to buy a minivan! I think I might add at least one more of these to our vehicles!
So sleek looking
This car seat does not look bulky at all. Love the sleekness of it. Love that you can convert this as the baby grows. We currently have the seat installed and loving it so far. Seems comfortable for my kid to sit in for car rides, no complaints yet! Nice!
Excellent carseart
Love, love, love this car seat. I love that is can grow with my child. It has a easy to read leveler built in as well and easy to read and understand instructions. I love the neutral colors and the built in cup holder is a great addition. I recommend.
Great product
I just got this great carseat for my grandson who will be born in September Trooper™ 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat is well made and will grow with my grandson it is good new born toddler and booster seat and has a cup holder which is always great.
approved
This car seat was relatively easy to install and seems pretty sturdy and reliable. It is also pretty light weight which makes it easier for woman to move and install in smaller car. Baby seems to be comfortable and safe. Beautiful color too.
Very lightweight
This is a very easy to handle car seat which comes in handy especially if you need to transfer between vehicles, also has large padded head rest area keeping baby comfortable. Also will last as long as child needs to be in a car seat.
Awesome car seat
My baby has grown his car seat and this couldn’t have come in at a better time as a second stage. It is very durable and the design is well made to last us longer than him out-growing it. It safe and comfortable without being bulky.
Very Nice Car Seat!
My wife and I bought this car seat a few weeks back, and we love it, and more importantly, our little boy loves it. It is super comfy and easy to install. It is also very easy to clean. We would definitely recommend this car seat.
Good carseat
So far this car seat is good. It wasn’t too much of a hassle to install it into my car as long as you read the instructions fully. I like that my daughter seems comfortable in this and that she still can use this for some time!
Cool
My daughter loves it.. She never wants to leave the car. It looks very comfy and super safe. I love the colors . I also love how easy it is to install and the different ways it can be installed. i like how it grows with her
Great
This car seat is wonderful. Its thin dimensional design allows to fit three car seats across in a car. Its padded and easy to install in most vehicles. Child is comfy In it. Padded enough for infant to toddler age children.
Great seat!
This seat is great quality for the price. It is a great middle of the road option that is very durable. It is so versatile and can be used for years. Switching between the different seating options is also very simple.
Worked great for my child
I just received the Baby Trend Trooper 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat. It was super easy to install in my suv. I loved how comfortable it seemed for my little one. It has a good size back that's not too bulky in the car.
amazing
I bought this about a month ago and I absolutely love it. I think it is amazing that as your baby grows you can make it transform the seat to fit the baby. It saves me so much money in the long run. Love it
Amazing product
The Trooper™ 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat is a very lightweight and amazing car seat. My daughter loves how soft it is and falls asleep right away during our drive. The color is also very neutral and nice.
3-in-1 baby/toddler carseat
This is a good carseat. It grows with your child. My son just turned 1 and he is on rear-facing seat. The carseat itself is good quality. It comes with a cup holder, top and bottom latch on the back. I love the color. This carseat have 5 position shoulder height adjustment and 3 position crotch buckle for seat adjustment so it grows perfectly with your little one. Weight carry to use for it is 18 pounds for rear facing to 65 pounds forward facing. It's very comfortable carseat and have durable protection carseat. It's very easy to use and no need tools to placed it in the car.
The dream car seat
This car seat is absolutely fantastic. Install was super easy, with directions that were very easy to follow. The straps are easily adjustable and have extra padding around the neck area which my little one loves. The center piece where the straps hook in is adjustable (can go closer or further in) which is a feature I have not seen in many other car seats. I also love that this seat can adjust with her as she grows. The material seems super durable and the overall look of the car seat is nice. Looking forward to using it for years to come!!
Easy to assemble
I am so happy that I will never have to buy another car seat for my little guy. This was super easy to assemble and put into my car. The straps can be adjusted as needed, and it won’t be a difficult task. I also like that I can remove the cover and wash it as I need to. I was able to clean up a sucker mess easily with a disinfectant wipe as well. The compartment on the side fits a phone, juice box, or a small toy or snack. It is nice she can reach it with no assistance. I am very happy with the Trooper 3 in 1 careseat!
Light, easy set up, secure
I was so pleased with this baby trend 3-1 cars seat. It is perfect for my one year old to transition into. The head rest is very secure around his head and I know i feel safe when putting him in. It is very light weight which makes my life easier if I need to switch cars. I love the colors very sleek and modern looking. The harness and the clasps were very tight and secure. I love that it is a 3 in 1 because that means my baby has room to grow. All and all this is a wonderful seat for your little one, I highly recommend it.
Just transitioned to forward facing...
My daughter turned 2 so I transitioned her to this new car seat forward facing. She was over the moon excited to be sitting the same direction as her brother. Overall I love how easy this car seat was to set up. The back had Velcro placers to hold the extra straps in place and the straps in the front of the car seat are not too thick (which I hate for hot days) and they have textured grips so they don’t slide around like other car seats we’ve had. There is plenty of cushion. In fact, I left the extra padded insert in because I have a long and skinny kid which adds extra side support. My only issues are the car seat buckle between the legs is short, stubby and not padded like other car seats so it tends to bother my daughter if she slides down in her chair. It is not very adjustable either. On the last setting it still sits too close to her body by an inch or two. the other issue was just a convenience factor since My oldest car seat comes with spaces to hold the seat belt open when we sit him into it and this one does not. Overall we really like this car seat and she is comfortable in it.
Nice budget friendly narrow seat
I was looking for a new seat for my 4 year old. He wanted a rear facing seat and I wanted a narrow seat. The only problem was he was too tall for the narrow rear facing seat i had and most narrow seats were too expensive for my budget. And than I found the Trooper. It's budget friendly at only $99 It's narrow, under 17" wide at the cupholder and at the shoulders. And it's taller than the previous rear facing seat i had. The fabric is really soft and comfy feeling. I found the user manual easy to understand and didn't have any issues installing the seat in my van. This seat will fit tiny newborns. And my 6.5 year old still fits in it forward facing. I definitely recommend this seat if you are looking for something narrow, and don't want to spend a fortune.
Comfy
So my daughter loves her new car seat. She's 9 months and it fits her perfect. It also fits perfect in my 2017 honda pilot, but i'm not sure if this would fit good in a tiny car. My only complaint is the straps move a whole lot, so if you have a child who hates their carseat and moves a lot, it makes it harder to buckle them in.
Seems so comfortable!
I bought this for my one year old as his next car seat and it’s so roomy and comfortable looking! It’s a bit tricky to install and the straps get twisted sometimes but other than that, it’s a great seat!
3-1 Convertible Car Seat
So awesome came in just in time because my babygirl needed a new one. I love the neutral colors as well. My daughter loves it. She was trying it out and wouldn't get out of it meaning she loves it. Its easy to read the instructions.
High Quality Car Seat!
I recently got this car seat for my four year old and I am super impressed. When I got it out of the box, I immediately noticed how padded and soft the fabric was. I absolutely love the grey color, it is very gender neutral. If you are using this for a smaller child, you will love how deep the side wings are as it allows for more cushion and better head support. This car seat is so lightweight which I was thrilled about since my old one was so heavy which made it such a hassle to transfer the seat from one car to another! Adjusting the straps to fit our little one was easy and the instructions were very detailed. Installing this car seat into our SUV was super simple and within a few minutes our little one was ready for his first ride in his new car seat! The cup holder is wide enough to fit most cups and deep enough so that things don’t fall out easily. My four year old is a little messy at times so I like how easy it is to remove the car seat cover to wash it. I have other children in car seats and I couldn’t believe how super slim the base of this seat is! I will be purchasing this exact model for my other children. I love that this Baby Trend Trooper 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat grows with your little one. It converts to rear facing for infants to rear facing for toddlers and then to forward facing! I know I will be using this car seat for years to come as it goes up to 65 pounds. If you are looking for a new car seat, I highly recommend this one!
Its the best!
This Baby Trend Trooper is amazing!!! I wish I had it sooner! It's beautiful and gender neutral! It's a car seat that your baby can keep growing into, and it's the only one you will ever need! It is really easy to adjust the straps and also all the other transitional accessories. The shoulder pads are so great! They have a nice grip so they stay in place, it helps me feel more secure about it, then other seats. I really like how the back of the straps have Velcro. It has a built-in cup holder which I really liked! It is really easy to install and uninstall in my car in need be. This really is the best and Ive used multiple seats before with my other children.
Great carseat!
We absolutely love this carseat! Our previous carseat was pretty pricey and "top of the line" but this carseat has better features, nicer colors, & looks better in our car. My son loves his new carseat and wants to go go more. I feel the straps are made of strong material and the this carseat seems to be made well with my child's safety in mind. We definitely recommend this carseat and we absolutely love Baby trend products.
Super light weight!
My toddlers current car seat is a pain to get in and out of so when saw the baby trend trooper, I thought it would work better. It is super light weight which is always a plus when it comes to car seats and it’s narrow which is good for parents with multiple Car seats side by side or for air travel. It has two setting one for rear facing and one for front. Has a movable headrest and a removable seat cushion. The front facing option is supposed to be suitable for up to 65lbs. My 2yr old is 48 lbs and tall and unfortunately will not fit. She did say it was comfy when she sat down in it ( so cudos for the cushioned searing). I got one strap over her arm and the other wouldn’t go over other arm. Had the straps pulled as far as would go . I’m assuming maybe because the seat is narrow it would accommodate my Child but was kinda a let down since it was suppose to support up to 65lbs. We are trying for another little one so I will hold on to this one for future baby as I do feel it is a great quality made seat and easy to adjust , just wasn’t made for a Chunky tall toddler .
Durability at it's finest!
So happy to have this product especially that I have an upcoming baby soon. I actually love the durability and securedness of the straps which gives me comfortability and securedness for my child. Has a cup or bottle holder which is a plus as well. I kind of loving the 3-in-1 convertible thing cuz we could change it in three different things. Very very happy for this product❤
Soft and safe!
I love the Baby Trend Trooper car seat for my little one! He is a little over a year old and love that it’s rear facing and can eventually turn front facing when he gets older! He seems to really enjoy it and seems comfortable for him. He sleeps almost instantly when we get in the car! It has deep cushion sides for more safety and comfort, adjustable straps as baby grows and a cup holder! It’s easy to install and figure out with the angle and what not and lightweight which is great! Fits my little one great and I’m glad it can adjust and switch sides as he grows! It’s so perfect!
Great Car Seat!
The Baby Trend Trooper 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat is the best car seat! Install was easy, with the built-in bubble level indicator I was able to find the correct angle. The shoulder buckle has 5 positions and the lap buckle has 3 positions. It converts from rear-facing infant seat and rear-facing toddler seat to forward-facing toddler seat. I love the premium fabric and it’s nicely padded. The cup hold is big enough to hold a snack or cup. It’s lightweight enough to easily transfer from one car to another. In all, a high-quality car seat. Highly Recommend!
Great Car Seat
This car seat is everything you need for your baby to travel safely in your car. The seat is well made and very padded for your babies protection. You can use this seat for a infant or for a toddler which is a great feature. It is a neutral color so it could be used for a boy or girl. It is light Weight and very easy to carry and transfer it to another car. I had no problems installing it on my own. Having my baby use this car seat reassures me that she is safe and secure in the seat and I won't have to worry about her getting out of it while I drive. I would recommend this car seat to all new parents and parents of toddlers. I feel good knowing that my daughter is safe and protected while in this car seat.
Great carseat
Great car seat. Both the baby and my 7 yr old ( 40 lbs) fit comfortably. The car seat was easy to put in the vehicle and it’s light enough that my wife can transfer it from the car if needed. The color is more of a white grey then a grey grey.
Very nice, just wish the canopy was bigger.
I love this car seat. It's perfect for the 3 month old. And it's very easy to change the seating. So I could change it from having it for the 3 month old to having it for the 4 year old in no time at all. The cushions are very soft, and the straps aren't scratchy. It is very easy to adjust the buckles as well. The only problem I have with it is that the canopy is very small. It's great for a toddler seat. But with the baby, it's not as nice since it doesn't cover as much.
How easy it is to stall
I love how easy it was to install and I love how my son‘s head fits in it specially when he was sleeping when we’re on the road and it was really easy to adjust the straps and I love all the safety features on it, and I definitely love the sunvisor that came with it 
Sweet seat
This is a really nice carseat. I love how many stages it will grow with a child. It's not to bulky, fits well in my 2015 Chevy Cruize. The material is soft to the touch and feels cushiony. The cup holder is at the perfect height and distance for a child's reach. It was a breeze to change the settings for the belts to fit my child. The only issue I have is where the harness locks in her lap I have moved it as far forward as the material will allow, although there is another slot in the hard plastic. She says ouch because of the downward turn of the buckles. It lays right on her thigh. I have included pictures to show what I mean.
This 3-in-1 car seat from the brand babytrend is without a doubt the best I have ever owned. It is super easy to install and also brings the instructions, the fabric is soft, easy to wash, super comfortable and fluffy, the belt can be put on several levels to use as your baby grows. As its name says it can be used in 3 ways, which is great because it can be used by my baby of months or my daughter of 4 years. I really like that it has a good height since it protects the head very well, thus avoiding neck or head injuries. It is worth every penny it costs for the quality it has and even more when it comes to the safety of our children, super recommended.
Lightweight, budget-friendly.
The Baby Trend Trooper 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat is a versatile and budget-friendly option. The car seat is easy to install and transitions smoothly between rear-facing and forward-facing. Additionally, the recline feature provides three positions, making it suitable for younger infants and older toddlers. There is a removable canopy included, which might be useful for infants. This car seat is a very lightweight, making it perfect for travels or switching between cars. However, there is no travel bag included, so it might be slightly inconvenient to take it on a plane. Well-secured packaging includes a manual and makes the unboxing process.
Very comfortable!!
My son was in need of a new car seat, he wore the other one out. The car seat can be used as a rear facing or front facing, which is good. He can be facing the front and be comfortable. Very easy to install the car seat, easy to put your child inside and safely lock him out beside the seat. It’s a grey color but can be used for either a boy or girl. First time ever using a baby trend product and I must say it’s a great car seat. My son loves it, so that’s the best thing!!
Great option for lay down/upright in one! Very eas
This car seat is a great option if you’re looking for a lay down/upright in one! It takes one second to adjust the bar at the bottom to switch it and I love that I can use it for years as baby grows! The shade is such a nice add on as well! Feels comfy and I appreciate how light it is for transferring to and from different cars!
Great Car Seat!
This Baby Trend Trooper 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat is perfect and definitely meets, or even exceeds, my expectations! It excels in all three of the mentioned attributes: quality, comfort, and style. I personally love the gray and black look - I’m all for the neutral colors! It just looks nice in any color scheme of a car. Plus, it is very gender neutral. As for comfort, it is very well padded in all areas. The seat cover is cushioned, and it comes with a padded head pillow, body insert, and hardness covers. There isn’t really any need to buy extra head pillows for your child because there is one already built in that does the job nicely, which I love. It has some other great features incorporated as well, including a cup holder, harness tension adjuster, harness buckle, a strip to indicate twisting, anchor connectors for added security, and different level harness slots. All features mentioned are safe and easy to use. It is also easy to install the car seat into your vehicle with added security of knowing your child is safe!
I love it!
I love that it will grow with my child! Can be front or rear facing and is very well constructed! Comes in a very neutral color for boys or girls. Starts off as a car seat for an infant and grows with your child! I love the fact it helps cushion your child head! As your child grows the car seat modifies to grow with your child! Keeps your babies safe!
Easy Transition to older infant Car seat
I struggled to find the best convertible car seat for my daughter after she outgrew her infant car seat/carrier she is very long and tall but only one I love the Trooper 3-in-1 Convertible car seat because it can grow with her so I receive the maximum usage and value of the device. I love that she can ride forward facing and even checked with safety requirements and it was ok I attached a photo to show her height. I also love that at each of the restraints there are instructions and diagrams to help with the install which while a bit tricky at the initial onset it became easier to the finish line. The material is easy to clean with a damp not wet sponge and mild soap it also has a cup holder and adjustable harness I am happy with her new car seat and feel confident that it will do the job and protect her
Love the Canopy !
This was baby boys first big boy car seat and I absolutely love it ! It was easy to adjust just for him and the installation process was very simple ! I love the cup holders on there but most of all the CANOPY like omg it made trips in the sun so much more comfortable for him !
Great Carseat!
This is a great carseat. Installation is easy and with the level indicator you feel good about the position angle. I am currently using it rear facing for my 2 two year old, and she loves it and seems comfortable. I love that it can be installed with the LATCH system and the cup holder is an added plus. The fabric is also great and soft. Overall, this is definitely a great seat we will use as long as possible.
Easy install
This 3 in one convertible car seat is perfect for my little one. I was looking to have a transitioning car seat that would last us for years. She loves it! It is comfortable and easy to install. It is from 4-65 lbs and has a leveling bubble to make sure your install is perfect. There is even a cup holder for her to use. This slim design was the perfect chose for our angel!
Good bang for the buck
This is a great choice for a lower cost car seat. The fabric is very soft and comfortable for baby. The seat is very lightweight and would be great for air travel. I like the headrest included as well as the infant insert. The cup holder is a nice extra too. Lots of nice features for a good price.
Great option!
Love that this car seat can be used for many years... from birth until they out weight it. Love the color of the car seat... Was easy to make the changes necessary for my child to fit into the seat making it safe for her. The car seat itself is pretty lightweight so easy to lift and install.
Super Easy to Use
Very pleased with this car seat. It is really easy to install and works nicely in our compact car. The instructions made it very easy to ensure we were installing it and using it correctly. To top everything off, we really enjoy the clean look of the seat.
Great seat
This car seat is fantastic. It is narrower than other seats we have had. The cup holder is within the side of the seat rather than sticking out. It is comfortable and fits my big 2 year old well. It comfortably hugs my child ,feels safe.

Baby Trend Trooper recommended as affordable travel car seat option
I opted for the Baby Trend Trooper because it has higher weight limits and I had heard the Cosco one can be hard to install. The trooper was less than $100. ... I think the rate of people getting car seats and strollers destroyed is not as high as the internet would have you believe. ... You could get the babytrend trooper for ~$100 and check it, or bring it on the plane for the baby to sit in if you buy them a seat.
Installation questions and tips for Trooper 3-in-1
I’m having trouble installing the Trooper forward-facing with seatbelt because the belt path is tight and the buckle ends up right where the belt path is. ... Also, the harness loops are confusing. I had to watch a YouTube video to figure out which loop to use for my child’s height.
Positive experiences using Trooper for travel and narrow spaces
I have the Baby Trend Trooper and it fits perfectly on the plane. It’s so narrow I can fit it in the middle seat and still have space on both sides. ... It’s also super light and easy to carry through the airport. I use a padded backpack bag from Amazon to gate check it.
Comparison between Trooper and Safety 1st Ellaris for three-across
The Trooper is definitely narrower, so if you need three across, that might push you toward it. But the Ellaris has a smoother belt path and the cover comes off for washing. ... A CPST friend of mine said she’s seen more installations with the Trooper come in wrong because the manual isn’t super clear on some parts.
