Smart Convertible Car Seat

Also looks pretty!

I have one for my car, and my wife had a pretty expensive seat in her car from a very popular, "leading" brand. while this seat is substantially more expensive than others, it is truly better in every way I can think of. First and foremost, it looks and feels more protective. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why the load leg is not a universal thing for convertible seats as it basically is for infant seats. This seems like it should just be a no-brainer safety feature. The fact that you have the load leg, LATCH attachments, seatbelt passthrough and anti-rebound bar, protective egg-shaped shell, the most robust side impact protection of any seat, and the highest rear-facing body weight, make this the safest seat available. The next most important thing is that it is definitely way more comfortable for our daughter than our other seat, per her report. The straps and the padding around the straps are never twisted and the pads are always in exactly the correct spot. The seat that has been in my wife's car is expensive and it is such a disappointing pain dealing with the twisted straps; for that much money, the straps and strap pads shouldn't be getting twisted--the BabyArk straps and pads don't. It is SO much easier to clean and take off/put on the seat cover; just zip off/on. And we have a spare seat cover for roadtrips for expected unexpected occurrences. There are WAY WAY less crevices for food to fall into compared to our other seat. Our daughter actually sleeps in the BabyArk for long periods of time, unlike the other seat or even her infant seat. And her travel milk cup actually fits in this cupholder, unlike the useless cupholder on the other seat, because the BabyArk one has a larger diameter to accommodate little kids' travel cups that have a larger diameter...Lastly, due to my work needs, and due to the fact that I park outside on a West-facing driveway that gets super hot, I frequently need to remove the seat and sometimes the base and keep them in the garage. It is just so easy to take this seat and base out of the car and reinstall them compared to most other seats that have a pretty involved, finicky and time-consuming process. This was a major factor in my BabyArk purchase. A perfect install is so straightforward and reproducible and takes like a minute. All of the other above reasons have just addd up so that we now got a second one for my wife's car. We hemmed and hawed about getting a second due to the price, but we also live in a natural disaster prone area and have had to evacuate on short notice and did not want to ever have the scenario where the one car seat was in a car that was not at home. It is expensive and not within reach for everyone, and it is big and may not comfortably fit in a small vehicle (due to front passenger seat positioning requirements). If you have the means and it will fit in your vehicle, you will absolutely not be disappointed. This seat really is that much better than everything else. They just thought of everything.

This car seat is great and the kids love it

Our 4 month old loves the babyark car seat! As soon as we switched her to the convertible car seat we have noticed she’s significantly more calm and comfortable in the car. She also easily falls asleep now which is perfect for longer car rides. Would happily recommend to other parents!

I ordered two classic car seats, and unfortunately they were left on the curb about 80 yards from my house instead of being delivered to my house. When I contacted customer service, they blew me off, not offering so much as an apology. The product itself is very good, but the whole experience has definitely cooled my feelings about the company.
