The base snapped easily into the LATCH system in our car (Mazda CX-5). Installing it is really very easy. Maybe watch their YouTube video if you have doubts but anyone should be able to do this in 5 min. Seat snaps quickly in an out of it and feels really well built. Happy to start cruising around with this!After having to unexpectedly replace our carseat short weeks before our second little's arrival, we had to make some quick decisions. Here are our reasons for choosing this car seat over others on the market.1. Baby Jogger has proven their brand through durable, high-functioning, consistently high-ranking, easy-to-use strollers. We're taking a chance on this new-to-the-market seat, but we're convinced they'll stand behind their product & work with us should problems arise (unlike the manufacturers of our previous seat, making this consideration a top priority.)2. A small, narrow seat that could fit in the backseat of our compact car, sharing the space with our toddler's still rear-facing seat & allowing both driver & front passenger to travel in comfort.3. Have a higher-end weight & height limit for infant seats. (We both have Dutch heritage - tall & big babies are common genetic traits!)4. Lightweight & a good size for air travel.5. Easy to install properly - with & without the base.Some other points it hit that weren't necessary, but are still appreciated: easy to adjust, good looking, large sun canopy (not sure what a previous reviewer's issue was with the canopy fabric - we didn't notice.) As well, the grey is an excellent choice (will still go well with our 2014 amethyst city mini stroller) and the fabric is plenty comfy for a babe (no baby needs everything to feel like minky!)The only thing that could be different would be the placement of the warning labels - definitely not a deal-breaker, and you certainly can't miss them, but it does seem odd to attach them to the fabric on the insert right next to baby's head where the seams could, potentially, possibly, irritate.Love everything about this car seat.Purchased for my daughter and she's very happy. Thank you for such a great productWhen I'm pulling the straps, they pull down on my baby's shoulders too much rather than just pulling the straps as a whole, it's weird. I just know that my child's other car seat made by Graco doesn't do that. Otherwise, my baby seats comfortably in the seatDefinitely happyAs a former mystery shopper, Baby Jogger has gotten many appraisal reviews for outstanding quality of merchandise! I searched needle in a haystack to allocate my first childs’ Baby Jogger Vue stroller in which he has used all his newborn to infant to toddler years as I just recently added two more twin children as a new mom of multiples.The weight distribution is light, remove and install of base and infant car seat is ambiguous to maneuver or use and the price (could be lowered) matches the overall outstanding quality of this safety standard approved infant car seat.It has the liquid leveler (similar to architectural tool rulers) and the color scheme palette (I invested on dark grey/grey chuarrusco) is easy to clean and maintain (although pastel blue or pink options would be ‘cute’ Decor.Thank you for expediting the shipping will consider to buy more Baby Jogger products in the near future!Light weight EZ to handle
