Infa Secure seats

[~Kim~]

I've got a Neon that I had to get DH to purchase sight unseen in NSW as we don't have them here in the NT.
I wish I'd gotten the Kompressor to compare and then returned it later.
The Neon is VERY upright, even in it's fully reclined position.
It is a total PITA to get DD2 into. We have a 4WD and I have to unclip the top tether over one side of her seat every time and tighten it every time. Because the seat is so upright the tether is so high I can't lift her over it without clonking her head.
On the upside it's comfy, easy to clean and DH can put his seat fully back and doesn't tough her seat. I had to take the bottom padding out to be able to fit her into it though. She was over the height markers with it in. She's about 85cm tall. A smaller babe should have no trouble.

The Kompressor is exactly the same as the Neon Kim, except it has a narrower base for easier installation if needing 3 acoss and the Kompressor has the extra padding.
I have a Kompressor and I hate the top tether too! Not only do you have to loosen it but when you tighten it one side seems looser than the other which wouldn't be so bad in a sedan, but I have a wagon which makes it harder to fix.
It is very upright in a lot of cars, mine included, which will be good for the older bubs and toddlers You can use a rolled up towel under the seat to adjust the recline for a really young baby too.
I do love the seat though apart from the top tether issue and the padding is really nice for newborns and little babies but I find it a PITA getting them in. Once they are in it's great so far comfy and sturdy

I don't have the tether or upright issue with my Caprice

Totally agree Willow.

Rosetti I think for me it's because in my car the tether is at my head height, so I either have to lift her over or squeeze her under if I don't undo it. I also think it has to do with the angle of the seats in your car too.

Thanks for your feedback. I've gone for the Neon (or called Ascent at Toys R Us). It should get us through to when DS is 12 months. I got one for DD too as she was growing too big for her S&S and should also last her until 4 or 5. She thinks its fantastic. The rear facing is very upright in my Subaru Outback and I'll need to put the tether down each time I get him in/out, but it seems a good seat for DS anyway. There is no way I'll be able to get him out and keep him asleep LOL.
