Do not purchase this if you don't have a compatible stroller for this or if you plan to take short walks with this car seat. This is a very nice car seat! I love the canopy as well since it is longer than the usual ones. Quality is good BUT it is hard to find a car seat compatible with this. You would have to have the maxi cosi strollers with their car seat adapter or bugaboo/uppababy with a car seat adapter, or strollers that can be attached directly with an infant car seat. And so I realized I should've just bought the combo ones to avoid hassle. Purchased 2026 and also received one manufactured in 2024 but they say if you have the receipt then the lifespan starts from date of purchase.
