Even though the 3QXT is not a lightweight car seat, with a weight of up to 32 pounds (this should be the heaviest of all purple car seats), we think it should rank top 3 in our portable car seats for travel. It features a folding design. It comes with an anti-rebound bar, which delivers more protection no matter rear-facing or forward-facing. The booster mode on the Chicco MyFit is not the longest lasting, capping out at 57″ or 100lbs. Plenty of kids won’t quite pass the 5-step test at that time to use an adult seatbelt, so they may need an extra little boost from something like this. The Evenflo ADVANCED LiteMax 35 is one of the lightest infant car seats around but the appeal goes far beyond its weight. The entire LiteMax family offers a great fit for even the tiniest babies thanks to its unique 3 pound minimum and tons of harness adjustment options. The 32″/35 pound limit on the upper end means pretty much every baby can use this car seat for at least one year, if not longer. Made of high-quality memory foam, it gives firm support yet still remains soft for prolonged sitting. It’s also slightly angled, which boosts circulation and won’t leave shoppers with pins and needles in their legs and feet. One person noticed an enormous difference, stating that they can now “go on long drives over 5 hours without any pain” when formerly, they could barely handle sitting in a “passenger car seat for an hour without pain.”

For newborn baby girls, it has a few additions like the Safe+ newborn protection insert, Safe+ newborn harness pads, and Safe+ 2-in-1 infant positioning liner, which are helpful to keep your girl safe and stable in the car seat. These essentials are removable as your little girl grows. There have been a number of updates to the Renault Zoe since its launch in 2013, with a significant improvement in range over that time. If you are considering a Zoe and would like to know more, we recommend reading our battery guideand making sure you know which battery capacity and range figures apply to any used models you're considering buying. Regardless of age, all Zoe models are fantastically easy to drive - as with all modern electric cars, the Zoe has an automatic gearbox, along with light and easy controls. The ‘Boheme Purple’ may be an unconventional colour choice, but the Seat Leon it is available on, is very conventional in what it offers drivers - and all the better for it. There is a spacious cabin with seating for five, an easy-to-understand selection of controls and a relatively large boot - especially in the case of the ST estate, which is impressively practical for a car of this size. The Graco Snugride 35 Lite LX is very similar to the Baby Trend Secure Snap. It’s not a 100% complete purple infant car seat but just comes with a purple-similar color – Hailey for the included infant insert. There are some wonderful purple car seats for infants available now – you can find everything from budget-friendly models to advanced safety features without sacrificing your personal style. Chicco KeyFit 30 & Chicco KeyFit 35One downside for some families (though not ours) is that the rear-facing weight limit is 40 pounds. That’s fine for most kids, as it’s the average weight of a 4 year old. However, if you have a baby that’s tipping the scales toward higher percentiles or you want the option to rear face your child beyond 4, you’ll want to keep reading for a few other options with a 50 pound rear-facing limit (like the Clek Foonf and Fllo or Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1). If you read the Evenflo ADVANCED Litemax description above, pretty much all of that applies to the even fancier Evenflo Gold SecureMax. What are the differences? The Gold SecureMax adds even more premium features!

Reclining Headrests – The CYBEX patented reclining headrest prevents the child's head from falling forward while asleep and guarantees optimal protection in the case of a side-impact. While comfort is a somewhat subjective standard, we wouldn’t recommend any cushions we found to be lumpy or scratchy. Some riders may prefer a firmer cushion, while other passengers go for something softer. In any case, an excellent car seat cushion can only protect your spine from stress if it absorbs the bumps and pressures of the road. A car seat cushion is safe as long as it is secured and doesn’t slide around. Make sure your cushion doesn’t raise your height in the car so much that it obscures your view of the road. Can you add cushion to a car seat? Topping the memory foam on this seat cushion is a layer of cooling gel. This is perfect for drivers who sit for long hours and don’t want to deal with the discomfort of a sweaty seat. On the firmness scale, this sits at a medium level of support. It’s not too firm but won’t sag and deflate when sat on. It’s another option that’s useful for providing lift and height in a car for shorter drivers. When shopping around for the right cushion, questions may arise about how cushions work, and even if they’re technically allowed to be used while operating a vehicle. Find more details, below. Are car seat cushions safe?Some users found this cushion too firm, so it may not be the best choice if you prefer a plush seat cushion. The Oobr is one of the narrowest booster seats available, so it’ll give you a good chance of fitting 3-across. With 9 years until expiration, it’s a great option for families with a younger sibling to pass it down to. The beautiful purple aura fabric is one of Clek’s C-Zero Performance Plus options, will stay looking new with just a simple wipe down. Clek has developed a great reputation over the last few years for their innovative, safety-focused car seats and boosters and the Clek Oobr booster seat is no exception. Kids and parents love it, and the rich purple Aura cover is stunning!

Many reviewers like the shape of the Comfy Cush, which fits nicely in a car seat. Several people use this cushion as a booster seat in their vehicle, so this is a good option for short drivers. It’s also extremely comfortable if you’re a road tripping family. In harness mode, it offers four different recline options. There’s tons of padding all around, so it’s great for kids who like a squishy ride. To improve ease-of-use, the SecureMax offers a no-rethread harness to adjust the height of the shoulder straps – remember that they should always be at or below the shoulders for a rear-facing child. The shell is nice and tall, so it’ll fit most kids well past their first birthdays. Note that the LiteMax above is approved for babies as small as 3lbs but the SecureMax is not currently included in Evenflo’s update list. Babies are rarely released from the hospital under 4 pounds, but if you suspect that yours may be that tiny then the ADVANCED LiteMax may be a better choice. One of the biggest problems with fast cars is that they can be expensive to run, which puts off many potential buyers. The VW Scirocco gets around this, however, by combining stylish and sporty looks with the running costs of a typical Volkswagen Golf, thanks to it being available with relatively frugal petrol and diesel engines. In addition, the KeyFit 35 adds a handy no-rethread harness and an anti-rebound bar on the base to improve crash performance. If you plan to travel with the KeyFit 35 and leave the base at home, you’ll be able to use the more stable “European seatbelt routing” when you install the KeyFit 35 in a taxi or Uber.The baby or child's height is used to determine if the seat fits the child, rather than their weight. When it comes to using seat cushions for children, look at the laws and only use expert-approved products. Never adjust or customize children’s car seats as they are already made to industry safety standards. Are car seat cushions worth the money?

Note that the minimum height for this folding booster car seat is 43″– many kids won’t reach that until almost 6 years old. Our son didn’t get there until almost 7 years old, so parents of shorter kids may need to look elsewhere. But the Graco Turbo GO is a wonderful choice for globetrotters who need more hip room and prefer a stable seating area. An important year in the life of the C4 Cactus is 2018, as Citroen gave its funky crossover an update, though older models look more dramatic, with large rubber patches on their flanks to prevent parking dings. Pre-2018 cars are still a great option if your budget can’t stretch to a newer version - especially in well-equipped Flair trim with a 110hp petrol engine, as this version offers plenty of feel-good factor and the engine is punchy enough to work well around town and on faster roads.The BulbHead Egg Sitter is similar to the Purple cushion in design. The pattern is slightly different (a honeycomb rather than a grid), and some may even prefer this pattern. The Egg Sitter has a washable cover and fits easily into a car seat, and the material is thinner than the Purple. In short, yes. As long as it doesn’t obstruct the driver’s view, get in the way of reaching pedals, or prevent safe operation. Many come with adjustable straps and a non-slip rubber bottom, which prevents sliding or movement. You can add cushion to a car seat by purchasing and installing a car seat cushion. A car seat cover is another way to increase car seat padding. You could also reupholster your car seat and add cushion material, but this is more expensive. How much does it cost to add foam to a car seat? The Evenflo Maestro Sport is a lightweight car seat. Weighing only 9.6 pounds – that’s slightly heavier than an infant car seat, this purple car seat is easy to carry and good for travel, no matter for road trips or aircraft use.
