How quickly does the seat attach? I'm looking for a portable seat to take out and about with us, as our 18 mo old now signs when he has to go!

It is supper easy to attach but it is rather big for travel. Also mine broke the 1st week

Hi Andie, Lucy here from Pourty. The prongs which attach to the underside of the seat take about 20 seconds to put on and adjust to the correct size. With practice you'll get even quicker! The prongs can be left on the adjustable rails and quickly moved to re-size the Flexi-fit when you're out and about. Hope that helps. Best wishes.

The seat slip on and off in seconds. It fits standard toilets but I question whether it would fit a public seat. The seat has adjustable parts that hang down from the bottom a few inches making it bulky but great for transitioning from a little potty. I used a folding seat that could be slipped into my purse for my daughter. I also trained my little guy to stand on the seat with my assistance when we were out.

Hi Andie. I actually purchased the seat for a my youngest grandchild, that lives in another state. So I wouldn't actually know how portable it is.

It just snaps right on depending on what width you have the two stabilizing prongs set on. It's easy.

Hi Kim, yes the seat comes in a small box and is light weight.. I have a 5 months old baby and a 7 year old boy and let me tell u my 7 years old son loveeeessss it. You can put it in and take it off anytime very easy a snap and you are ready to go.. The trips to the mall are now a pleasure I do not hesitate taking both kids with me when I go shopping..well I don't have more of a choice anyway..lol..I hope this answers your question

It's a fairly high quality seat. How long are we talking? I get uncomfortable on real long rides in my leather seats... Your kid will be fine!

I started using it with my 10 month-old. She could easily sit on it unassisted. Of course I stayed right by her just in case. My friends with 2 and 3 year olds use it too. Wide age range :)

What the others said. My dd is 13 lbs at 6 months and still fits in it fine, but I have to use it with a lot more supervision now that she can sit up on her own. LOVE this thing. It makes life SO much easier.

Our little one was born 6 lbs 18 inches and we have used this car seat from the day we left the hospital. She is now 6 months and we still use this car seat and have even used this car seat to help calm her down when nothing else would work and I am not just talking about the 2:00 a.m. car rides, we just strap her in and carry it around....she just feels comfortable in the car seat I guess....but as I have quickly learned some things will work for you and your little one and others might not...so if you think it has to acute of an angle, don't buy it b/c if your little one is upset in the car seat all your going to think about is "its that stinking acute angle and that darn car seat making him/her uncomfortable", even though it might not be.

I have only had it for a short time and don't use it everyday. I usually use it on the weekends once in a while. My grandson is 5 yrs. old and doesn't eat while in it. Haven't had to clean it yet, but from what I read in the manual that comes with it, it seems to be fairly easy to do that. My daughter-in-law recommended this one to me as she runs a daycare and has 2 of these car seats for each of their vehicles. I definitely wouldn't be afraid to purchase this item. I am very happy with it.

I loved the seat, but only had it for one, and didn't use it for her as a newborn. It's certainly one of the smallest footprint seats I've seen. It would not allow you to pop the seat in and out of the car with the baby in it, which one big advantage of the other sort of seat.

If you're child needs it, they will let you put it in the seat, otherwise all seats/strollers are checked for free..I would though gate check it so it doesn't get all banged around. I guess that's the only option I know of

We used seat on a trip to Florida. It worked well for the trip, is very lightweight and easily portable. I'm not sure I'd like to use it on a daily basis. It scooted around a bit on the chair it was attached to. It's great for travel, not sure about daily use.

I want to ensure the "BOTTOM SUPPORT" of this seat is going to be comfortable for EVERYDAY USE, along w the "BACK Support". My child just turned 2 years old 4 days ago. He is custom & VERY use to His "Chairries/by JonTi-CrafT" but enough eating in living room!! Does anyone feel this Transition of not only The Cairrries but his own personal"Security, Stability, Safty" WILL BE MET BY THIS PRODUCT?

I've transferred this seat many times this summer between my home bike and one at my in-laws, I would say three minutes is a more likely time. Obviously it gets a bit quicker after you've done it a few times. One minute is probably a stretch though.

I find it kind of cumbersome to use when switching from car to car. I can imagine having to carry through an airport. Love the seat, but it took a little bit for me to get it down to a science. If you have an infant u may want to use a cradle car seat instead.

I got one for my daughter's new baby and has worked out great. You need to call the company and they will send you and insert for the seat that will make if a lot better for the new born and there was no charge. I choose this one because of it's strong safety rating. I is a little larger that some but solid as a rock.

I can't imagine how you could take the feet off the seat and still be able to use it. I love that I can take the seat and detach it from the swing. My son is 9 months old and I still use the seat when I need to set him somewhere and have him stay. It is a bit bulky, but most seats are.

Eric - I have a 2 year old daughter that weighs under 25 lbs. she has been in the seat for a while. It has a pad that hold the little ones in. It is a great seat to have for a long time.

It worked fine for us and we travel a lot. we've used it with our son between the ages of 1.5 and 3 and it was great! A little cumbersome with detaching and reattaching but worth it. Good luck!
