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.
