I got both and didn't like the console seat.
1. It's tough to strap onto the console. I never did figure out how to put it on correctly.
2. There is nothing on the back to protect your baby from falling over the back into the back seat area.
Jen fell out of it. I had her strapped into the seat with her harness. She was dangling from the console but the short strap kept her from reaching the floor. I had to pull over on the highway to get her back up. Soon as I got home - out it came!
The larger seat get them high enough to look out the window, is secured with the seatbelt in the car and is a breeze to set-up or take out. Plus I can get all 3 of my girls in one seat (I use a 3-way coupling leash on the safety strap).
I have 2 of the larger seats. One for my car, one for hubby's car. I love it! |
