I got this one earlier this year prior to a road trip from Vegas to Ft. Worth. We took a few practise runs around town and they did great on the trip. They would squirm a little when we first got started but they settled down quickly and slept most of the trip. The seat works back seat or front. My front seat airbags can't be turned off but have a sensor with a minimum weight before they'll activate and the kids weren't heavy enough at 5.5 & 9 pounds to turn it on. They both had enough room to lay down or sit up and watch out the window.
