Recliner not functioning
The seat can not recline per advertised which makes it very difficulty for my 5 month old sleep during a ride due to the lack of comfort and proper support for my baby
Keeps little one cool
We bought this a few months ago because our 2 year old was having heat issues in a normal car seat in the southern US. The Pria Chill was an instant night and day difference in comfort for our daughter and she went on and on about how “this seat keeps me cool”. She complains when she’s in another car seat now. The only complaint I have this that you can’t turn the fan on manually, it only runs when the sensor thinks it should. Our little one runs hot and has asked several times for us to turn the fan on because she’s warm but the car seat hasn’t decided it’s warm enough to run the fan yet and we have to explain to her that we can’t control the fan. The on/off switch in the power cable is only to turn the system on or off, not the fans themselves.

A must have
I brought this for my 7 month old who is a “hot “ baby. He is always sweating. This is worth every penny! It has fans and keeps him cool!

Wonderful car seat
Absolutely love this seat! The fans work really well and keep my baby cool and content in his seat unlike any other seat I have owned. The fabric is very breathable while still being soft and the seat is very lightweight, making it easy to travel with and transfer between cars. Highly recommend!

Great Quality - Bulky Seat
I want to love this car seat so bad but it is just so big!! Upon opening the box, there is no instruction manual on how to install, features of the car seat, etc. I had to go on the web to figure out how to install the seat. It seemed pretty simple, but I struggled with getting it tight enough to not wiggle around. I had to scoot my passenger seat all the way up and also lift the back of the seat in order to get it to fit and be level. For reference, I have a Chevy Tahoe. The fan system is really cool and unlike anything I've ever seen. I'm very hopeful that it will keep my little guy cool in the hot Texas summers. Fingers crossed! The material and fabric seems very comfy and high quality. The inserts that were included were also great quality, but we didn't need to use them. I especially love the magnetic chest closure because it makes getting my son in and out an absolute breeze! The cup holders are great for snacks and drinks and he can easily reach them on his own. I'm excited to continue to use it, but may have to switch out if we use my car for long rides as the passenger seat will be too squished. I received this product for free as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I would definitely buy this!
This car seat is a must have for any new parent out there! It grows with your little one, making it an all-in-one for all your family needs and it keeps them dry and comfy as they grow too! The cooling system is a must have for anyone who likes to travel with their little ones, but also if you happen to live somewhere super hot like I do! No more sweaty kiddos! The only things I would change are probably a bigger cup holder, the one it comes with is not wide enough, so only skinny bottles can be used. The Velcro neck pads also come off easily, so maybe sown them so you don't have to keep looking for them all over the car. All in all, a great car seat to have and enjoy until your little one is little no more!

Cool, comfy, and convenient!
Our toddler has constantly been complaining that she's too hot or cold. No more! I haven't heard a peep from her since we got this car seat. When I discovered the fans were only automatic, I thought there would still be complaints, but none so far. I love this seat. It's plush, comfy, and easy to get in and out of. The fabric is machine washable, and our little continues to say that this is the comfiest seat she's ever felt. The magnetic buckle is also amazing - quick and out of the way when getting in and out. The cup holders also come out and are dishwasher-safe. It's quick to install/uninstall using the LATCH system, though if you're moving seats around, you have to unthread the fan cord, too. I was worried the cord wouldn't be long enough because we need to plug it in in the front, but it was plenty long. The cord is under the floor mats, and it's easy to disconnect in the front. This has been helpful since the switch on the seat is hard to reach in forward-facing mode. The indicator light at the top of the seat is super helpful; it's easy to see from the rearview mirror yet not bothersome for tired kids in the back (though maybe red would have been a better choice than blue for night). It's been a good indicator for me to turn down the air when it comes on. We are using this seat in forward-facing mode, though I have to say, I think this is the first convertible car seat I would consider using for an infant. The inserts provided, coupled with the magnetic buckle that stays out of the way when putting a baby in, really make this an ideal choice if you are using a convertible seat with a baby. The only major downside is that we can only use this car seat for one child due to the 12V connector. I would also still like the option to manually turn on the fans even though I haven't needed to yet. I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, though if a future version has a rechargeable battery option, I will be purchasing more!

"Coolest" Seat in the Car
I was given this all in one car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We currently use the seat as a forward facing seat with my 4.5 year old daughter. The seat feels and looks sturdy. The material is beautiful. The fabric is soft, but breathable, and very comfortable for my daughter, who can be a tough critic when it comes to "itchy" material. We know from experience, this brand has easy to clean carseat material! Removable dishwasher safe cup holders are great! The harness holders are also very helpful. We have not had to use the additional inserts/padding meant for a smaller child, but you can tell they are comfortable and easy to take on and off. The installation process was easy enough with great picture instructions and easy to follow steps. My only challenge was putting the seatbelt through the openings. It's a small opening and the plastic can feel sharp as you are trying to pass the belt through. When we first installed the seat it seemed too loose. We reinstalled and got it to feel more secure. It does say that the seat can move up to 1 inch. The headrest was easy to adjust and raise. The magnetic chest clip seems high quality and very secure. My daughter said she was comfortable and she looked it! She can often complain about feeling uncomfortable or too hot in her seat (even in the winter), and we haven't heard a peep yet. The power cord for the cooling feature was easy to use— it plugs into the back of the seat and we have it routed to the front center console. It's long enough that you could easily lay it flat and easily step over it. The on/off switch is easy to use and the indicator light by the headrest helps you know that it is on. Overall: We love the look of this seat! know it's a high quality safe seat for our family. We were able to install it with little frustration. We are eager to use the cooling feature more often in the summer. We also love that this seat can be used for years to come!
