Romi Car Seat
Product details
Web ID: 14595113Not for a new born
I really wanted to like this car seat, but it has been nothing short of a nightmare. From day one, my child was sliding left and right no matter how I adjusted the straps or padding. It felt like I was constantly re-positioning them during every ride. The seat offers little to no side support, and I genuinely don’t understand how this made it through safety testing for newborns. The engineering is poor — it feels flimsy, awkward to install, and just not well thought out in terms of keeping a baby safe and secure. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this seat to anyone with a newborn or young infant. Maybe it might work better for a baby five months or older who can sit up with more control, but for a smaller or younger baby, it’s just not safe or stable enough in my opinion. If you’re looking for peace of mind during car rides, this is not the seat for you. I regret this purchase and would not recommend it to other parents.

The weight is right but the rest isn't.
I purchased the Romi for a up coming 6 hour flight to Seattle my troller in and for the car rental. Found a good number of reviews that recommended as super light weight and great for traveling. My honest opinion after a solid week of use is I wouldn't use this car seat. Yes, it is very light weight, but the positioning of the opening for the car seat belt is terrible. When in the rear facing position when strapping in my kid, it would dip down. And this was after repositioning the car seat belt a number of times. No confidence it would be in any type of semi fixed position in a crash. The tightening scrap was constantly getting stuck in both directions. If your taking this for a flight, it will more than likely only for in the forward direction, as rear facing the seat is right up against the seat in front. Also, the aircraft seat belt buckle will sit under your childs lower back when tight, not a good feeling. Honestly, I can't recommended the Romi. Yes, it is cheap and light weight, but that's the only good things.

The straps for the car seat is horrible for my son
I would not purchase if I haven't realized that the straps are too tight! You cannot make them stretch longer. Great price for a maxi cosi! But not worth the money! My son legs are so squeezed tight within the buckle that it makes him so uncomfortable to be in! Please do not purchase! Not great for any child.

We love our Romi Car Seat!
We just transferred our 11 month old to this car seat and she is loving it! (So are we!) It's so roomy and comfortable for her. We love how lightweight it is and how we can easily take it out when we need to clean our minivan or transfer the seat to our second vehicle.

Super convenient car seat!
I love how lightweight this car seat is, making it super easy for traveling. If you need to take a flight this is the most convenient car seat for air travel. The strap makes it super easy to carry on your back!
