I chose this product because the brand has a good reputation in baby care. The seat is indeed well finished, the cup holders are a plus even though they are mainly used to my daughter to drop toys rather than a cup. So they do not interfere retract if you do not use it. Note ingenious strap system to properly position the car seat belt on the child's shoulder. I have not yet made great trips but I put a damper on the thickness of the padding, there are some moss and this could be uncomfortable in the long run. Nevertheless I recommend this product.
