I bought at the base for my baby to be firmly secured in her car in the car. It had a tendency to slip because of the inclination of the seats. After that baby was ensconced. I then used to put my baby in the stroller. I had to forget the car because of his reflux and I can not find it comfortable cozy for a walk. Great also. For cons, I had to use it in the summer and it holds very very hot ... I found him sweating every time.
