Pros and cons

Pros

+ Narrow design to work 3 across in rear
+ Extended rearward facing
+ ISOFIX

Cons

– No recline
– No additional features
– Basic fabric

Bottom line:

The Safe-n-Sound Safe-Fix focuses on providing an ISOFIX anchor to your car over all else. Designed for 3-across in the rear, it also allows extended rearward facing up to 2-3 years. Good for smaller and narrower cars when you need to carry 3. But it does compromise with a lack of other features.

Who this is for:

Parents looking for a basic ISOFIX convertible car seat for a smaller car.
