Bottom line:
The Infasecure Kompressor 4 ISOFIX is the latest iteration of the 0-4 convertible car seat line. This time it has been designed with extended rearward facing to 30 mo in mind. Its base is narrow enough to fit 3-wide in a lot of cars though in rearward facing it is quite deep, similar to other extended rearward facing seats.
The Kompressor 4 ISOFIX does lack additional features of premium seats such as safety and premium fabrics, but its saving grace is that it has often been seen on significant discount, at which point it becomes good value.
Who this is for:
Parents looking for a basic ISOFIX 0-4 extended rearward facing seat when it is on special, otherwise look elsewhere.
