Bottom line:
The Infasecure Emperor is a member of Infasecure’s birth-8 convertible car seat family, based on the Achieve / Grandeur shell. This means you can feasibly use this as your only car seat you’ll ever need. It also supports extended rearward facing to 30 mo for a safer position, but in this format it is quite deep as you would expect a tall seat like this to be. It is narrow enough to fit 3-wide in a lot of cars though which is helpful.
If you want to only buy one car seat for your child all the way up to 8 years old, this is it.
Who this is for:
Parents looking for a single seat that works for their child all the way up to 8 years old.
