Pros and cons

+ Secur-air head side impact protection
+ Air Cocoon Technology side impact protection
+ Extended rearward facing
Cons
– Heavy
– Expensive
Bottom line:
The Infasecure Grandeur Element is one of Infasecure’s more expensive 0-8 convertible car seats. It does have extended rearward facing capability. The Element comes with ‘Active Fabric covers’ which are designed to be hard wearing, cool and breathable. It does have Secur-air and Air Cocoon technology side impact protection but the seat does not rate well on the CREP safety ratings. The seat is particularly narrow which may suit smaller cars, but only get if on sale as better value can be found elsewhere.
Who this is for:
Parents looking for a narrow 0-8 convertible car seat with some safety features and can find this on discount.
