Bottom line:
The Infasecure Vari is a budget 0-4 convertible car seat that is exclusive to Big W. Infasecure features Air Cocoon Technology across its whole range, and the Vari is no exception. You get what you pay for though, that is not much: no additional safety features, no special fabric, nor much padding. Having said that, it does rate very highly as a forward facing seat. Good as a second or occasionally used seat.
Who this is for:
Parents looking for an affordable second seat.
