Bottom line:
The Safe-n-Sound Cabrini II is a basic, value-oriented Big W exclusive convertible car seat. Designed for compact cars, it is narrow enough to fit 3-across in the rear and give legroom to the front passenger seat. Extended rearward facing allows rearward facing to 2-3 years, but the upper marker is very low at 411mm and your child may outgrow the seat well before 4 years old. At this price point, this is a competitively priced seat but there are a lot of other options.
Who this is for:
Parents looking for a basic convertible car seat for a smaller car, but beware the low upper marker.
