My wife and I decided to get a Maxi Cosi Opal for our soon-to-be-born daughter



One of the coolest car seats we've seen with the following advantages that I know of;

1. It can be back facing for newborns
2. It can be rotated 180 degrees for 1 year and above
3. Seat can be expanded for use as the child grows (Otherwise it'd be a smug fit)
4. The straps around the model are very secure
5. Long term use!
