Does the seat sit up high? I am wondering if my daughter will be able to see out the window well. I am debating between this and the Clek.

Hi Alison, This seat does sit up high! I bought this for my 7 month old grandson so he still sitting facing back. I believe in order for them to be able to see out the side windows they would have to lean forward somewhat. I got this one because #1 safety, it is very safe! #2 I had bought him the whole orbit system already. This does slip into the stroller part of it however, I find that not being able to lean it back so when the child is sleeping he/she could be more comfy in the actual stroller end of it is a flaw. As far as the height in the actual car, I found it to be a wee bit too tall and bulky. But again my main concern was the safety factor. It has great padding surrounding the head and it is a very sturdy car seat. I hope this helps! Good luck, it gets very confusing.

It doesn't raise too high...I don't have a tape measure handy but the seat is about 2 feet off the ground at its highest.

It does fold up pretty much all the way to the window. It folds up in sections and the last section is only about 2 feet from the back window. It works great with me hauling plywood and sheet rock no problems at all. I love it !!

My dog is actually a 6 pound dog and it is perfect for her to see out of the window and sshe love it. The seat is 11 inches tall and then inside where the cushion seat is, it is 5 inches deep and the cushion or resting pillow is two inches high. I put a harness on her and then the seat has a trap where you secure the dog with the harness so that way she can't jump of the window when she sees a dog or flies all over the place in case of the brakes.

Not really. AS part of the folding/pop up mechanism, the canopy itself first opens, then the legs go up. But it is not usable (high enough) with the legs not up fully.

Yes, it will sit straight up. It's very comfortable. If you are using it on bleachers, it will take a bit of room, so beware of that. I am ok with this, because I like my personal space. I love mine.

Peggy, it does not fit with seats up; you have to take it out or perhaps you can stand it up behind the 3rd row seats and lift gate. Fits perfectly when in use...

It depends on the vehicle you drive and where you put the car seat. I have mine in the middle so my son can see out of front window, he can sort of see out side windows but that's because I drive an SUV. Once we put his seat in the truck ford F 150 and he could see great out if the window because the window is pretty low. Hope it helps

When you open the window, the bed rises. Mine rises to a point that my cat cannot reach. Yours may be different. By the way, I've tried other window seats, this is by far the best ever.

Yes.. just note that it will not go all the way to the back of your seat. I like it, but don't like that it does not touch the back seat because someone can look in the window and see most of your stuff.

I think it would be a great chair for short trips in and out of the car as it is very light, but the arms are short and give little to no side support and it does not tilt back at all. It's great for a small house/small doorways as it is not very wide. Overall my mother finds it uncomfortable, but tolerates it when we go on short trips, but she is much bigger than your daughter.

Hello!the seat is very comfortable for our child, it does pop out, but that is the way it is designed, we hadn't had any accidental pops at all, we love it. Hope this is helpful.

The seat does flip up and provides alot of room. This stand the foot grid goes right back to the tree unlike other tree stands. Lots of room!!!

I'm not sure of the exact height, but my 12 pound shih tzu can see out of the window. The insert does come with it. I really like this seat and would buy it again.

yeah the seat is big and tall, occupies nearly half of the back seat of car, and doesn't left much space to the top of the car . What you have concerned is very reasonable, I can hardly imagin that a maybe 5 yr old child sit in it. You can choose some simple design and slimer car seat, but it might not as comfortable as this one.

Yes it does. My husband loves it. It sits a bit too high for me but I'm 5' and he's 6'.I could lower it but that's more trouble than leaving it as is.We'd recommend this to you.

When rear facing, in our Maxima, our daughter was on the side and could see out. In our MDX, she was in the center and could see into the back but not outside very well. Now that she's forward facing, she can see out of te windows in both cars (in te center) and is much happier!
