How heavy is the empty car seat alone? One review said it's too heavy? Also is there sufficient cushioning in right places?

I really dont think its heavy, its very sturdy which is what we want for safety. Its very comfortable inside, and it comes with head and shoulder rest. I bring it around quite easily. Great buy. Really love it

Item was a gift but was returned because of national recall. Never even unpacked.

This is my third infant car seat. I haven't used it with the baby yet, but moving it around, attached to the base, it seems somewhat light. All car seats seem heavy after carrying them around for awhile, but I wouldn't say this one was any heavier than the others.

Yes it is on the heavy side and a little on the big side (you wont be able to put it on the front of a shopping cart but that's unsafe anyway, it will fit in the cart). As far as cushioning I think it has enough to protect baby and I always recommend those neck pillows to keep the babys head in place (my preference)...overall I love it, my son seems comfortable.

Without the base it can be conveniently carried around (not for long though),so i will not consider it heavy just not convenient to carry only the car seat around,and yes there is sufficient cushioning in right places.

Seat alone without the base is about 35 lbs. It's ment to be a leave in car seat

I wouldn't recommend it without a cushion. It is hard plastic. You could but it wouldn't be comfortable for an extended period of time.

I recommend you purchase ObusFormes seat cushion. I use the back and seat cushions together in my LazyBoy. I don't know if weight makes a difference , but perhaps the manufacturer could help answer that question. I find using both at the same time is the only way I can sit comfortably in my chair.

I have the large seat for my two small dogs. 11lbs and 5 lbs. They are comfortable. Also I don't think it's too big when just one dog is b using it. I guess it would depend on how much space is in your car. In my SUV its fine but in my sedan it can be tight. I do like this seat. I feel safe because it is so secure and my dog isn't ring to jump in my lap while I'm driving. Plus they love looking out the windows!

Agreed with previous comment that the seat needs to be at the most reclined position for such a young baby. I myself did not use it when my daughter was that young. She was/is small for her age and felt her infant car seat gave her a much "cozier" feeling. We just bought an adaptor to use with the UppaBaby frame.

I have it in the car right now, but used it yesterday at LPGA Tournament. I'd say maybe about 2 feet off the ground when open. The seat isn't very big, and pretty much just cradles your butt. Sort of like sitting in a saddle. I find it comfortable, but I'm thin. My husband finds it funny, but OK.

I think it's pretty accurate. I think the neck pillow looks very good. But when it was placed over the headrest, I felt it was too stiff for me (there was almost no cushion at all). To compensate that you would need to slide down your back rest further behind.

The seat is very comfortable, and I haven't needed an additional cushion. Hope that helps! :)

There is hardly any padding on the seat or backrest. When our baby was little we added a padded head rest/support (like you would use in a carseat). As she got older and have used it without extra padding she has never complained about being uncomfortable...

I weigh 275.The cushion sinks about 4 inches.It is still the best compared to throw cushions.I couldn't sit very long on a hard chair without it.It does elevate and helps getting out of a chair.It was too thick for the car.

No , it's heavy but I happen to love this car seat . I didn't not purchase the car seat from Amazon , I bought another seat cover which is great if you're interested to know .

Yes I feel it's very padded and comfy for my kiddos. We have a britax as well and they're comparable.

It is fine to me. It has that extra pad you can see on the picture for sitting and a pillow that can be attached (above the stripes). It is not super-soft, but it's good enough for my 1 year old. I am overall satisfied. Hope this helps!

Hi I am happy with the seat. I use it for 9 hours every day. In my opinion The cushion is high density. Seat is very comfortable.

Honestly, I'm not sure how heavy the seat is but it IS HEAVY! Heavier than most car seats on the market. With all that said, it's a great seat.

I brought my pillow up to the computer to try it out. It definitely supports my back, though it feels different than in the car because of the way it hugs your body and the shape of the car seat is different than computer chair.I think it is worth a try.
