"We have traveled to 3 countries with it, set it up on taxis etc."
"We have the Pico for travel and absolutely love it. ... I have single-handedly installed it in cars using both the latches and a seatbelt (including needing to use a locking clip abroad) and have always found it incredibly easy. ... It usually takes me somewhere between 2-8 minutes to install depending on the car and whether I need to put the locking clip on). ... I also found it easy to install on airplanes."
"It was super easy to travel with and to install."

"This time around it will hopefully be much easier because we won’t be lugging the super heavy, although slim, Radians. ... They are NOT heavy or bulky, and I can carry all 3 without it being too much of a pain!"
"weighs only 8lbs ... easy to haul along with a purse and backpack ... absolute game changer!"

"the crotch buckle placement is really shallow ... he's still good at 4, but not sure if he can use this at 5"
"if your kid is tall I would probably not, since it's not going to last as long as other seats."
"She will outgrow WayB Pico by seated shoulder height first, since the harness height is only 15.5 inches."

"This seat doesn’t rear face and isn’t safe for kids under age 2."
"I agree that it’s probably not a great position to have a kid nap/sleep"
"it is not rear facing, so it would be illegal to use before 2 years old in many states."

"I ordered a WAYB Pico travel car seat full price ($400 USD) at the end of Jan 2025. They sent me a car seat that was manufactured in 2023. ... Of course I don expect a car seat manufactured yesterday; but typically car seats that have been manufactured OVER A YEAR ago are discounted and not full price. ... There s no disclosure about this on their website, and the response is basically oo bad so sad . ... So - for a 7 year life of the car seat, you may get a car seat that already has lost 1/4 or 1/5 of its life expectancy before you even get it. ... I feel very duped, like - I get that Amazon and other discount sellers may have older unused car seats that they sell for a discount - but this was a full price car seat that shouldn be more than a couple months past manufacture date. Unacceptable. ... The fact the company responded to me and is fine with selling these seats from two years ago I just think is deceptive, functionally the seat is fine but for the price I wanted to let other parents know they may have a seat with 1/4 of the life expectancy gone before they get it!"

"Sadly it is really expensive. ... There was no way I could stomach getting it at full price especially knowing that it would ONLY be used for travel? ... The calculation of cost-per-use made my head spin. ... do not wait until you need it, and then get saddled with paying $400 😵💫😵💫."
"Also - despite babying this extremely overpriced car seat we had a tear in the very very delicate mesh fabric on the headrest after 4 short Uber rides (and day checking it in lockers in WDW)."
