I bought the car seat as part of a travel system with the linear freeway. The car seat hardly fits in the cars, we have a vectra and a nissan tino. The seat belt hardly goes around and i have to manhandle the car seat to get the belt round, then arrange back in the horizontal postion, which makes me concerned about safety. The hood impedes getting the belt into the hook and sometimes I have to remove the hood to get it to fit. It can sometimes take me ten minutes to be happy with position,... (read more)

I bought a silvercross Linear Freeway from Mothercare and matching ventura car seat. I was not made aware of the fact there was a chance the car seat would not strap into my car correctly. After all of my order had arrived everything looked lovely and I was very pleased. However, when my husband tried out the car seat in my car which is a peugeot 308 he could not get it secured correctly and was not happy about it. In the end we decided to take it back to mothercare as it had not been... (read more)

Good sturdy car seat, our son has always looked very comfortable in it too, however it can be fiddly to secure as our car is very small, and we don't have much room to play with. After a few go's I did get the hang of it, but it does take time and after a trip to the shops can be a real pain to get it all secure again.
The other downside is that it simply isn't going to last as long as I was told it would. My son is just over 4 months and is always on the longest shoulder strap setting. ...

From a dad's point of view, who's job it is to get this thing in and out of the car, it's a terrible design. It's far to fiddly to secure and takes far too long. I'm off to buy an IsoFIX. I personally don't have twenty minutes to spare every time I want to put the car seat in and out and I have a bloody big car with loads of room and it's still a pain. (read more)

Best infant car seat we could find, tried a few but this outranked the others, had a lot of trouble finding one which would fit the cars, originally ordered Mamas & Papas Primo Viaggio after being assured by Mamas & Papas that it would definitely fit our car, when it arrived, it didn't. Wouldn't want a base personally as easy to fit. Great car seat, using again with baby number 2! (read more)

Great looking car seat but my baby is only 15 weeks and the straps are really tight on his shoulders! I was told it would last until around 9 months but this isnt the case. be wary of this incase it happens to you! (read more)

Good strong car seat and easy to install in the car. Agree a base would be better but only use for 9 months so not a huge problem. I bought with the travel system and it was a great 'pushchair' when my daughter was wanting to see out of the pram, yet was too small for the pushchair it converted into. My only complaint there is that the apron for the car seat can be kicked off too easily! (read more)

Silver Cross Ventura Infant Car Seat is fantastic. looks lovely. You can tell its silver cross from the quality of the product. Just like to agree with the views above a bracket for the car would make it so much easier. This is very big and only just manages to fit the seat belt around the seat. As i don't put baby in the front (read more)

My baby girl sleeps comfortably in this Silver Cross Ventura Infant Car Seat, well padded, my baby was very, very small and it held her well.fits beautifully onto chassis and is very easy to carry. I found it difficult to fit in car, make sure try out in car before you buy, no base to go with it, maybe something silver cross should think about doing would make life alot easier. Overall my best purchase. (read more)

I feel the Silver Cross Ventura Infant Car Seat is very heavy and big compared to other models, fiddly belts. Baby's head never really seemed secure but this may be because my baby grew out of it very quickly by the age of 5 1/2 months.
Bought with the pram travel system, which unfortunately we've had problems with too. Bought at a discounted price as bought with pram. Did the job but in hindsight wasn't the best choice.

I have been very happy with this seat. It may not have the gimick features of other popular brands, but my primary concern was safety & sturdiness & it definitely rates highly on both of these. (read more)
