Brilliant car seat due to the lie flat option. Having researched car seats and prams etc for ages before buying it was the lie flat option on this seat that clinched the deal for me. Having used it for the last 8 months I would use no other pram/car seat. It has been a total godsend as it allows my baby (who hasn;t always been the best sleeper) to sleep on the go without being disturbed and without me worrying about her spine being damaged. Also becasue baby is lying flat I am happy in the knowledge that she is getting a proper sleep (do you feel better having slept upright on the sofa or lying down on your bed.....?no brainer!). I simpy cannot understand why you would buy a separate car seat and carrycot as you'd have to wake the baby to get it out of the seat to put in the carrycot for any outings longer than one and half hrs (recommended time for baby to be in upright car seat). We have had some briliant days out with this seat and could not have done it had baby been in an upright seat.

When my baby started being nosy (about 3/4mths) this seat really did come into its own. With one hand I can put the seat upright with baby in the seat and she's able to look out and see me. When she gets grunpy I simply lie her flat, snuggle her up and zzzzzzzzzzzzz of she goes to sleep.

The seat is very easy to put into the car and after reading reviews about it being flimsy to attached to seat belt etc and coming loose I can honestly say I have not had this problem. If I had the seat would have been sent straight back to where I bought it from. I have found it safe and secure. My daughter is now 16lbs (nearly 8mths) and still lies flat comfortably in it.

My only fault with this chair is that when in the upright position it can be a bit fiddly to belt into the car. However we also have a maxi cosy (not the one with the isofix) and that too is fiddly. I would say this is a small price to pay when you consider all the other benefits of the seat. On the upside when the seat is upright it is far bigger than a normal stage 1 car seat so will last longer.

Excellent seat!

We bought the Jane matrix cup seat as we really liked the idea of a lie flat seat for a newborn and the sitting upright position when the baby gets older.
This does work very well and my baby sleeps very well in the lie flat position, however my main reason for writing is my concerns over the safety of the seat.
In the lie flay position, the car seat is attached by clips secured by a screw in the seat. The screws in my car seat worked themselves so loose that they fell out, so the seat would n ...

Having researched car seats, the matrix cup came top for my needs.

We were very impressed with the fact that the Matrix allows the baby to be transported in a flat position but seated as the flat position is far superior for a new born and better for longer journeys. We have nothing but praise for the people at Jane who designed this system and with our baby now at 5 months and nearly 18lb he is still secure and comfortable when the Matrix is flat in the car, I find this really reassuring as wh ...

My wife and I had heard of "Jane" (pronounced "Yahnay")being one of the few manufacturers to make "lie flat" car seats which suited our baby for longer journeys to see grandparents and the occasional holiday - better for the baby than being in the seating position according to the experts.

The Jan Matrix Cup seat was not cheap but when it arrived it certainly looked good, all trendy-looking fabrics and solid plastic. However, it is so difficult to use that it has almost had me in tears o ...
