Cosco Mighty Fit 65 DX Convertible Car Seat, Heather Onyx

Bought this for a travel car seat and it is nice for the price. Light and compact, but comfortable-looking for my off-the-charts heavy/tall 9 month old. Very easy to adjust everything without tools, as long as you do it ahead of time and not in a rush. For the price, very adequate!

I purchased this car seat for our little one specifically for travel, and it’s been a fantastic choice.Key FeaturesLightweight: This car seat is incredibly lightweight, which makes it perfect for travel. It’s easy to haul around without too much effort.Quick Installation: Installing it front-facing is super quick and simple, which is a big win when hopping in and out of Ubers or rental cars. I haven’t tried rear-facing, so I can’t comment on that, but the ease of front-facing installation is a huge plus for us.Spacious: The seat is very roomy, which works well for our ever-growing toddler. It’s comfortable and gives them plenty of space without feeling cramped.Ease of CleaningThe cover is easy to remove, which makes cleaning straightforward. However, since it isn’t water-resistant, you’ll need to plan for drying time if there are accidents and you don’t have access to a dryer.

This seat is plush and cool, so my kids are very comfortable in it. The materials are great, the size is perfect, the safety ratings are reassuring, and the price is amazing! This is a bare bones seat, though. It has no convenience features like an easily adjustable no-rethread harness, or a level so you angle is correct. However, that is reflected the VERY affordable price (about $85) The only issue I have with this seat is that it is a huge pain to install it correctly and securely in a rear facing orientation, especially if you have deeply contoured seats.PROS:- Great rear facing height and weight limits- Higher forward facing weight limit than almost any other seat in this price range, allowing your bigger kid to stay in a harness longer. My 4 year old is almost 45 pounds, so this 65 pound forward facing limit will allow him to stay on a harness for a few more years, until he is ready for a belt positioning booster.- Relatively compact size, with straight sides that make it easier to fit next to another seat.- Comfortable, cool fabric. Won't absorb heat like a dark seat if you live somewhere hot.- Plush seat!- Machine washable cover.- Cute styling! I got the aqua blue for both my son and daughter and they love it.- Easy forward facing install.- Lightweight and easy to carry for travel.CONS:- Difficult to get a tight installation rear facing.- Does NOT fit 3 across in a Jetta.- Tedious to rethread the straps and adjust the headrest.- The button you have to push to loosen the straps is buried under the cover and not marked, so it isn't easy to find and use.All in all, this is a great basic seat for the money!I use them as travel seats and back ups in our second car. This seat won't work well for someone who needs to use it for different children, as it must be removed from the vehicle to adjust the headrest and strap heights. It also wouldn't be ideal if you were going to be moving it from one car to another frequently, as the install isn't as quick and easy as it is on models with more convenience features. But it's safe and sturdy and does its job, and you really can't beat it for this price!

Very happy with this purchase. It is a “petite” car seat which gives much more room to other passengers. It’s seems to be very cushioned and soft.

This is such a streamlined Car seat, love it for my granddaughters. It is comfortable and easy to carry and install from Car to car. The price is great too. I'm getting another so I can take both girls and not have to use the bulky one from when they were still babies.

This car seat is ok. Works as any car seat does. It is however insanely difficult to install. I will pull the anchors as tight as I possibly can and the seat will still move very easily. It’s especially difficult with rear facing as it keeps reclining backwards even when we’ve reinstalled it multiple times and double, triple, and quadruple checked that it was installed correctly. I ended up turning my niece around before she maxed out. She was within the measurements for forward facing with this seat but I could never get it tight enough forward facing. You are supposed to make sure you cannot pinch the straps and it was nearly impossible to get it this tight. It is pretty lightweight so that is nice. If it didn’t lean back, it would be perfect for rear facing.

Ordered this to go into grandma’s car when my kids are with her. It’s super light weight. But definitely hard to secure into place. Doesn’t look very comfy, and there’s not like head rest. But at the same time, you’re getting what you pay for, so value for money, I think it’s great. It’s pretty small which is great for saving space or in smaller cars.

Update - so I ended up returning the car seat😭. As soon as I posted my review, she started complaining about the airplane buckle felt through the back. The headrest also put my toddler’s head in an awkward forward position. We may have pushed through for short trips but we live far from family so this ended up not working.********I bought this seat specifically for airplane travel. It fits perfectly in narrow seats, even with the arm rests down. The seat is nicely padded but you can feel the buckle through the back when forward facing, although my toddler has not complained. Really light weight, making it easy to move from terminal to terminal. It fits well on this collapsible dolly I bought. Very happy!
