This seat has a little more padding than other convertible seat models and includes a click-tight feature.

Click-tight feature clicks when you have pulled the straps tight enough. Weighs about 30 pounds and rated to hold a child up to about 65 pounds. 7 positions available. Holds up well through multiple children.
