We bought this for air travel and for a small Subaru wagon after our daughter was spilling out of her infant seat. It has many installation options, so you have to find the right one in the manual. There are little quirks that you can't gloss over, e.g. you have to use the safestop accessory in forward facing <40 lb installation. The LATCH system works fine, and I finally figured out that the "top tether" in my cargo area wasn't just some random tie down. I tried to mount this seat rear facing at first, but there was NO way I was going to get a passenger in the front seat, because it was slid all the way up.
For air travel, I think we need a seat belt extender because if you cinch the aircraft belt in the forward facing path, you'll never be able to release the seat belt. While the baby loves it, it is very heavy to lug around the airport and you can clock people with it if you're not careful. We bought the bag for it, but it's completely unsatisfactory. Sturdier sewing is essential and wheels would be nice.
