I evaluate how seats hold up: mechanisms, fabrics, cleaning, and second-kid reuse. My reviews center on value that lasts years, not months.

True value is measured in years of safe use, not MSRP.

A family asked if a premium seat would "save money long-term." I recommended a simpler, durable model and tracked their costs: spare cover, cleaning time, second-kid hand-down. Five years later it still clicks solidly and fits both cars. Their cost-per-year beat the premium by a wide margin.

I prefer simple, durable mechanisms over premium add-ons and seek the lowest cost-per-year that keeps fit and safety strong.
