My young friend has one on order and is using a loaner (she went on vacation to NC).
I didn't have a chance to see her in it or try it in a vehicle. I was going to play with it a bit just in the house but as I moved the bottom seat portion, I noticed it too had been to the beach (YKWIM? ) so I had to restrain myself (sorry about the pun).
Her dad said they liked the way it supports her and she said it was comfy. They used it as a CR and as a W/C in a large (special needs) umbrella stroller. He also said he liked using it essentially as a booster for meals. She could sit up at the table (which she can't do when it's in the stroller).
It is a beastly thing, if you think an MA is large/bulky. . .It's listed as 31 pounds and it's quite long. It also has the tether (w/heavy duty anchor) and 2 "seat belts" for attaching it to the stroller, a regular chair, or it's own floor sitter base.
It is a soft plastic so it's easy to wash (I'll be curious to see how it wears). It has 3 adjustable pieces: headrest, back, seat bucket, and there are marks/indentations for 4-5 positions for the chest and you can order a second seat that is longer as well. It buckles in like the old FP 60/40 with the seatbelt going over the seat edge and then behind.
The harness has a SafeGuard chest clip and adjusters on both sides that look like the Evenflo Chase.
As I said before, it had been to the beach so I didn't get to look as closely as I will in the future.
