I am in love with this seat, I know it's big and bulky but it meets my criteria

-anti rebound bar
-no rethread harness
-lock offs
-easy latch connectors
- fits newborns great
-the car seat adapter for the city mini gt is half the price of the regular one
-it's $174 at albeebaby
*bounus* it comes in cowmoo

I know it fits in my car

When no kid is in it and the handle is down it tips over, not a deal breaker but annoys me. Lol!

Cowmoo isn't plush on the Chaperone like it is on the other seats.

I know that but I feel like plush seats would be hotter anyways

Why do you need to be talked out of it if it meets what you want/need? I had one for DS3 (cowmoo even) and I absolutely loved that seat.

we love ours. The only negatives are now that the boys are around 16 lbs (5 months) I can no longer carry them - too heavy. And they do take up a lot of room front to back. When installed in my '10 Equinox my 6'4'' hubby is too squished to drive.

But the no rethread...heavenly.

Guess nothing can talk me out of it I have been stalking nbd for one too, I'm 5'2 and DF is 5'7" so not to concerned about how much space it takes up. I just can't find anything else on the market that suits my needs

i may be wrong on this but last time i looked the britax adaptor for Baby Jogger only fit chaperones made in 2010 and earlier. If thats true that may be a consideration...although the snap n gos are basically just as much as a baby jogger adaptor (that is what we did)

No way I could talk you out of it.. the *only* thing I wish they'd change is to make the cowmoo plush..

The cowmooflage chaperone is very low for toxicity compared to other covers/seats. Which doesn't help talking you out of it if, but good to know. This is the seat I would get if I had a premiee and needed a bucket seat.

Yeah I don't really think there was anything that could talk me out now, it's just I know there are seats that will last longer are lighter and cheaper, but I'm under the cow spell I guess
