This seat scored the lowest score for ease of use in our tests. It is also a bit more difficult to install in comparison to other seats. The chest clip is huge and has a square button that requires some strength to push down on and undo. We also found it difficult to access the belt pathway since it is hidden beneath the cupholders. The Pria also only has five different height settings for harnesses that feels like a loss compared to most of the other models.

We recommend removing any slack on the tether from the rear of the seat, and then threading it through the attachment for the tether on the iSize base. This will keep the tether from getting caught on anything that might be pulled off.
