Wayb Pico Car Seat Review
If your kid is old enough, i.e. meets the minimum size requirement for the Wayb Pico Car Seat (22 lbs and 30 inches), then this seat is great for travelling. It's much smaller than the prior seat we used for travel, the Combi Coccoro, and although it's bigger than Wayb's marketing photos would like you to see, aainly in thickness/depth, still quite compact when folded.
We like the excellent engineering of the seat. Lots of small details show they've thought about how it's going to be used. For instance, the latch buckles, when not in use, latch to the seat itself, so aren't left to dangle. There are little elastic straps at the ends of the webbing so that you can roll up the extra length and tidily keep it rolled, so save from more dangle. The tether strap has a nice storage around of it's own. The overall design, with it's welded aluminum, is a refreshing change from bulky plastic car seats.
For travel purposes, it's easy to strap it into a car or airplane seat. In an airplane, it has the advantage of putting your kid much closer to the plane seat's back, which means that their little legs cannot kick the seat in front of them. If their legs are long enough to reach the seat in front, then your kid ought to be old enough to know better. For smaller kids, their legs will be straight out in front of them, and they can move around well enough to not feel too constricted. Although there is no hard partition between the seat fabric/mesh and the airplane buckle that'll be buckled right behind it, the distance is sufficient so that the buckle doesn't interfere with comfort.
The shoulder belt height is not adjustable so for shorter kids, they'll feel it on their necks, which might be uncomfortable. The shoulder pads aren't exactly soft either. We may substitute them with something more comfortable.
Another somewhat disadvantage is that unlike with the Combi, the seat is pretty vertical, i.e. your kid isn't much reclined, and thus, sleep means that their head will be unsupported. Maybe there needs to be a toddler neck pillow for this situation.
For transit, there is a backpack case option, though that means you can't carry anything else on your back. It is possible to strap it to a luggage rack as with any car seat.
