Safety Features Offer Peace of Mind
The Via is side-impact tested to International standards. It's ideal for infants from 5 to 35 pounds with the base, and features a deep shell with double-wall construction for extra support. The Via can also be installed without the base for use up to 22 pounds. For added security, its patented Rebound Energy Management handle helps manage the rebound energy inside the car in the event of a crash.

The Via's one-hand adjustable five-point harness means you never need to rethread. A stay-in-the-car seat base make installation easy, while an easy release at the base of the seat makes detaching a breeze.
