It's also a permanent fixture, so you won't have to wake your baby in order to get them out of the car on longer trips. But, it's not travel system-compatible like the Joie iSpin 360 iSize or Britax Romer Dualfix Plus i-Size (you need to buy a separate travel bag for this).

The disadvantage of permanent fixed car seats such as the Axkid One i-size is that they aren't as easy to carry around if you have to move them between cars. If you choose to purchase a separate travel bag pick one that is durable and can withstand the wear and tears of regular use. It's worth paying a little more for a bag that will last longer than your child's car seat.
