Our Take
Rue is an appealing conventional infant seat for a family that wants a light carrier without a premium price. Independent testing strengthens that value case, rather than relying only on the feature list. The main fit compromise is the 30-inch height limit, which can shorten the infant-seat stage for a tall baby. We would practice both the regular base installation and any planned baseless setup, then confirm the stroller pairing by exact model rather than assuming universal compatibility.
What we like
- Light carrier
- Anti-rebound base design
- Accessible price positioning
Worth knowing
- 30-inch height maximum.
- Some vehicle-belt installations are less straightforward than the lower-anchor setup.
