The blanket is soft and warm. The cord could be a bit longer if I want to use it in the car like it's intended. We don't have a place to plug it in for backseat riders to use it. And the cord really should be longer for thoae that need to plug it in by the passenger in front and let the kids use it in back. It just barely reached and has no slack to use it. Great for the passenger in front though. My other issue is that it doesn't get warm enough. It basically gets weak like a blanket that you've used for a while but not really warm like a low level heating blanket usually is.
