Save your money

I bought a Britax because of all the talk about how safe it is, and while that may be true, I'm not overly impressed. My main complaint is that the straps twist ALL THE TIME even with the big plastic things that are supposed to help that problem. My other complaint is that the cover is itchy and it irritates my daughter's skin - living in a warm climate, she's in shorts or a skirt 90% of the time, so her skin is in contact with it a lot. It doesn't sit very high, so she has a hard time seeing out the windows. We have a Graco rear/forward facing convertable seat for my son and we LOVE it... I wish I had done my homework before purchasing this Britax because Graco makes a comparable version for so much less.

We Love it!!

We love this car seat. we upgraded from a graco booster when we realized that 40lbs is really still to early for a booster. It fits so tightly in our Kia Rhondo that the woman at the car seat cheaking place couldn't even get it out of the car. It is big and a little heavy, but still fits nicely in our midsizde car. My daughter finds it very comfortable and likes it because she can see out of the windows better than in her graco. My daughter weighs 32lbs and it looks to me like she will fit in it for years to come. The extra long experation date is a nice benifit too. If I had been more aware when she was a baby I wouold have purchased a Britax convertable seat which really are made to grow with your infant, but I am glad that we found this one. If you are looking for a forward facing booster and your infant weighs over 30lbs this is a great choice. I feel very comfortable that my daughter is in the safest seat we can buy. Worth the extra money.

Great choice

Was worried that it would be too big, too heavy, too difficult to install - it wasn't any of those things. Easy to intall with latch system and fits perfectly. 3 yr old says it's very comfortable - we both love the cupholder and the moveable arm rests. So much easier to get her in and out of this compared to her old car seat.
