Britax Car Seat

I purchased this carseat for my son who just turned a year old and has outgrown his Graco Snugride. I found it a little difficult to tighten the straps and had to get my husband to help me, but other than that, this is an excellent carseat that lives up to its reputation. It is quite heavy, which I think is due to the new steel frame and construction. The padding is also very nice, my son fell asleep in it the first time I put him in it! There are these little velcro pieces on the side that are meant to keep the straps out of the way when you are getting your child in and out of the seat, but for some reason on mine (and on another Blvd floor model in BabiesRUs), it was hard to get the velcro pieces to align. However, that would be my only minor complaint about this seat.

This is a wonderful car seat. My daughter loves it. She is 12 months old and can see out the car windows perfectly. It is quite large, but not overly so. We have a Honda Accord and it still fits in next to a rear facting car seat though. It is a little hard to install due to the fact that the booklet is attached to the seat with no way to remove it, but fairly simple still. The harness is a little hard to get use to as sometimes one side seems to get tight while the other doesnt, but that is my error I believe as I can fix it. This is a very plush, safe car seat. I would definately recommend it.

We love this car seat. When my son was 3 months we purchased it, his infant carrier was too big for the back seat of Suzuki Aerio (not the hatch back). We took a display model for a test drive and fell in love with it right away. The compact size of this seat and its amazing safety ratings sealed the deal.

About a year later my spouse was assigned overseas. My son and I were unable to travel at the same time as him. When you combine this carseat with the Go Go Babyz travelmate it is a complete success. On our long 8.5 hr flight across the big pond my son slept like a dream. I was worried about installing this seat on the three different airplanes we traveled on. It was more than easy, i would ask the flight attendants for the seatbelt extension and in minutes the seat was in the airplane. On the longest flight there were a few other military families with the car seats that have wheels on them and are "travel" carseats, they struggled trying to get inbetween the seats and had to pick up the entire carseat to go through the isles. I was able to wheel my son in his Diplomat carseat with GoGO Babyz attachment right to our isle with no problems. Durring the flight two of the toddlers in the other car seats were cranky and cried alot. this was an overnight flight. My son was able to sleep like a dream, this was mostly because of the head rest.

The head rest on this carseat is amazing. It provides much needed protection and comfort. There was one instance where my husband and I borrowed a friends truck to move some large furniture. Our friend had a kid about the same age and so already had a carseat in the back seat. We figured our son would be ok for the roughly 3hrs we would have the truck. About forty five minutes into our drive, when he would normally have fallen alseep, he was restless and crying. Every time he tried to rest his head on the carseat (w/o the "wings") he would drift off and then wake up as we hit a bump or if there was a turn in the road. He acted like he was trying to find his headrest by rocking his head from side to side and then crying when he couldn't find it. After this "testing" a different carseat, my husband and I fully realized how amazing the Diplomat was. We never again used a different carseat on him.


**Warning child safety rant starts here**

on a side note. If you are considering this carseat and are apprehensive about the price tag, chew on this.

This is YOUR CHILD. The price of the car seat or the missing eddie baur label should NOT be a major factor. My husband and I are baffled at the carseats we see in other peoples super "safe" cars. Parents at times can focus soo much on how safe the car is, but fail to continue looking into making the car safe for thier new arrival. Your childs carseat is a continuation of your car's safety. Cute does not always equal safe. When I see a nice newer car and an adorable iffy carseat in the backseat, it just makes me wonder. You spend soooo much on your safe car and adorable accessories but forget to make traveling in the car safe for your child. If you really want to see some shocking footage just check out sarseat safety trials on U-Tube. See how "safe" graco and eddi bauer carseats really are.

True Side Impact Protection for Advanced Security
Offering True Side Impact Protection, the Diplomat Convertible Car Seat delivers superior protection if you happen to face an unexpected side-impact accident. If such an event takes place, the solid head support and deep side walls work efficiently to distribute crash forces, shield the child from vehicle intrusion, contain the head and body, and keep the head, neck, and spine aligned to limit injury.

Superior 360-Degree Protection to Minimize the Risk of Injury
In addition to True Side Impact Protection, the Diplomat offers a variety of superior crash force management features to keep your child properly positioned and protected. First, the patented, energy-absorbing Versa-Tether has staged-release tether webbing, anchoring the top of the seat at two points to minimize forward movement. For growing babies, the easy-adjust, tangle-free five-point harness offers infinite harness height adjustments for a snug, custom fit.

For additional protection, an energy-absorbing EPS foam liner and energy-absorbing base absorb and distribute forces in the event of an unexpected impact.

Superior Fit and Comfort Features
Whether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they'll enjoy that the Diplomat reclines in both the forward and rear position. With additional features which include high-density comfort foam for extra padding, a plush cover set with a matching belly pad for comfort, and an infant body pillow for a custom fit, they'll always ride in style and comfort.

Superior Ease of Use for Safety and Convenience
For quick adjustments, the Diplomat features an easy-turn knob that changes the headrest and harness height without requiring you to uninstall the seat, and a front harness adjuster allows for easy loosening of the straps. Premium push-button lower LATCH connectors provide a simple and tight installation, while built-in lock-offs secure the vehicle seat belt so that the car seat does not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.

Compact Design Fits in Small Back Seats

After doing a lot of research for an "upgrade" from my son's infant seat, we settled on the Britax Marathon and couldn't be happier. It is sturdy and comfortable. I started using it when he had outgrown his infant seat at about 13 months. The first time I put him in it, he actually slept for the first time in a long time while in the car. I think ths seat is very comfortable for him. It's also not bulky, as I have a compact car. This is THE BEST car seat, I can't say enough about it. Believe the hype about Britax, they are great products!!
