Britax Car Seat

This is the best convertible carseat ever! I have owned Eddie Bauer ones in the past and I will never buy one of them again. Although this car seat is pricey, it is well worth the money. Britax is made in the USA!!!! You can change the height of the shoulder straps without removing the entire strap system, which is a huge plus! The seat is very comfy. My four year old tried it out first and she loved it. However, she wanted to get back into her booster seat. I use this for my 1 year old. It is rear facing because she is so small. It is ENORMOUS! However, I drive a van, so there is plenty of room. It was a little confusing when putting it in backwards because there is no level guide. I had to use towels to make it sit level. It is very easy to buckle up my daughter. The belly pad prevents those ineveitable pinches when buckling the harnest. The latch was very easy to do. When I installed it forward facing for my older daughter, it went in in a breeze! The Click & Safe is very useful for rear-facing and infants. It seemed too loose on my older daughter though. The seat cover is the best quality I've ever seen. It seems easy enough to remove, although I haven't had to do that yet. The only drawback is the size, but for the safety features, I'll take enormous.
