Britax Car Seat

After doing so much research, the Britax brand seemed to be the best option for us. Britax was rated one of the best car seats for the Honda Accord (which is what we have) so I started comparing the different Britax models. Since we live with limited storage space in the city, I went straight for the convertible style car seat, rather than starting off with the detachable infant seat with base style. Less "stuff" in our lives!

My daughter was born 8 lbs-9 oz and it worked really well for her starting from the trip home from the hospital. The fabric is incredibly soft and easily cleans up even after she had an "exorcist spit-up moment"! The seat itself is really comfortable. Our daughter falls asleep virtually everytime she is in her car seat. It has also worked well on long road trips to grandpa and grandma's house. I really like the button to release or tighten the straps - makes for easy adjustments since babies grow so fast and the spring weather makes for different clothing layers day to day. The velcro on the straps is so helpful to keep the straps in place while putting our daughter in her car seat - no digging underneath her to find them!

This car seat is a bit higher in price than other options, but it has been well worth it for us. Although we cannot comment on its effectiveness during an auto accident, we are very happy with the quality of this car seat. More importantly our daughter loves it as well!
