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.
