Overall love this
February 8, 2022
We have been using this carseat for 2 years now. I LOVE how easy it is to install. It takes less than 5 minutes to transfer to another vehicle. I'm not crazy about how wobbly the headrest is, but it's very easy to clean, which has saved us several times after my son got sick in it.

Easiest Install! Longest Rear Facing!
February 7, 2022
I love this seat! It’s the easiest seat to install and my daughter loves it! This seat is shared between my parents and sisters car so I install it almost weekly. So easy, tight, and safe! Also a big perk that it lasts rear facing longer than others! Not as heavy to carry as others either!

Comfortable with some flaws
February 4, 2022
Large and very heavy, but we don’t move it often so it doesn’t bother us. The cup holders come off too easily (I’ve been blindsided by a cup holder the the head mid drive, thanks shady baby lol). The harness is harder to adjust than my prior Britax convertible car seat for some reason. Wish it would be easier to recline so my toddlers head wouldn’t bob as much during a nap. All in all pretty easy to take apart and wash and he seems comfortable when awake.
Pros
  • Easy to wash
  • Spacious
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Cup holders come off too easily
  • Click tight doesn?t seem as efficient as in other models
  • Recline should be easier

Favorite convertible so far!
January 29, 2022
We’ve only used this seat rear facing so far but it has been my favorite by far! It has fit amazingly in every car I’ve tried it in for my 1 year old and is super easy to install! The only downfall to the seat is how heavy it is but we don’t move seats around often so the weight doesn’t matter to us at all!

high quality, easy install, big
January 5, 2022
Overall I can't complain. This car seat is very solid, you can feel the quality and strength. I feel like if my car was totaled, this car seat would be the only thing left unharmed. Very comfortable for our baby. The washable cushions are really convenient. Install is a breeze. Only annoying thing is that it's HUGE. It takes up 1.5 seats in our car and I can no longer recline my seat as far back as I used to. Granted, this is dependent on the size of your vehicle.
Pros
  • Quality, it's like Sherman tank status protection for our child. Removable/ washable cushions, for the inevitable spills/ and spit-ups. Mega comfy, our daughter seems to really enjoy riding in it. Very easy install. I swear, you could throw this out of a plane mid flight and it wouldn't be damaged.
Best Uses
  • Protecting your child. Removing and re-installing in another car in less than 10 minutes.
Cons
  • Big, Takes up a lot of space. Heavy.

The easiest to install

Just upgraded to this from our infant seat and my son loves it. No more screaming in the car! And it was a breeze to install.

Awesome!
November 14, 2021
A fantastic option for your fast or slow growing (height and weight) child! The cup holder feature is fantastic and being able to stick to one seat for the duration of a child's growth into a normal vehicle seat just makes sense.
Pros
  • Ease of install
  • It's a marshmallow around the child
  • Cup holders
Cons
  • Straps can seem stiff to loosen or limited in looseness (probably a way to fix this within the seat)

Great seat!
November 13, 2021
Love this seat and it seems really comfortable for our toddler and younger baby. Only negative is that the straps are hard to tighten but not impossible. The install is SUPER east to accomplish appropriately but it is a heavy seat.
Pros
  • Easy install, comfortable for child, easily accessible cup holders
Best Uses
  • Best used if not transferred often just because of the weight but if the weight is not an issue the install is easy!
Cons
  • Hard to tighten harness, heavy and bulky

Worth every penny
October 12, 2021
Great seat, owned it 3 months now and my baby loves this seat. She's finicky about her surroundings, but loves being in this seat. Easy to install and user friendly. Construction is excellent and the aesthetic and ergonomic features are spot on. I own a Britax booster also for our toddler and can see why this brand is preferred by so many. I feel confident that my girls are not only safe, but comfortable every time we get in our vehicle, piece of mind like this doesn't have a dollar sign that could define it. Thank you Britax and thank you Albee for your high standards and excellent handling of products that help shape our young ones lives.
Pros
  • Confidence
  • Easy to use
  • Beautiful to look at
  • Known commodity
  • Worth its weight in gold
Best Uses
  • Safety and comfort of my baby
Cons
  • Zero

Heavy seat!
September 20, 2021
This is a nice car seat that is built well. But 2 things jump out to me. It is heavy! At 30 pounds it’s almost 10-12 pounds heavier than most car seats. It is not a. Seat you will want to transfer often. The other thing is it is a deep seat. My daughter is tall and was 8 months when we started using it but had she been a tiny baby I wonder if it would have made her sit weird like Too folded up and therefore uncomfortable. Because it is deep you have to make sure to pull all the slack out of the hips and tighten the straps well. I didn’t have it tight enough the first time I used it and there was a gap between the where the buckle sat(at her crotch) and her legs and she was able to get her leg up and stuck through the strap.
Pros
  • Nice seat, built well. The way it connects in the truck is easy- just lift the seat and bring buckle across. Which is nice since my husbands truck doesn?t have the latch system.
Cons
  • Kind of expensive
  • Heavy!
  • Deep seat
  • Hard to get my child in & out of in my husbands F350

Amazing seat!
September 2, 2021
It’s a wonderful seat. I had the infant shell seat for my daughter, when she grew I put that seat into storage and bought this one. She fit so well in this one, it’s very easy to install and she’s very comfortable in it. We just had our second so we ordered a purple one for our daughter and our son will use the black one when he outgrows the Britax infant seat.

Super comfy / sturdy, seems very safe
August 15, 2021
My son loves this car seat. It’s much more padded / cushioned than the last one we had for him, and adjusting the straps is straightforward. I love that it’s less toxic than most other car seats- definitely safer for our son. It’s expensive, but we definitely recommend it (plus it’ll last him 8 years- the extra money goes a long way).

Easy all around
August 13, 2021
Wow. I am a CPST (child passenger safety tech) and this is the easiest car seat to install that I’ve encountered. Just lift the panel, click the seat belt, close the panel. Done. And the harness is so easy to adjust for the kiddo too. The different webbing seems a little more sturdy, and doesn’t allow the chest clip to move on it’s own compared with regular harness/seat belt material. The no rethread harness is clutch, as it allows the perfect height as your kiddo grows, and is a simple handle adjustment. They also have the optional added safety feature of the anti-rebound bar for rear facing position. Plus, rear facing allows for 50#! My kid will max out the rear facing before I flip him forward, so he might be in kindergarten, but I’d rather save his brain if I can! The one downside is that it’s a bit heavy due to the Click Tight system (30#), but Britax even thought of that and put in a padded handle where you would carry it. We use this car seat for our extra caregivers (aunt, grandma, nanny) due to the reported ease of use, and no one has had a problem with getting a secure install. If I would have known it was this easy, I would have gotten it for my husbands vehicle too. Huge recommend.
Pros
  • Extremely easy to install to vehicle and to secure child. Rear facing 50#, optional anti-rebound bar. Carrying handle. Not super wide so fits easily in smaller cars (Honda Civic, Subaru Crosstrek, Volkswagen Jetta are what ours has been installed in). Plus it?s a 10 year seat and grows to high-back booster mode, so even though the price was not cheap, it pays for itself in the long run by not having to buy a separate booster or forward facing seat.
Best Uses
  • If you have a seat that will be taken out and installed multiple times, this is it. This goes to our nanny, auntie, grandma, and dad?s vehicle when that one has been soaked with pee 🤪.
Cons
  • ClickTight system adds weight, so the 30# is a little bulky to haul, but they added a carry handle to account for that extra weight, which I?ve never seen on other car seats.

Great Car Seat and Best Price for Style and Add Ons
August 1, 2021
I really like the car seat. It was really easy to install and feels very safe and sturdy. My daughter enjoys it very much, she very comfortable in it and I love the multiple reclining options. I can make it more of a lay down position When she is sleeping. I got the anti rebound attachment and the most expensive fabric that is easy to wipe and keeps her cool and I still pay way less than at Amazon or even Britax website. I just wished the customer service was more available because I had couple of questions and they never answered me before purchasing. I had to go on my own to do the research. Still really good deal.
Pros
  • Price
  • Anti rebound attachment for added safety
  • Special fabric
  • Multiple reclining positions
  • Easy to install
  • Comfortable
  • Very Safe
Cons
  • No Customer Service to answer questions
  • Had to pay delivery fee
  • No free returns

The best seat for extended rear facing!
June 5, 2021
The one4life is the best seat available to extended rear face. It combines the highest weight limit, height limit, and TORSO HEIGHT limit (which is something many don't consider). If your kiddo has a long torso, this is the one. It's also comfortable, attractive, easy to get a good installation, and has machine washable covers! What more could a parent ask for? Besides maybe that this seat can* last your kid ten years. But really, the harness height is 19 inches, that's the highest currently available. If your child is a giant with the longest torso you've ever seen (like mine), you want this seat. We have one in both our vehicles.

Overall I love this car seat. It’s VERY easy to install and get a correct fit. I love the safe wash but it is a little tedious to put back together if you remove the seat fabrics. My only complaint is that the belt doesn’t glide when you are tightening the harness.

We have bought 3 of these now and love them!!
May 29, 2021
We are Grandparents and we purchased one for our vehicle for use with our 2 new grandsons. Our daughters loved how perfect they were, so just today we ordered each of them one as well. The safety features on this car seat are amazing. You can't even wiggle the set a hair once it is installed. It is very heavy, but that just gives us assurance of the safety in case of an accident. Both of our grandsons love the ride in this seat. They love to look around. They do each have infant Britax car seat systems we purchased them, but this Britax style sits taller, so they can see around and outside. This car seat makes long trips possible and gives us peace of mind of their safety.

This car seat is awesome! The best part about it is the fact that it installs so easily. Fits perfect in my 2017 Nissan Maxima with plenty of leg room on driver and passenger side. Love that it has a steel frame, this was one huge deciding factor for my husband and I. Will be purchasing another one for my husband’s truck and for any future babies we have!! Also awesome that it is good for basically the life of my child’s car seat days up to 120 lbs!

I have twin boys and I did a lot of research as far as what would last us the longest. We didn’t want to buy new car seats every 4 or 3 years depending on how it wears or ease of use. My boys are on the heavier/taller side and they are still so comfortable rear facing.

Pros
  • Rear-face until 50lbs!!
  • Easiest Install (click-tight)
  • Cover is machine washable
  • Multiple incline options
  • Non-rethread harness
  • The sides are vented so it helps with the hot summers in Texas
Cons
  • Heavy if you?ll be switching it between vehicles often but I feel the easy installation trumps this con.

I am so thrilled with the seat. We transitioned from the doona, and I miss the doona so much but she just didn’t fit it anymore. I drive a sport sedan and it fits nicely in the middle seat. Love the color and the feeling of the interior is amazing wish my seat was made out of it too! I love that if I do get in a small accident I don’t have to replace it like other brands and I feel more confident with her in the car now knowing this seat has a steel frame and the best safety features on the market. It was worth every single penny.

My son hates the bucket seat, we were able to put him in this convertible seat with less of an incline than the bucket while still staying safe in the recommended recline for his weight/height while still rear facing. This made a huge difference for longer car rides as well. Great looking and also easy install!

We bought this seat so that we could have a seat in each vehicle. I wanted something with plenty of cushion for long trips and a longer rear facing weight limit. I love how easy the install is. It reminded me of the snuglock on the infant carrier from Graco we had. My toddler loves it has two cup holders and seems pretty comfortable in his seat. We bought this seat in August 2020 and I wish we would have bought it sooner.

So comfy
January 10, 2021
I love how cushiony this car seat is, I originally wanted it because of the materials used to make it (no toxic chemicals, etc), but was pleasantly surprised by the soft comfy cushioned seating. He did not like being in the car until we got him this car seat. In addition, it will be useful to my baby until he grows up! Very happy with it.
Pros
  • Cushiony, comfy, grows with baby, no chemicals, good looking.
Best Uses
  • Long car rides.
Cons
  • Baby has been able to get the cup holders out on his own but not a problem really.
