Excellent car seat
July 26, 2022
My son is 20 months and just stopped using this car seat. It lasted us so long and I always felt like he was very safe in it. The car seat easily snaps into our Britax stroller so it has been very convenient and the main reason we've used it for so long. High recommend. Easy to clean as well.

Can I get info on how to use the insert (back support)?

My baby is just 5 days old and it seems to me that he is not upright and not sure if the insert will help to keep her upright and not chest to chin

Easy to clean! Strong & safe
June 15, 2020
I've had this car seat for two years now. My daughter is just growing out of it at 2. It's deep so plenty of room for baby to grow and easy to clean and manage. The only downfall is that it's super heavy. But probably because the quality is great I would assume. Easily attaches to a bob stroller with the metal attachment sold separately

Very nice and secure infant car seat. Thankfully I have not experienced an accident with it, but I do trust it will protect my baby by the quality and build of the materials.

Increased peace of mind
March 23, 2020
Love this car seat. All the extra safety features really made me feel safe traveling with my baby. Very easy to install and secure baby. Only con is the weight. By the time our baby was 4-5 months I could no longer carry the baby in the carrier and I definitely couldn’t get the car seat back into the car with baby in it. This wasn’t too big of a deal since we only had one at the time but I could see this being a problem if you had other kids to wrangle.

Too small for marketed size
March 1, 2020
There is no way anybody's child is still in this seat after 25 lbs. I specifically got it becasue I thought it would last longer. My son is so squished inside this seat. He is currently 22 lbs. It is so hard to get him in and out. Even with the straps set to the largest setting it is so hard to get him inside. I am looking for another carseat now which is absolutely not in my budget.

BEWARE, the label rubbed my baby's head bald
January 19, 2020
I did not do enough research when it came to carseats but the gist of this review is to warn parents and inform the manufacturer that the LABEL on the carseat where the baby's head is resting/positioned has rough stitching! The stitching is SO rough that is wore my daughters hair off and created a BALD SPOT that was so extreme I was worried something was wrong with her. I thought it might have been the way we were positioning her in the bassinet but we adjusted her position and that didn't solve the balding. Then we went on a road trip, 3 hours long, when she was 5 months old, and towards the end of the trip she was so distressed and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. I was so distraught! Well FINALLY, as I was holding her in my arms in the restroom, I look in the mirror at the back of her head and see it is bright red! It had been rubbed RAW and I finally figured out this car seat label had been riping her hair out! I was so upset and sad because she had been dealing with this for so long and I had no idea. I rubbed my fingers across the stitching on the Britax label and it was SO rough, I knew it was what caused her irritated/bald spot. I didnt return the seat because I have the entire set, with two bases and stroller, it was such a hassle! So from then on, I have been putting a head protector piece of fabric over the label and I put a hat on my baby. Now her head is healing and the hair is growing back. But this is a serious design flaw on Britax's part. The next problem I have with this Britax B-Safe 35 car seat is how cumbersome and HEAVY it is. After a baby begins to hit the double digit numbers with their weight, this is a really heavy piece to carry. Its just too heavy and bulky! I understand its SO SAFE, and I bought it because I didnt want to give up the safety ratings that came with it. I read the warnings that the car seat was heavy by itself, but this thing gets REALLY heavy after you put a 6month old baby in it. Fair warning, definitely protect your little ones heads and make sure your arms are ready for a workout when carrying this Britax B-Safe 35 car seat. I wish I had read more of the reviews and purchased another 4-in-1 seat.

Excellent Carseat
December 14, 2019
I have been so happy with this product. I feel extremely safe putting my babies in it. I love how deep it is because I feel as if it provides extra protection. I highly recommend this product. I love the way it looks and the fabric quality is amazing. I own many britax products and will only put my babies in britax products. My only problem is I cannot find replacement shoulder straps and I refuse to put other brands on with my Britax.

Great for preemies
December 2, 2019
My daughter was 4 lbs at birth. When we left the hospital she was 5 lbs. She had to pass a car seat trial to go home. She was able to pass it without any extra padding due to the seat design. Since being home I love the car seat and stroller. The seat is very easy to get in and out of the car. The only downside is that the base loosens on leather seats.

Best Car Seat
November 12, 2019
With our first son, my husband and I went with a Graco brand seat. There wasn't anything spectacular about the seat. It was a little difficult getting it in and out the car. So with our second son, we decided to do some research. We agreed the Britax car seat was the best choice. We loved it so much we purchased one for his vehicle as well. Its so easy to get it in and out of the car. That back handle is what I like most because all you have to do is pull it and it comes right out. I would highly recommend this seat.

Great infant car seat
April 29, 2019
This car seat has served us well....our infants were safe and comfy in this seat. The materials are nice, and with the optional click in base it is so convenient! It is pretty heavy, and if I had to do it all over I would probably choose a convertible to grow with baby, but nonetheless I'm happy with the purchase and glad that we selected this car seat.
Pros
  • Optional click in base makes this car seat so convenient! Nice materials and comfy/safe for baby.
Best Uses
  • I used this with a BOB and a Joovy twin click-in. There's no way I would ever use this without the click in base - as long as you have the click in base, this is a great car seat!
Cons
  • Heavy and expensive, esp considering it's not convertible. Would be great to have easy to clean cover and straps. I found cleaning this difficult and there was always debris deep in the crevices no matter what I did.

Too Narrow
February 25, 2019
I love Britax and the ease of adjusting this seat, but at 7.5 months it no longer fit my son- his shoulders touched edge to edge in the seat. He's 20lbs and 28" for reference. I suppose if you have a string bean baby, it might last longer. I'm really disappointed and wished we didn't have to purchase a convertible car seat so soon. Other complaints- sometimes stuck when trying to unlatch from base and it was really hot (summer baby). Things we like- works amazingly with Bob stroller, easy to adjust height, canopy is great

As a first time mom, I researched car seats for a very long time. I decided to choose Britax over the rest because of its durability and the Clicktight system. I have been extremely satisfied with this car seat and the overall travel system. If you are on the fence about a car seat. I highly recommend getting a Britax car seat.

Cozy, great quality
January 14, 2019
I bought this to go with my b ready stroller and was a little nervous as I have a very chunky (97th percentile) baby but she likes it. I do have to "dig" her out but it hasn't been a problem for either of us. Very good quality, cozy padding, easy to use. The canopy was a little disappointing as it's a little saggy but it will make it softer on her head as she grows taller. I like the 32" height limit.

Very Safe!
October 18, 2018
This is was our second Britax car seat, and we will never use another brand! We were in a recent car accident with our 7 week old with this carseat and it did not move! We were told by the EMT's that she was extremely safe and she did not even have a mark on her from the harness rubbing. We also have a Marathon Britax and it held up perfectly! These carseats kept my little ones very safe! We hit head-on going 35 MPH, it says a lot about Britax's product! We will be replacing them with the same kind! They are expensive but WORTH every penny!

We've had this seat (also base and stroller) since April 2016. My babe is little so he's been in it for 29 months. It has never let me down and he never fights getting in it. I'm secretly sad that he's grown out of it because it's been so great. Fits in all our vehicles with no issue, easy to carry, and easy to adjust.

August 21, 2018
I have had no issues with this seat. I like the material since he doesn't sweat in it as badly as other materials and it's easy to wipe. I also bought the B-Safe 35 Elite and have had nothing but problems with that seat. I may have received a bad seat I'm uncertain and Britax didn't seem interested in correcting the issues. But with this seat...no problems. Should've bought two of these and passed on the Elite. It is also a bit wider than the Elite. Although you have to adjust the straps by hand as they get taller it doesn't cause problems with the straps and yoke turning in the back of the seat.

Safe, Secured But TOO Narrow
May 2, 2018
As a first time mom, I researched many car seats and felt this one was the best. The base was easy to install and the car seat itself was not too heavy. It snapped great with its corresponding stroller. When my baby reached at about 5 months, we noticed she was a bit squished from the sides. Grant it, my baby was on the chunky side for her age but she did not like being in the car seat. Luckily my MIL had the Britax Car Seat 2014 and its sides were wide and spacious to easily place and take out the baby. I compared the width of this car seat (B-Safe 35) with others like Graco, Maxi Cosi and its width is definitely too narrow. That is my only complaint, the sides were too narrow. Aside from that, the car seat is great! I really liked the canopy.

Great for Newborn...Not So Great for Chunky Babies
April 26, 2018
I love this car seat and stroller set. It has been wonderful up until she began getting chunky. Her thighs are very chunky and there is no room for them. I literally have to scrunch her legs to get the belt to fasten. I literally have to peal her out of the seat because it has become to small. Now I will need to get a new seat because she is just so chunk! I would recommend it for smaller babies. But it is definitely not recommended for something that can grow with your baby.

Ugly warning labels all over
April 17, 2018
This seat feels quality; however, it appears ridiculous. There are at least 8 or 9 hideous, obnoxious warning labels plastered all over the seat. Multiple languages, too. Really cheapens the otherwise nice, simple look of this carseat. Labels don't peel off easily either; the sticky ones are the paper thin kind with the ridiculous glue that never comes off. The two in the seat itself are on either side of the baby's head, with double reinforced stitching lining each sticker. These appear to be part of the actual fabric of the seat, I have been unsuccessful getting them off even with a seam ripper.

Really cute

I bought this car seat a week ago for My bob rambler jogger Along with the stroller adapter and it's so cute! I love the cowmo print. The deepness of the car seat makes it look like baby will be so comfy and secure. I will say the car seat is a bit heavy but overall I love the car seat and the brand. Wish I would've went with this brand for my first born!

Easy base install
April 6, 2018
The car seat is great overall. Love the ease of install of the base when used with the tethers. Very easy to swap between two cars. My son was 6lbs coming home from the hospital and this seat worked great without any additional infant insert. He is 20 lbs at 9 months and it has gotten a little snug in the shoulder area. The car seat has become very awkward to hold and maneuver the more my son grows. Will be switching to the britax advocate soon.
Pros
  • Infant insert can be removed for more room, easy base install via tethers, cover removes and goes back on easy for cleaning.
Cons
  • No room for arm to slide between shade when opened and handle to carry, becomes awkward to carry as child gains weight, large seat causes seat itâ€â"¢s behind to sit very far forward.

Superb Quality and usage
November 20, 2017
I purchased this product after researching for weeks on the best car seat. I waited to write a review because I wanted ensure that I had adequate time to test out the product. My bay is 9 months and she is still using this product. Installation was a little tricky but that is completely on us for not thoroughly reading the manual. My daughter gives me no fuss getting in and out the seat. It is a fairly heavy car seat and quite bulky but those features make me feel like the car seat is safer. I have had no issues with a loose base. My harness clip stays in tact and adjusting the straps is very easy. My only riff is I wish there were more of a varirty in prints and colors. The black is very drab. I like girls to have girly things. All in all ths seat is very high quality and worth purchasing.

Not the happiest consumer
October 18, 2017
My husband and myself purchased this carseat after doing months of research on infant car seats. We loved all the safety features and the sleek style this seat had to offer. Now that our son is 3 months old weighing nearly 17lbs and measures about 26 inches in length he can barely fit in the seat! This seat claims to hold babies up to 35lbs but that is definitely not the case! The built in head support at its highest setting is far to low for our son and pushes his little shoulders down which keeps him in an uncomfortable slouchy position. If you are a median income citizen such as myself this is definitely not a car seat to purchase if you plan on using it for more than a few months.

poor quality for the price
October 8, 2017
We really wanted to like the B safe 35 Elite for our twins, but unfortunately they did not live up to our expectations. The seats are pricey and the material used is poorly padded and scratchy. They are extremely heavy, are very narrow, and also have extremely deep bucket seats. My twins scream every time they get placed in these seats. Our twins continue to demonstrate their chin sitting on their chest due to the deep bucket seats. I have contacted customer service (sent pictures too) and they provided limited assistance to adjust their position. I was thinking that the poor neck position was a result of them being little newborns, but still at 4 months their head position is poor. For the cost of these seats I would expect higher quality and better padded material. I have done extensive research on other infant carseats in a comparable price point and their materials are much more plush. I want nothing more than to return these carseats and get our money back. We will not ever consider purchasing or recommending Britax carseats in the future.

Poor design

I bought this to transport my grandson. It is the same model as the one my son has. Our car seat is too narrow to hold my grandson who is 4 months old and 18 pounds. He barely fits in the same model seat my son bought for him (serial number S03803900003253). I have disassembled our seat as directed by the instructions and can't see any way to make it wider. Is there nothing else we can do?

So Grateful!!!!

We are so grateful to Britax for their car seat's safety. My 7 month old niece was in a head on collision this week with a semi truck while in her Britax car seat. While the car was demolished and her mother sustained serious injuries The car seat looks as if it has never been touched and truly saved her life. We can not express the thanks and gratitude we feel to your company for the safety measures you take knowing the precious cargo that it carries. We can not possibly tell you thank you enough and have earned yourself true loyal customers and a lot of publicity to anyone who will listen to us.

My husband and I were so excited to receive this car seat as a gift. We've heard from friends and car seat installers how easy and safe this seat is. We were able to install it quick and easy in my husband's truck. Took it to be installed in my car (2012 Honda Pilot) and found out that it will not work. I'm so sad that we are going to have to trade this seat in.

I purchased this carseat for my newborn and it has been wonderful. It has worked great for me since its not as heavy as some others one i tried prior to this purchase. The head pads are adjustable to raise as your baby grows. Unfortunately my baby is as tall as dad so we are going to have to get a toddler one soon. Other than that babies fit snug, its very nice cosmetically and cover comes off easily to do a through cleaning

Safest seat on the market
July 5, 2017
We bought this seat for our 4th child after using Graco infant seat for our other 3 children. It was a big getting used to, as it's just different than our other infant seat, but so far we are very happy. We loved the safety features and easy installation of our Britax convertible car seats so when looking at infant seats this time around we went right to see what Britax had to offer. Base is easily installed and seat clicks into the base with very little manipulation. My baby was just under 7 lbs when born, so he is small. The only caution I would give to other parents is that I'm not sure it would be a great seat for a larger baby. The baby is very snug and I'm not sure a larger baby would be comfortable. I'm curious to see how he fits as he grows over the next few months. Other than that, so far we very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend this product and other Britax car seats to other parents.

Great Quality-Very Durable

First Baby, who is now 11 months, and this carseat has been great!! VERY durable. You can tell when carrying it that it is very well built & heavy duty. Getting a little heavy for me to carry, but we usually take her out of the seat, and leave the car seat in the car now. It still looks brand new after 11 months, and a lot of use. We borrowed a Chicco brand from a friend for our second vehicle, and we did not like it at all. Not comfortable, not nearly as big and spacious for our daughter. Britex all the way!

Stroller compatibility
July 3, 2017
I purchased the B-Safe 35 Elite based on the fact that I had an old Chaperone travel system where the seat had expired but the stroller is in excellent condition. The site for the B-Safe says: "Click & Go stroller compatibility allows you to pair the car seat with any Britax stroller and customize the perfect travel system. No adapters necessary." Turns out this is not true. It only works with currently manufactured strollers and does not work with the old Chaperone. Their information was not specific and now I have to spend more money to purchase a stroller too. If the information had been accurate I could have just purchased a travel system up front. Not happy.
