Safe, but has issues
August 23, 2014
First, the seat in safe. I think the seat looks great and is gender neutral. I'm not sure if all infant car seats are like this, but my LO is always sweating in this seat. Other than being hot, the seat seems to be comfortable. As I've read in other reviews, this seat is not compatible with other types of strollers. I purchased several adaptors that say they are compatible with Britax. They are for other Britax seats, not the B-Safe. I do have a newer BoB stroller with the appropriate attachment. I wanted to be able to have smaller everyday/snap and go type of stroller while we were using this seat all of the time when she was younger. There is not an option unless you purchase a Britax Stroller. I wanted a quick solution - especially since I was not allowed to lift anything heavier than the baby for a couple of months after birth. It's heavy once baby is inside, although I have a little chunky monkey. The main issue I have while carrying this car seat are the clips that hang down on the sides (they are for attaching to a stroller - not the base). When I carry it, those plastic pieces hit my legs as I walk. I have had bruises on my quads for 7 months straight now from carrying this car seat. It is awful. There needs to be another way to attach this to a stroller. I have an older single Bob with the standard infant car seat bar. I am able to make it work as long as I have the safety strap on. This does not require those clips. On my double Bob, the attachment does require the clips on the side of the seat. Had I carried this car seat prior to purchasing, I would not because of those side clips and its lack of compatibility with other strollers.
