Excellent car seat, even better on sale!
August 10, 2013
I bought this car seat after looking into the Graco Nautilus. I was looking for a seat that would allow my son to stay in a harness as long as possible, and then move to the two boosters. The Graco, though it appeared to be a reasonably priced and meet our needs, had a crotch strap that already appeared to be too close to my son. It wouldn't have been too long before he outgrew the harness. Therefore, we continued to search for seats with an additional crotch strap location. The Britax appears to be the only seat with this room. We looked into the lower cost model, but read the advantages to this model, including FAA approval, higher weight rating, and minimal cost difference. We bought this car seat 1 month ago, and our son appears to be comfortable in the seat. We will be taking our first extended trip in the next week.
Pros
- Additional locations for crotch strap.
Cons
- High cost if not on sale.
