Love it but...
February 3, 2022
We've had our seat since the kid was 2 so this is a long-term use review:-) The click tight feature is worthy every penny and this seat, like all the other Britax seats we've owned, is unreal in terms of how easy it is to install and use. I have never bothered with any other brand bc of this after seeing others struggle with other brands.
Overall quality is really good.
My complaints come in with aspects of the quality:
•The fabric keeps sliding off near the top wings of the seat and I'm constantly having to pull it back into place so the inner workings aren't exposed.
•The harness over time has become stiffer to adjust and now requires a huge final tug to loosen fully. We keep it clean and still...
•Our nearly 6yo is 43lbs and 44" and we don't have a ton of harness room left in this one around the upper thigh, which makes unbuckling hard for me and uncomfortable for the child. We are currently looking at a new harnessed booster because I'm not sure how long this will be comfy.
•The padding that our child sits on is not that impressive and I'm grateful there have been no complaints on comfort - probably only due to child's lightweight size. A heavier child would probably not find it comfy on long rides.
•About a year or so into owning, the recline adjust handle, which was never really that great functionally, completely broke off and I'm not a rough person. Disappointing, but the things I love about this seat far outweigh the cons and we don't have to adjust it often so manually reaching in to recline isn't terrible. Still, at this price point, none of these things should be an issue.
Also still, I accept this seat for any of its imperfections - It has really held up well over time if I had to give it an overall rating, despite my gripes I do love it and am happy with the purchase. Our next seat will be a Britax.
