Good car seat but hard with a small car
June 21, 2017
I haven't had this long so it's hard to say completely yet. The car seat is nice, well put together, and nice covering and straps. However, it is hard to install with a small car .I have a Mazda sedan if that gives you an idea. I had to put it behind the passenger seat, take the head rest off to achieve appropriate recline with rear facing for my 1 year old, it doesn't hang off the edge of the seat and the width of it doesn't seem to take up too much room, but who ever sits in the passenger seat will have to scoot too close to the dash. Yesterday my son fell asleep on the drive in it, and his little head looked really uncomfortable but I suppose it's the way with a convertible car seat vs the infant seats. It is safe though and that's what matters most. I researched for a good month or 2 before I chose. And Britax is up there with the best crash test ratings.
Pros
- Comfortable
- Good safety measures
