Comfy but fabric pilled after first wash
March 2, 2023
Comfy and easy to use, however we had to wash it within the first week of using it (thanks to the stomach bug) and it developed pills all over the fabric. I am hoping the fabric will keep up for a few years since its a all in one.
Pros
  • comfy, easy to use
Cons
  • fabric pilled after first wash

Great, sturdy carseat
February 5, 2023
We love this car seat so far. It's a little heavier than other seats we looked at but it's so much easier to install and the weight gives me more confidence in safety and sturdiness, and it's still easy for me to move to a different car if needed. The material is soft and everything is well made. My little one is comfortable in it. Definitely recommend!

Got this one as a second car seat for our newborn& toddler. The leash seems to keep the child cool. Easy to install. Hoping it to last many years rear-facing and then use it as a booster seat.

The chair seems to be very comfortable for my grandson because he’s so relaxed, he falls asleep. His nap schedule is interrupted because he’s sleeping in the car. My grandson can feel safe and comfortable during his long distance travel to visit grandma.
Pros
  • Comfortable, relaxing
Cons
  • Heads tips forward when sleeping

Super Easy Installation
October 11, 2022
This seat is HEAVY but it feels very secure. We have a minivan, so lots of space, so I can’t speak on how it fits in smaller cars. But it does have multiple recline angles. The best feature is probably how easy it is to install it securely and correctly (make sure to read the entire manual, though!). I love the clicktight feature. Minus one star because the harness is harder to tighten than any of my other seats.

The best car seat!
September 14, 2022
I did a big research before I bought this car seat. Safety was as important for me as finding a product that does not contain toxic chemicals since my kiddo will be spending a lot of time in it. I am so glad I got this one! Worth every penny! It is so easy to install, specially for rare facing and my son is very comfortable in it! I love that covers are machine washable and that is why I don’t stres when my son gets it the car seat with muddy shoes on.
Pros
  • Easy to clean
  • Easy to install
  • Comfortable
  • Cup holders (dishwasher safe)
  • Soft fabric
  • Non toxic fabric
  • Flame retardant free
Cons
  • Might be to bulky for some cars

I LOVE this carseat. It is so easy to install. The material is great, sweat wicking with lots of air flow. The critch belt cushion is great easy to clip in and unclip. only downside it that it is heavier then others but that doesn't bother me as I'm not transfers this carseat and it stays in the vehicle.

Safe all in one seat
September 6, 2022
This is our third Britax Clicktight seat. We love it because it is reasonably easy to install properly (all carseats seem pretty difficult to install, so "reasonably easy" is about as good as it gets). It's a comfy seat for our preschooler. He is 4 and is still well within the rear facing weight limit. This plus the anti-rebound bar that we purchased separately are the best things that I think we can do for our son's safety riding in the car.

Perfect for tall child
September 5, 2022
This car seat was perfect for our child who is very tall for their age. We were concerned about having to move to forward facing and ultimately a booster too soon. The extended height and weight limits are excellent and we've found installation and use straightforward.

Best One By Far

We started with Britax B-Safe, Gen2 for infants, and realized once Iit was time to get a new one this was the only one we really needed. It’s easy to utilize, self-explanatory set-up, and a great product. Our son just turned and loves the comfort.

One of our absolute favorite Britax car seats
August 13, 2022
We've had several Britax and Chicco car seats/booster seats over the years. The one 4 life was probably my favorite. It's easy to install, easy to adjust, comfortable, and felt very secure in all of our vehicles. The only negative I would say would be cleaning the honeycomb bottom when someone throws up.

It's good
August 2, 2022
It seems comfortable for the baby and installs easily. It is fairly large and heavy. It doesn't fit in the middle seat of my Ford Focus, instead has to be installed behind the front passenger seat so the front seats do not rest on the carseat. Other than that, it's good.
Pros
  • looks comfortable, easy to install, cup holders
Cons
  • Its a bit large for smaller cars especially in the rear facing

Easy to install but not very comfortable for my toddler
August 1, 2022
The install was easy and we love that it’s rated highly for safety, but it seems like it might not be the most comfortable. My toddler grew out of the Nuna Pipa that she seemed comfortable in on road trips. When we switched her to the One4Life, it became harder for her to fall asleep, and she’d start readjusting herself if awake and start to cry. We’ve tried adjusting every aspect of the chair but it doesn’t seem to help. Its been 6 months using it rear facing and she has gotten more used to it but is still visibly uncomfortable. I’m hoping switching the seat to front facing when she hits the height limit will solve the problem. I see many other kids in reviews love the chair so maybe it’s just my daughter’s preference, but it is quite a noticeable difference for us.

Good quality seat with long period of use
July 1, 2022
We have used Britax seats for all three of ours kids and purchased this one for good friends to use with their first baby. Britax has amazingly safe products that are also nice to look at and easy to use. Our friends picked this one because it can continue to adjust for the car seat life of the child from infant up till belt-positioning booster. If this had been available when our youngest was born, we would probably have bought the same seat for our car!
Pros
  • High quality structural components
Best Uses
  • Permanent seat for car most used
Cons
  • Heavy and not easy to take in and out (would not be good for grandparents' car, for example)

Love this seat
June 20, 2022
Bought in 2020 after I needed to upgrade to a convertible carseat. I love how easy it is to install and it was highly recommended by many. My daughter used to get hot and be uncomfortable in her infant carseat and after I switched she didn't complain. I now have buy a new carseat for my second daughter and will be purchasing the same seat again! The only thing is that it is a bit hard to tighten but overall love the seat so just a small issue

The install is super easy, the straps are easily adjusted. Baby loves her new seat. She has plenty of room, the moisture wicking fabric and little air vents on the side seem to help her stay a little cooler as she is always hot in her car seat. She rides in center seat of the middle bench seat of my 2017 highlander and there’s enough space for someone on each side of her. The dual cup holders are awesome too

Excellent car seat
May 14, 2022
This is a great car seat. Roomy, comfortable, & safe. It is ridiculously easy to install (I thought Latch was easy, but this is easier! You just click the seat belt through it & it tightens automatically.) I did watch a YouTube video on how to use it, which I recommend doing instead of reading the manual. The car seat was delivered very quickly too!

Great carseat!
April 15, 2022
My son finally outgrew his Nuna Pipa RX that I loved dearly. I was really hesitant to go with another brand that wasn't Nuna for our next carseat. However, after seeing the similarities between this one and the Nuna Exec, I decided to go with the Britax. The height, weight and harness height limits are higher and my son has a tall torso. Also, I couldn't beat the price for needing to purchase two of them. The install was super easy (took 5 minutes). My only complaint is that it's heavy but that's nothing unexpected with it being an all-in-one carseat. Definitely recommend!

Safe and Sturdy
March 22, 2022
We purchased this when our baby outgrew his infant carrier. We ended up getting two of these carseats, one for each car. It was very simple to install and seems like it is made of high quality materials. Our son seems comfortable in this carseat. We have utilized both cup holders at once, one for a snack and one for his cup.
Pros
  • High quality, safe, comfortable.
Cons
  • Slightly large for sedans. I purchased this after seeing that it was recommended for small cars. However, we had to move the passenger seat forward in order to accommodate the seat in rear facing mode. We can still ride comfortably in the larger sedan as a front seat passenger. However, in a small sedan, it is almost impossible to fit a passenger in the front seat when used in rear facing mode.

Perfect convertible seat
March 16, 2022
We've only been using this car seat for a short while, but so far, it has been great. Super easy to install and seems very comfortable and safe. We actually put it on the floor in our living room for 2 days before installing so our daughter could sit in it and get used to it, and she thought that was really fun. Now, she loves going in the car. I love that this will become a booster seat, so I'll never have to research or buy another car seat related product every again!

We have been using this carseat for 2 years now. I LOVE how easy it is to install. It takes less than 5 minutes to transfer to another vehicle. I'm not crazy about how wobbly the headrest is, but it's very easy to clean, which has saved us several times after my son got sick in it.

Easiest Install! Longest Rear Facing!
February 7, 2022
I love this seat! It’s the easiest seat to install and my daughter loves it! This seat is shared between my parents and sisters car so I install it almost weekly. So easy, tight, and safe! Also a big perk that it lasts rear facing longer than others! Not as heavy to carry as others either!

Comfortable with some flaws
February 4, 2022
Large and very heavy, but we don’t move it often so it doesn’t bother us. The cup holders come off too easily (I’ve been blindsided by a cup holder the the head mid drive, thanks shady baby lol). The harness is harder to adjust than my prior Britax convertible car seat for some reason. Wish it would be easier to recline so my toddlers head wouldn’t bob as much during a nap. All in all pretty easy to take apart and wash and he seems comfortable when awake.
Pros
  • Easy to wash
  • Spacious
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Cup holders come off too easily
  • Click tight doesn?t seem as efficient as in other models
  • Recline should be easier

Favorite convertible so far!
January 29, 2022
We’ve only used this seat rear facing so far but it has been my favorite by far! It has fit amazingly in every car I’ve tried it in for my 1 year old and is super easy to install! The only downfall to the seat is how heavy it is but we don’t move seats around often so the weight doesn’t matter to us at all!

high quality, easy install, big
January 5, 2022
Overall I can't complain. This car seat is very solid, you can feel the quality and strength. I feel like if my car was totaled, this car seat would be the only thing left unharmed. Very comfortable for our baby. The washable cushions are really convenient. Install is a breeze. Only annoying thing is that it's HUGE. It takes up 1.5 seats in our car and I can no longer recline my seat as far back as I used to. Granted, this is dependent on the size of your vehicle.
Pros
  • Quality, it's like Sherman tank status protection for our child. Removable/ washable cushions, for the inevitable spills/ and spit-ups. Mega comfy, our daughter seems to really enjoy riding in it. Very easy install. I swear, you could throw this out of a plane mid flight and it wouldn't be damaged.
Best Uses
  • Protecting your child. Removing and re-installing in another car in less than 10 minutes.
Cons
  • Big, Takes up a lot of space. Heavy.

A fantastic option for your fast or slow growing (height and weight) child! The cup holder feature is fantastic and being able to stick to one seat for the duration of a child's growth into a normal vehicle seat just makes sense.
Pros
  • Ease of install
  • It's a marshmallow around the child
  • Cup holders
Cons
  • Straps can seem stiff to loosen or limited in looseness (probably a way to fix this within the seat)

Love this seat and it seems really comfortable for our toddler and younger baby. Only negative is that the straps are hard to tighten but not impossible. The install is SUPER east to accomplish appropriately but it is a heavy seat.
Pros
  • Easy install, comfortable for child, easily accessible cup holders
Best Uses
  • Best used if not transferred often just because of the weight but if the weight is not an issue the install is easy!
Cons
  • Hard to tighten harness, heavy and bulky

Worth every penny
October 12, 2021
Great seat, owned it 3 months now and my baby loves this seat. She's finicky about her surroundings, but loves being in this seat. Easy to install and user friendly. Construction is excellent and the aesthetic and ergonomic features are spot on. I own a Britax booster also for our toddler and can see why this brand is preferred by so many. I feel confident that my girls are not only safe, but comfortable every time we get in our vehicle, piece of mind like this doesn't have a dollar sign that could define it. Thank you Britax and thank you Albee for your high standards and excellent handling of products that help shape our young ones lives.
Pros
  • Confidence
  • Easy to use
  • Beautiful to look at
  • Known commodity
  • Worth its weight in gold
Best Uses
  • Safety and comfort of my baby
Cons

Heavy seat!
September 20, 2021
This is a nice car seat that is built well. But 2 things jump out to me. It is heavy! At 30 pounds it’s almost 10-12 pounds heavier than most car seats. It is not a. Seat you will want to transfer often. The other thing is it is a deep seat. My daughter is tall and was 8 months when we started using it but had she been a tiny baby I wonder if it would have made her sit weird like Too folded up and therefore uncomfortable. Because it is deep you have to make sure to pull all the slack out of the hips and tighten the straps well. I didn’t have it tight enough the first time I used it and there was a gap between the where the buckle sat(at her crotch) and her legs and she was able to get her leg up and stuck through the strap.
Pros
  • Nice seat, built well. The way it connects in the truck is easy- just lift the seat and bring buckle across. Which is nice since my husbands truck doesn?t have the latch system.
Cons
  • Kind of expensive
  • Heavy!
  • Deep seat
  • Hard to get my child in & out of in my husbands F350

It’s a wonderful seat. I had the infant shell seat for my daughter, when she grew I put that seat into storage and bought this one. She fit so well in this one, it’s very easy to install and she’s very comfortable in it. We just had our second so we ordered a purple one for our daughter and our son will use the black one when he outgrows the Britax infant seat.

Super comfy / sturdy, seems very safe

My son loves this car seat. It’s much more padded / cushioned than the last one we had for him, and adjusting the straps is straightforward. I love that it’s less toxic than most other car seats- definitely safer for our son. It’s expensive, but we definitely recommend it (plus it’ll last him 8 years- the extra money goes a long way).

Easy all around
August 13, 2021
Wow. I am a CPST (child passenger safety tech) and this is the easiest car seat to install that I’ve encountered. Just lift the panel, click the seat belt, close the panel. Done. And the harness is so easy to adjust for the kiddo too. The different webbing seems a little more sturdy, and doesn’t allow the chest clip to move on it’s own compared with regular harness/seat belt material. The no rethread harness is clutch, as it allows the perfect height as your kiddo grows, and is a simple handle adjustment. They also have the optional added safety feature of the anti-rebound bar for rear facing position. Plus, rear facing allows for 50#! My kid will max out the rear facing before I flip him forward, so he might be in kindergarten, but I’d rather save his brain if I can! The one downside is that it’s a bit heavy due to the Click Tight system (30#), but Britax even thought of that and put in a padded handle where you would carry it. We use this car seat for our extra caregivers (aunt, grandma, nanny) due to the reported ease of use, and no one has had a problem with getting a secure install. If I would have known it was this easy, I would have gotten it for my husbands vehicle too. Huge recommend.
Pros
  • Extremely easy to install to vehicle and to secure child. Rear facing 50#, optional anti-rebound bar. Carrying handle. Not super wide so fits easily in smaller cars (Honda Civic, Subaru Crosstrek, Volkswagen Jetta are what ours has been installed in). Plus it?s a 10 year seat and grows to high-back booster mode, so even though the price was not cheap, it pays for itself in the long run by not having to buy a separate booster or forward facing seat.
Best Uses
  • If you have a seat that will be taken out and installed multiple times, this is it. This goes to our nanny, auntie, grandma, and dad?s vehicle when that one has been soaked with pee 🤪.
Cons
  • ClickTight system adds weight, so the 30# is a little bulky to haul, but they added a carry handle to account for that extra weight, which I?ve never seen on other car seats.
