So far my son loves it. Easy to install and adjust. Reclines enough that my son can relax and if he falls asleep he will be in a good posotion.

Well made carseat
December 25, 2015
It is very well maid and easy to install and use. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles which makes it very easy to use. The harness is very easy to use. My 3 yr old can get himself in and out of the belt. I just have to buckle and unbuckle for him.
Pros
  • Easy belt adjustment.
Cons
  • A little heavy to carry through the airport.

Nice Seat
September 2, 2015
So far so good! We purchased this car seat for my daughter because she was close to outgrowing her Britax Marathon. We liked that it came in pink (daughter was very excited). AlbeeBaby price was by far the best. The seat arrived quickly and the package was in good condition. I cannot speak to the seatbelt installation because my daughter is within the weight limit required for the LATCH installation, although that will change soon. My daughter loves the cup holders and has been able to fall asleep in the seat. It's easy for her to get in and out of. My only complaint is that, like many before me found, it is a little difficult to tighten. I tried a Frontier in a store and it was even worse, I'm not sure why or how Britax can remedy that. For now, we really like this seat and would recommend to others.

This car seat has been great so far! The only issue we have experienced is loosening the straps. I read that it is tough in other reviews and it has been a challenge for us as well.

Overall great booster!

My daughter is comfortable in her new booster. It looks great and the cup holders are nice. My only complaint is that it can be tricky to tighten the harness just right. You learn to deal however. Still would buy and recommend to a friend.

Already Bought a 2nd one!
August 5, 2015
I bought one of these boosters for my 4.5 year old and she loves it! She is so much more comfortable in this carseat. We are a Britax family and even though she could still be using the Marathon or Boulevard due to her size, she was feeling cramped. The color is a brilliant coral. Looks very close to the picture shown on the website. We actually just bought a 2nd one and it will be here Friday. I love that she can have the safety of a 5 point harness while being in her "big girl" chair. We bought the blue one for our other car. Can't wait to see it!

Awesome All-in-one
July 16, 2015
We love this seat. It is easy to install, has a slim design so you can fit multiple seats in your vehicle, and goes from a 5 point harness to seat belt to booster. My daughter loves it. The cup holders are an added bonus.
Pros
  • Easy to install, converts and grows with your child, cup holders.
Cons
  • A bit heavy but not so much that I would not recommend.

I am still waiting for my shipment... Bottom line: same price on diapers.com and I would have had the car seat yesterday and my tracking number from Albee baby doesn't have it arriving for three more days... Disappointing.

Just one small flaw
June 24, 2015
We ordered two of these for our 4.5 year old a couple of weeks ago. We were able to install them in each of our cars (a Honda Pilot and a Toyota Avalon) fairly easily. It took my husband maybe 20 minutes to install each one, and he was able to tighten them without issue, which I know was a complaint from some. My daughter absolutely loves her new seat, especially the cup holder and the fact that it's pink. I haven't noticed that it rattles or is noisy when she's not in it (another common complaint I read). The only complaint I have, and I realize it's minor, is that after I buckle her in, I have a hard time tightening the harness. The pull strap used to tighten it is really hard to pull. It takes me quite a bit more effort to tighten the harness than it ever did with our Roundabout or Marathon. I'm hoping it will get a bit easier with more use. Other than that one small thing, the seat has been great!

You Can't go wrong
June 5, 2015
My daughter has been in Britax car seat since she was born, so when it came time to transition her to a booster seat, I didn't even shop around. I am a loyal Britax fan and that's what we got. She loves her new seat, of course it helps that it's pink :) I feel safe and comfortable having her in it. It is secure and safe. The back metal support to the seat is a big selling point for me. I highly recommend this seat and any Britax seat.
Pros
  • Everything!

May 11, 2015
Just bought this for my 6 year old. We have always been a Britax family so when it came time to getting her a booster I knew I wanted to continue with this brand. I love that I can still use the 5 point harness with her since she only weighs a little over 40 lbs., but still have the option of using the seatbelt when she gets older. We love the color and she loves the cup holders. My only complaint is that she sometimes still falls asleep in the car and it doesn't support her head like her old car seat did. Overall I am very happy with it and will be getting my 3 year old one when it is her turn to be in a booster too.

Great Seat. My son loves it!
April 25, 2015
Moved from a baby seat to this as a booster seat. My son loves it cause he is a "big" boy now and I love it cause it's a great, heavy duty seat. This seat is solid and very well built. All of my car seats are britax.
Pros
  • Well built. Heavy duty. Easy to use.
Cons
  • A little bit of a chore to tear it apart and clean it. But it's worth it because it is such a high quality seat.

Very nice seat
March 26, 2015
I really was impressed when I first took the seat out if the box. It's very sturdy and quite heavy! You probably would not want this to be a seat you have to move around a lot. LOVE the placement of the TWO cupholders and the fact the you can recline the seat a little is so nice if the child wants to sleep. I wish the arm rests moved up and down to make it easier to get in and out. My less expensive Safety First model has that feature and it is nice. It was a trade off though for the nicer cup holders. All in all a great seat. A little pricey but seems super safe & sturdy. Love the color & fabric too

I have had the product two weeks. I bought it for my four and a half year old. She got too tall for her old britax car seat but I don't want her in a booster seat and seat belt. I feel she would be safer in the 5 point harness. She seems to be comfortable. It is more difficult to tighten the straps but if I reach behind first and pull there it works fine. I love the independent LATCH system on the old britax car seat and this seat has one strap so it was more difficult to tighten. Still it seems to be a good car seat.

My 4 1/2 yr old loves her new car seat. I love the built in cup holders and the main reason I bought this one over another britax booster was the harness this one has. I love knowing she's extra safe with the harness until she's ready for a shoulder belt. Overall we are very happy with the new seat. We love Britax and will use them all the way!
Cons
  • Seat is heavy

Great transition seat!
March 16, 2015
My daughter loves this seat and we do too! It's a great transition seat! In our case we have a new little one so we were passing along the seat that will still rear face to the littlest one and opted to get our big girl a seat that will transition into a booster when the times comes. She loves the arm rests and the cup holders.

This is the first booster-like car seat we've bought and we love it! My parents bought a cheaper one and we're so glad that we spent the extra money on this one. We love that it can recline so our child can sleep in it easily without all of the head bobbing. Our child likes it too...the 2 cups holders are great and it's easy for her to get in and out of also. We'd definitely buy this one again.

My son loves his "big boy" car seat. This is our 4th Britax car seat and I won't buy another brand. They are easy to install, safe, secure and convertible. I currently have three car seats in our car and they fit perfectly. I feel very safe putting my children in the Britax car seats.
Pros
  • Easy to install
  • Secure once installed
  • Convertible to booster
  • Easy to care for
  • Lightweight

Great seat
March 4, 2015
Easy to install. It feels very sturdy and secure. The cup holders fit larger insulated cups that my old seat would not. Very easy to adjust the height. I would never buy another brand of childseat after using this. By far the best seat I have purchased. You get what you pay for. This may be a little higher priced but it is well worth it.
Pros
  • Very sturdy and well constructed. Easy to adjust the height.
Best Uses
  • In a car?
Cons
  • None

We bought two of these seats for our 3 year old daughter. She was so excited she had to try them out before she'd let us install them. They were very easy to install and our daughter enjoys them very much. The pattern is nicer in person - more subtle looking. The cup holders are fantastic and hold her larger water bottle.

Another great Britax seat!
January 28, 2015
This is our second Britax car seat. The first was a Pavilion convertible car seat, which I loved, but now that my daughter is going to be a big sister, we decided to move her to a booster. I love that the Pioneer is a harness-2-booster seat. It keeps her secure and it grows with her. It was a little tricky to install with the latches and top anchor, but that could just be my fault--I've never been good at installing these things. (Don't worry! I always have my hubby double check it for me.) The seat is a pretty pink color that my daughter loves. And it seems really comfortable for me. It's easier to get her in and out of this seat than the convertible seat, but I wish the arms collapsed so she could get herself into the seat. The built-in drink holders are convenient. The seat is fairly easy to wipe clean. Overall, I think this is a great buy! Good price for a quality Britax seat!
Pros
  • Comfortable, two built-in cup holders, bright color, side impact protection, adjustable headrest, harness-2-booster
Cons
  • Armrests don't collapse for easy entry & exit.

This is a very sturdy car seat. My daughter likes the two cup holders and is able to get in/out of it easily. The Pacifica color is a bit denim-ish, which I wasn't expecting and don't particularly care for, but otherwise I'm happy with the seat.
Pros
  • Sturdy
Cons
  • Color, heavy

Awesome booster
January 21, 2015
My five year old wanted to move into a booster but is still only a little over 30 pounds. I got this booster so he can use the five point harness but still be in a "big kid" booster. I love that I can get it attached so snugly in using the latch system. So easy to do and feels super secure. He loves the green color and the two cup holders. It was easy to adjust the head piece. Overall, a great booster!

The car seat feels very well made. It is on the heavier side, but it's not the type of car seat that was made to be carried. I wish it had a locking system for the shoulder seatbelt.

Excellent Car Seat for 4 old year
January 7, 2015
We upgraded from a Graco car seat that we had for 3 years. The Pioneer was a huge upgrade, safer, much easier to install, and the price was comparable to " our Graco. The one complaint I had were that the instructions were not well written. Easy enough just search YouTube for instruction videos, and you will have a them ready to ride in no time!

Easy to use, comfortable, great fabric
December 11, 2014
This seat was the upgrade to our old Britax Marathon. The lower profile helps with getting in/out! It has the same lower anchor/upper tether that we are used to, so it is easy to install (but it can be used with the seatbelt, instead). This seat is heavy, so be careful transferring it from car to car.The fabric is nice too, easy for kid to get situated ("stickier" fabrics make it hard for kid to move.) We like how this one reclines slightly... our 4 yr old still falls asleep in the car. Great price on Albee - they are wonderful to work with.
