Heavy, but great seat
June 27, 2020
This seat is heavy, but most Britax seats are, due to the steel frames. I liked this seat, but it could use more cushion.

Great Seat
June 10, 2020
We do love this seat. It’s easy to install in our Dodge Caravan and Mazda 3. I have not been able to get a good install in our F150 super crew which is ok because I just use it in the van.

Great booster
February 19, 2020
This booster was easy to install and fits great in a multitude of car models. Held up in a rear-end car crash (though had to be replaced due to car seats only being good for one accident)
Pros
  • Easy to install
  • Comfortable

Safe Seat
February 12, 2020
We have used this with the 5pt harness feature for the last 2 years for my son (age 8 now, but small for his age). Seat is safe which is the #1 priority. Easy for him to get in and out of. Cupholders are great, they do not detach so no issues with them coming off. Only slight complaint is the headrest makes some noise when he is not in the seat, if you google the issue there are suggestions to helping stop the noise that work very well. Overall very pleased.

Great harness booster
January 23, 2020
My son outgrew his five point harness car seat so we purchased this booster. It came earlier as expected. It’s cute, easy to install, and my son loves it. It’s more spacious and has cup holders. It’s also got exceptional safety ratings. Would def recommend!

Everything we've come to expect from a great brand!
December 15, 2019
The car seat is well made and stands up to tough toddlers! No car seat is easy to uninstall and pull apart for washing, but this one is as easy as it can be. The cupholders are great and I wish our previous Britax seats (for earlier stages) had come with holders like these.
Pros
  • Sturdy construction
  • Good quality

Cheap model
December 9, 2019
We always buy Britax and got this as a Black Friday deal. If it wasn’t so large I would have returned it. It’s not the quality I’ve grown accustomed to with Britax. It seems cheap. The straps are rough and not the smooth, nice straps in the marathon and pavilion seats I have. It’s hard to get a tight fit in the car (and yes my seat belts lock and I followed the instructions exactly). It does “fit” according to the specs in the manual but just not as snug as I’d like. I would not purchase it again. Spend the extra money and get the more expensive one.
Pros
  • Decent price

Great seat for older toddler - school age
September 25, 2019
We bought one of these seats for my son when he was 3 and we’re still using it at 7. He uses it with a seatbelt now. It was time to get a new seat for my big 2.5 year old and the other seats I researched did not compare. They didn’t recline, didn’t have arm rests, no cup holders, or didn’t offer enough padding. This seat has it all. It’s a comfortable ride for both of my kids and will give them room to grow. I also feel the design of the seat will keep my kids safe.

Britax Pioneer - Great Booster
August 23, 2019
The Pioneer is awesome. This seat may not have as many bells and whistles as Frontier or Pinnacle (no click tight) but it’s a great seat for a great price point. Love the built in cup holders, and the fact that it can be used for both harness mode and booster so it will last longer. I like that you can use LATCH to keep the seat in place once child is in booster mode (so the seat doesn’t move around if/when you’re driving without the child in the car) ...also, I don’t like the gray rubber thingies that come on Frontier/Pinnacle straps. Pioneer does NOT have them so that’s a good thing in my opinion.

The last car seat I’ll ever need to buy!
June 28, 2019
I’m very happy with this harnessed booster seat, I bought 2 others before this elsewhere and ended up returning both because I was so unimpressed with the quality and safety. I love that this seat can still be hooked up using the latch system, the way it connects to the back of the seat is also very unique and it’s nice not having to try and squeeze the buckle in the small space under the headrest. I feel like my daughter is very safe in this seat, it’s going to grow with her and color/print is adorable.
Pros
  • Booster seat that attaches to the vehicle using the latch system
  • Grows with child
  • The material is soft and comfortable, doesn?t retain much heat so even if the car is hot from sitting in Florida sunshine the seat doesn?t feel hot to my daughters skin
Best Uses
  • My daughter is 4, 38 pounds and 44 inches and this seat is perfect for her
Cons
  • Small spot on the top back of the backrest where styrofoam is visible but it?s only noticeable when the seat isn?t installed. Doesn?t affect quality or safety so a non-issue

We love this Britax car seat! Super comfortable and sturdy when installed. We have 3 cars and always struggles when we have to switch cars and the carseats. This one is easy to unlacth and re-buckle. We prefer this eat over the Graco Nautilus or similar as it is extremely easy to use and install and we have always been able to get a solid install in various vehicles.

I was looking to a new carseat after my boy turned 3 1/2 and this one matched the quality and price I was looking for. Very easy to install, with latches and with the belt. 2 cups holder are very useful, but more important, it has all the safety feature I was looking for!!!! I will buy another one when the time comes for my 1 1/2 year old boy! Giacomo

Great transition booster
April 14, 2019
Previously had the Britax Marathon convertible car seat and wanted to step it up to a booster. My kid is 40lbs and 42 inches tall at almost 5 yo. Things I wanted and got with this booster: Latch connection, harness, cup holders, removable seat cover, and the Britax engineering. I decided to forgo the click tight since I did not plan to ever take this booster out of my car. I wanted to keep the 5pt harness for the safety and my kid could buckle herself in and out the convertible and could easily do the same here.

Britax Pioneer is amazing!
January 22, 2019
I ordered the Britax Pioneer for my 6 year old son because I feel safer knowing he is in a 5-point harness. He is on the small side at 37lbs and 43” tall. I did so much research and ultimatly chose this one. I was skeptical at first because there were quite a bit of negative reviews about the seat not being secure with the lapbelt. I installed the seat with ease and it is very secure. It fits perfectly in my 2015 Honda Odyssey with leather seats. Shipping was also very fast. Do not hesitate to save some cash and get the Pioneer!

Good seat, second time buying it
January 12, 2019
My older child has this same seat in another color. It is very easy to install. We bought the other one several years ago and it is still going strong. It was an easy decision for the second child. It is very heavy compared to say, Graco Nautilus or Argo, but easier to install and tighten and fits for a longer period of time. It is also not quite as wide, which is nice for a person with a narrower car. I prefer Britax car seats and have owned several others.

I wanted to get this seat for the longest time. I've got a tall heavy boy (47 pounds / 46 inches) he was in a Diono but he was so cramped up.
Pros
  • I love the recline option, that keeps his head from slumping forward if he falls asleep. Cup holders are great. Sturdy feel all around.
Cons
  • Con(for some prople): This is a big seat, you can't put another seat next to it (at least not in the Toyota Highlander.)

Best car seat!
September 8, 2018
I had been looking at this car seat and several other seats similar to it. I have always heard good things about this brand but have never owned one. I finally bit the bullet during the sale and bought it for my 2 yr old. I absolutely LOVE it! It is a tad bit heavy but I can deal with that to have a good quality and safe car seat. My son is a little bigger than your average 2 yr old and this seat has so much room. The first time he rode in he could t stop telling me how comfy it was. I won’t have to buy another seat this one will grow with him. Super easy to install also.

It’s better than graco but not as great as clicktight
September 4, 2018
This seat fits our needs but I do not like to move it from car to car. It’s not heavy but getting the chair tight in the seat takes some work. I should have spent a little more and got the click tight version. It’s way easier. I still gave this seat 4 stars because it is a good seat and my daughter loves the cup holders and arm rests.
Pros
  • Cup holder and arm rests
  • Not as heavy as convertible seats
Best Uses
  • When it stays in the same seat and ou don?t have to move it from car to car daily
Cons
  • It?s not clicktight but that?s not the chairs fault it?s mine for not buying the correct version

I bought this seat to have in my car for my grandson. I'm familiar with Britax car seats in general, as I had purchased 2 previously for my son and daughter in law that have been in use for a while now, and are great. I actually installed this myself, and unlike other users, found absolutely no issues with the process. Other than the weight of getting it into the house after delivery, and then into the car, it was very easy. And thank goodness for the weight as it is definitely a very sturdy and protective seat. I would highly recommend this to other grandparents and parents

Another top quality seat from Britax
August 17, 2018
Britax quality was quite evident in this seat. The metal frame makes it heavier than some, but the added security is worth it. Overall construction is top notch. The push button latches make hooking to the seat anchors easy. With two grandchildren to transport, this makes Britax seat nbr. 2, and the quality of the first seat is what sold us on buying this seat.
Pros
  • High quality construction for maximum security and usable for 9 years.
Cons
  • Directions a little difficult to understand, but a phone call to customer service solved the problem.

We are on Britax car seat #3 (B-safe, marathon, now this). We buy 2 each time so that I have one and my husband has one. Have never had issues. My 4 year old loves his new booster seat. I wanted a booster with the harness for added safety. He’s not yet 40 pounds so we’ll continue using the harness until he’s too big - he’s always had a harness so doesn’t know any different. :) He says it’s very comfortable. It’s super easy to install. We always use the tether. It doesn’t budge. Ordering was easy and shipping was very fast! Highly recommend this site and this booster.
