Happy with my purchase!
June 15, 2017
My daughter loves her new pink seat! The seat seems very good quality and is everything I expected out of a Britax seat. I was a little surprised that it was harder to get a tight installation with the seatbelt than my other Britax seat (Marathon)... but I did not want to shell out the extra money for the Clicktight version, considering I will not be installing this seat very often. I would definitely make the same purchase again. Albee Baby's shipping was super fast, and you cannot find better prices anywhere!

My kid just turned 2 & loves his new seat. It fits great in our Tundra w/ the access cab, which is what we were looking for. Also, it was easy to assemble; my husband had it set up in the truck within 10 minutes. Great seat for the price!

great booster seat.
May 1, 2017
This is one of the best booster seats you can buy. The straps are generously long for a pretty large child. I bought another brand that is nice but those straps do not fit a child over 60 lbs even though it says it will. It is good quality, user friendly, my 5 yr old granddaughter can fasten and unfasten herself. She enjoys the cup holders and comfort too. The slight recline allows for napping without the head falling forward. Highly recommend it.
Pros
  • long belts
Cons
  • it's heavy to carry to your car.

Britax pioneer
April 30, 2017
We love this car seat! We are sure that our 5 year old is safe with the 5 point harness and adjustable head support that grows with him. The quality of this seat and all britax seats is easily seen and felt. When he's ready, we can tuck the harness straps and use the seat as a booster. We have one in each vehicle, but this seat is also easily moved if another family members takes my son for a ride in their vehicle.
Pros
  • My son and buckle the 5 point harness on his own, easily adjustable head support, easily transports from vehicle to vehicle, easily transforms to booster seat, fairly slim and takes up much less room than a convertible seat.
Cons
  • A little heavy at the base. I see this as a positive also as I know my son's seat is secured.

Just what we needed
April 21, 2017
We just got our Pioneer a couple few ago - my daughter loves it! She actually hugged it at preschool dropoff for the first week:) We already loved the Britax brand, having used a Marathon car seat, but I did take advantage of the detailed Albee reviews to read up on Recaro and a couple other brands. So glad I got this one - amazing quality for the price, installation was easy (typical of Britax). I like the built in cup holders on either side, it makes life easier since as a parent/chauffeur you're always handing drinks or snacks back and forth:) A friend had given us a "big kid" booster without the back, and it was clear she was ready for a bigger seat but I wasn't comfortable without the five point harness. We went on day trip to the beach a week after we got it, and it made the long ride a happy one: I felt completely at ease, and my daughter felt like a "big girl:)" Win-win. I wish I had known about this site four years ago!
Pros
  • easy to install, great quality, easily adjustable, comfortable, kid-friendly design

Quality booster
April 13, 2017
This is the second Pioneer booster I purchased because of the 5-point harness and quality. This booster is easy to install and use. The cup holders come in handy for cups, small toys, and other items. My son fits comfortably and still takes a nap while riding.

Awesome seat, great price
April 13, 2017
I knew I wanted Britax and was looking for the best deal I could find. If you can't spring for the Frontier, this is the next best thing. The seat and straps are very comfortable and secure. It was easy to install. The fabric is soft and easy to clean. We took a 6 hour trip right after we got the new seat and my son slept for 3 hours straight, without getting slumped over or bobbing his head. You could tell he was so much more comfortable in this seat than he was in our old Evenflo. I'm very happy with this seat!

Great forward facing seat
April 9, 2017
My 4 year old was really close to outgrowing her Britax Roundabout in her grandmas car, so we passed one of her other seats to her grandma and got the Pioneer for my husband's car. It's a great seat. I had no problems installing it, she can climb in to the seat much more easily than the forward facing convertible. She loves the color and the cup holders. I think it makes her feel like a big kid. We do also have a Graco Tranzitions and I definitely prefer the Pioneer.
Pros
  • Cup holders
  • Sturdy
  • Well padded
  • Good color choices
Best Uses
  • For preschoolers
Cons
  • No lock offs

ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SEAT!!!!!
March 31, 2017
I looked for a long time before I bought a seat for my 6 year old. She was in a regular seat with a 5 point harness and she needed a new seat for her height! This seat is amazing!!!! My daughter loves it and I do too!!!! The price was extremely affordable and it has all the bells and whistles that you should be looking for in a 5 point harness-to-booster seat!!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SEAT! Thanks Britax and Albee Baby!!!!
Pros
  • Comfortable, super easy to install, easy to clean fabric
Best Uses
  • for a child that needs a booster but isn't quite ready for the seat belt booster yet you don't want to have to buy ANOTHER seat when they are ready!!

This is perfect for my tall 2 year old.
March 23, 2017
We were using the Alpha Omega Elite and my 2 year old is above the 99% in height, being 42" tall already. The Alpha was fitting so tight and she looked so big in it. The Britax Pioneer is perfect. She actually looks small in the seat and she has stated that she likes the way her new bigger car seat feels. Now I can have the piece of mind that she is in a 5 point harness still and not being forced to put her in a regular booster mode with a seat belt. It was very easy to install and it is so much easier to get her in her seat. It was wonderful finding the seat on sale. I also like the fact it has the new latch system where you push a button to latch and release. That was nice.
Pros
  • Easy to install, made for tall children, Toddler stated the seat was comfortable.
Best Uses
  • Toddler over 2 years old.

Britax Lifer
January 27, 2017
Like most moms, I research the heck out of every decision related to my girls. When my 6 year olds Britax marathon was about to expire, I started looking for a harness to booster because she actually loves the safety factor of the harness (I know, rare but she's my safety first girl). I looked hard at a Graco and ultimately trusted my gut and went with the pioneer and am so glad I did! My daughter loves it and I take comfort knowing it's a brand that is highly regarded and has served my family well since the beginning (for both my 6 and 3 year old).
Pros
  • Dual cup holders
  • Harness for safety freaks like me
  • Cute Coral color
Cons
  • None so far!

We originally bought this car seat as a second car seat and it quickly became our main one! The only thing that's kind of a pain in the butt is getting a sight seat with how the seat belt lays legging the padding. My husband and I tackled it together and got it perfectly! Other than that it's great

Great Car Seat, Toddler Loves it
January 23, 2017
My toddler loves this car seat. My only complaints are that it's tough to get the straps pulled tight, and unless you really yank on it, they will be too loose. It's also hard to install in vehicles since it doesn't have the click connectors... not a big deal if you are only using it in one car. If you're moving it between vehicles often, I'd recommend paying the extra money and getting one with the latch connectors.

Best price for the Britax Pioneer G1.1 I could find anywhere by a significant margin. Shipping might have been a day or two faster from some of the more expensive options, but shipping was free. It arrived as advertised, and pretty quickly (3-4 days from the day I placed the order). What more do you want?

I bought this as a second car seat in my other car and it's been great. I also have the Frontier click tight. I love that more because the installation is so easy and it doesn't budge but I didn't want to pay for another one. This is basically the same seat but at a lower price. My son seems to like it just fine.

We bought this as a 3rd car seat & my son loves it so much we're going to purchase a 2nd one. Then the out car seat will just be the 3rd (extra). He can see well, sits up tall, cup holders are great! I feel it is just as safe as his old one which also has the 5 point harness.

Always a good choice.
December 12, 2016
Britax has been my first choice always. Before my first born I had done my research and was exceptionally satisfied with my selected car seat. They are impact tested with higher speed limits than the USA and made with the safety of our little ones in mind. I was pleased to find this car seat to upgrade to at such a reasonable price. Typically Britax has been a bit more pricey than others, but I have no more to say other than it is worth every penny for the safety of our little ones. I would absolutely recommend this car seat along with all of their other ones. Britax will always be my first choice!
Pros
  • Built well, five star ratings, little ones love Britax car seats, five point harness, beautiful color, and it's convertible for different weight/heights.
Best Uses
  • Durability, structure, safety, and comfortably to little ones.

This car seat/booster is perfect for my 5 year old son. He is still using the 5 point harness but will soon graduate to the seat belt booster. After much research I feel he is safest in a high back booster. Definitely recommend all of Britax car seats. Been using them for years.

Pay more $ for peace of mind
August 18, 2016
We have always had Britax for our son. First, the Bsafe which clicked in, next the convertible click tight which just clicked in. When purchasing this harness to booster seat for my husbands truck I wanted to save a little bit of money so I went with this lower model. I could not get it to properly instal. It wouldn't stay secure on the seat and would move well past the one inch marks allowed, basically flopping all over the place. Rather than messing with it another day, we just bit the shipping bill and spent the extra money to get the click tight version and it has been great! Def. recommend spending the extra money and going with something you know is properly installed every time.

saved money on this purchase and got a fabulous product. the only thing i wish was different was that it should have come with the anchor strap, instead I have to order that separately or use the cars seatbelt to secure the seat.

Fantastic seat
July 16, 2016
I bought this for my 38 pound 6 year old. I still have her in the 5 point harness but will move to a seat belt when she weighs a little more. A complaint I had with other boosters was that the seat was hard and my older child complained about them hurting her bottom. This one is not like that. There is plenty of cushion. This seat is well built and I feel my child is safe in it. Very pretty too!
Pros
  • Comfort
Cons
  • Maybe a little hard to install

I purchased 2 of these booster seats and they arrived 3 days later. The seats install relatively easy and the straps tighten easier than my old Britax car seats. They are still a little hard to tighten which is a little frustrating, but nowhere as hard as the old seat. It's a sturdy booster seat that looks sharp. My son loves the built-in cup holders.
