This car seat is the best infant car seat I’ve ever had. The biggest plus has to be the automatic strap and headrest adjuster, being safety conscious this is fantastic. The extended life for this seat is also a huge plus. The padding is fantastic for both newborn and non newborn phase. The tilt is great no floppy head while in the car. The integrated sun shade is just another example of a superior Mumof5 · argos.co.uk

This is our first time buying this brand and I wish we hadn't waited so long. The quality of Britax is just as good as the more expensive brands we were convinced to buy. This car seat is really top-notch. I really like the ClickTight feature. It gives us peace of mind knowing the car seat is installed correctly. It's also really easy to install. The fabric is really soft and cushioned. Our little macrobaby.com
