The only car seat on the market that you don't need a bae for! This seat looks luxury, feels fantastic and is of a really high quality. It easily clicks in and out of the isofix points and you do not need a clunky base, making it so much easier between vehicles! I have already recommended this seat to lots of people and will continue to! Rosie · johnlewis.com

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
