britax youth car seat

1. Posted: Aug 27 2008

   I bought this for my 4 year old because I wanted him in a 5 point harness that he could use as he continues to grow. It is very comfortable for him and I feel very secure having him in it.

   This seat is big, but it fits in my Subaru Outback. My son wasn't big enough for a booster, but he was too tall for his other Britax. I feel safe having him in the 5 point harness and he loves his seat. It was easy to put in, but it is heavy so I wouldn't want to keep moving it from car to car.

   Britax Regent Youth Car Seat Onyx I bought this car seat for my son when my daughter outgrew her baby seat and moved into his convertible car seat. It is quite heavy, but easy to install and adjust! My son is so comfortable in it, he often complains when riding in my husbands car that he misses his other seat in Mommy's car!!! Not just for bigger children. My son is on the small side and he will be able to use this seat until he's ready for a seatbelt. It's much safer than a booster!

   This is my second Regent. My children and I were in an accident earlier this year that left my son and I bruised and sore. We are both still under doctors care. My daughter, who was in her Regent, had her shoes knocked off her feet, but did not have a bruise on her. This car seat functioned wonderfully, and I immediately replaced the wrecked one with the same car seat.

   This is a great car seat, but installing it was very difficult. It required me calling Britax. They were helpful, but it still takes 2 adults to install and I still cannot get it completely tight like the Marathon. My daughter loves the seat and it is very comfortable for her. I have a Honda Accord and I would not put it in anything smaller.

   Heavy to handle, so don't plan on moving this seat from one car to another. Provides the peace of mind my wife and I were looking for to keep our children safe while traveling. Wider than average car seat; may not fit adjacent to another car seat. We have a 98 4-Runner, so there's room for two with a little space in between them. We will purchase for the younger daughter soon. Best price ($216) through Amazon vs. direct from Amazon partner. Shipping extra, but reasonable.

   The Britax Regent, is certainly a wonderful, expensive, large car seat. Having said that, it is the safest car seat out in the market aside from the Sunshine Kids car seat for children over 40 plus pounds. When searching for car seats, I was not aware of the importance of having a child in a 5 point harness for as long as possible until I read a story of a four yearl old boy who lost his life while seated in a booster seat. Studies show, that it is beneficial to have your children in a five point harness for as long as possible. The price of this seat is hefty but nothing compares to having the peace of mind and security that your child is in the best seat available. The seat itself is large, too large for that matter- but it sure does look and feel cozy and safe. We bought a 2008 highlander and could barely stretch out the seatbelt to accommodate this car seat. So be warned! I personally would buy another one for our Echo- if the car was a little larger- for now, our only choice is the Sunshine Kids and Britax for our SUV.

   I love the Britax line and really liked this seat but the base was to wide for our car. We had to return it for a smaller seat. The harness was easy to use and my daughter liked the feel but the base was to wide for our 2004 Jetta. We went with the Recaro Youth sport and love it.

   I notice that without the recline bar the booster seat will not rest flat on the vehicles seat. My daughter is 40pounds and she outgrew her original Britax Marathon harness height limit. She love her new car seat. The base is huge so it is more stable for my daughter's weight. There are enough room for both her arm or when she is reading books in the car. It is a very good quality car seat and for many years I have trusted Britax products. It is heavy and you might need assistance during installation. The only cons is that it is expensive, it cost double the price of other brands.
