Britax Regent - Onyx Booster Car Seat

This car seat is built like a tank! It weighs about 30lbs, so it is not for the light of heart. It is quite comfortable for our 3 year old that we purcahsed it for. We have an SUV and between our 2 boys car seats no one can sit in the middle any more due to the size of this. However, I would not hesitate to purchase another one and I will very soon.

If you have a small car, check the dimensions on this car seat first. I am not saying it will not fit, but I would just make sure it will fit the car you are trying to put it in. I have read about people that just think it is way to big. We, however, love it!

We purchased this car seat because it is proported to be the safest in its class. It is definately built tough.

As I tell my 2 children, you have to take steps to stay safe the car every single time you ride because you can't control what other drivers may do.

With that said, it is so important to keep children in a 5 pt harness for as along as possible. In crash tests, children in a 5pt fair better than those in boosters. Children who are thin or have medical conditions (like my son), it becaomes even more important to protect those fragile bodies.)

This seat has a higher weight limit, is fairly easy to install (read the directions FIRST) and has plenty of comfortable safety features. Britax performs rigorous safety tests on their items, is excellent about sending recall or safety information (PLEASE ALWAYS REGISTER YOU CARSEATS) and ordering replacement parts from their website is an added plus.

If you are looking for a seat with a higher weight limit, easy to use and comfortable for your child, you won't be disappointed with this seat.

One more piece of advice...make sure the carseat fits before you buy it. Places like Babies R US allow you to take the floor model out to your car to see if it will fit before you purchase it.
