we purchased this seat for my 22 month old daughter about a year ago (pre-latch design) and it has got to be the most sturdy carseat i've ever installed.
i am a mother of 3(almost 4) and i have to fit 3 car seats in the back of my car.with this car seat its easy to get the twins in and it alows room in the middle for my 2 year old to be comfortable in
we loved this seat so much, but our 3-year old daughter outgrew it at 33 pounds.
i told my husband that maybe he does not like his car seat, which i had used previously for my 3 year old and he loved it, but my husband dismissed it.
i have never had second thoughts about it since i felt how soft the material was and how sturdy the seat stayed in the car.
knowing you put your child in a safe & well built car seat is worth every extra dollar you will spend on this seat!
i have a 1 and 2 year old boys, so i bought two and they love it.
it is not a convertible seat in that sense- just forward-facing for infants who meet the minimums and toddlers.
this is a very sturdy seat.
the side impact molding is surprisingly hard and sturdy and i feel so secure knowing that her head and body are protected.
even before i put it in the car my 15 month old son just wanted to sit in it and feel the soft material.
we loved this seat so much we just ordered our second one from this site this seat is really durable, it is easy to take appart to clean the fabric, we have the dark grey so it hides minor spills
it's a great seat, solid construction, and fits in my toyota and vw perfectly.
its a very sturdy seat and we are happy with it.
finally, the chest clip seems a little less sturdy than the chicco seat we had,(which is why we rated a 4 instead of 5) but it clasps well, so as long as it doesn't break it should be fine.
bottom line: this booster has exceptionally fullfilled all these criteria plus my 3 year old son just loves it and when he falls asleep, he can rest his head on either supportive sides which is great.
it seems comfortable and sturdy and easy to adust and install.
it is very sturdy and easy to install.
i didn't see either of them in-person, but chose them based on reviews from amazon, the toddler bargains book and a friend's recommendation.
i ordered two of the compass booster seats for my 3 year old daughter.
strengths: built like a tank weaknesses: price summary: we received this car seat in the mail today.
this carseat is extremely comfortable and safe for my 15 month old son.
i really like this seat, it feels safe, is sturdy and well reinforced.
we have a britax for our son as well (he has used it from infant to toddler) so we knew we wanted another one for the baby girl when she outgrew her infant carrier.
she was quickly outgrowing (lengthwise) her graco infant seat and we felt uncomfortable transitioning her to a toddler seat until she was at least 20lbs.
the first time we put the new car seat in the car (we have a 4 door civic & a chevy avalanche - the car seat fit well in both cars) it looked very sturdy, although my husband did have a heck of a
this car seat is excellent for taller toddlers and preschoolers and comes highly reccomended.
we started using it when she was 6 months old, she is now 14 months old and we still love it!
the seat is just right so my 15 months old son can sit comfortably.
my daughter is now 20 months old and we were involved in a serious car accident 2 weeks ago.
statistics show that many infant and toddler fatalities are due to side impact collisions so this was big on my list (my assumption is that all car seats will have it within another couple of years
my 3 year old daughter loves her pink signo (she was 2 when we purchased it), she often falls asleep in it and her head doesn't flop over like it did in her other car seat.
manual are very easy to follow and it's very simple (we have to move our car seats from one car to another about 4x's per week), once the seat is installed it is very sturdy and won't budge and inch.
i purchased this seat for my 3 year old son who was going to outgrow the 5 point restraints of his recaro youngsport (younger brother now has this seat!).
i had the britax for two of the other children, and, in my opinion, the "sturdiness" and safety features of the recaro seat far exceed that of the britax (and any other brand for that matter).
we've found it to be sturdy, comfortable, and easy to install.
since the seat is secured with a latch system we did not encounter the same issues we had with other boosters, which was that they tipped over.
it fits my 44lb 5 1/2 year old perfectly and wraps around his head and torso.
the seat seems very sturdy and well made.
it's incredibly well built, sturdy, and safe.
it was a side impact collision and my 16 month old daughter was in the car and she didn't even recieve a scratch.
for some kids that about 3 years old.
i have waited over a year to write this review, simply to wait it out and see how my almost 3 year-old daughter react.
my husband and i (and now my 19 month-old daughter) love the seat and it's cover.
i installed the seat in my pt cruiser in no time and that car seat is soooo sturdy, it won't budge!
it is really sturdy and locks into the car very securely.
it's well worth the money for such a comfortable and well made seat.
i recently purchased 2 of the britax boulevard car seats for my 3 year old and 19 month old.
at first i was nervous because it seemed unstable compared to the latch system of the marathon, but once my 34-pound son was buckled in, it was amazingly secure.
toddlers should be fully restrained in a five point harness even if they meet the minimum height and weight requirements for a booster.
when our 3 year old son outgrew his marathon, we purchased the parkway.
if you want durability, get a headrest made out of wood, but then don't complain when your child gets a concussion in a fender bender.
i invested in a britax brand infant/toddler car seat (due to the reputation for safety) and loved it and now that my children have graduated to a booster,i wanted to have as secure/safe a seat as
i have raved about this seat to others and would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone with an older toddler/preschooler who needs a five-point harness and then a booster.
i hope that for our next child we can get this seat or something similar when it comes time for their toddler seat.
my friend is very happy with the car seat and says that her 15 months old son sits very comfortably in it.
this is our third car sear for our 2 1/2 year old and it is the most secure, comfortable and solid of all the previous ones.
this is a great carseat- we purchased it for my car and husbands pickup- didnt get one for our envoy only because it is what we use for long trips and our little girl is only 14 months old and sleeps
i got this seat for my toddler when she turned 3 last year.
my son's pediatrician said it is now recommended children remain rear facing until 2 years old or they meet the weight limit for rear facing.
i am currently using this car seat for my 21 month old son.
it was easy to install and i was surprised to see how sturdy and secure it is.
i found out about this carseat after viewing a websight that was created by a family who lost their 3 year old angel boy in an awful auto accident.
it is easy for him to get in/out by himself, and it is a very sturdy seat.
this is a very sturdy booster seat, yet lightweight so its easy to handle.
it is very sturdy and very easy to install.
i love the way the cup holders are able to hold a cup without it tipping over and another big plus is the headrest.
my 3 year old got this for christmas.
the seats look very well made, sturdy, and stylish...much nicer than any others i've seen in stores.
i'm very much not into flowery things and sometimes when searching for infant/toddler items it's not easy to find things that look a little more grown up.
light weight, yet sturdy enough to trust.
it was also quite easy to adjust the seat to the 1 yr old, after being used by a tall 3 yr old.
because of circumstances i ended up using it for my 3 year old for a short time.
my 3-year-old girl loves her new seat!
i purchased this seat for my 3-year-old son, who is already 41" tall and has nearly outgrown his harnessed booster seat.
the seat seemed very safe and well built.
