Client Critiques

This is a evaluation of the Britax B-Safe infant car seat. I am a mom with two smaller kids and have owned and/or tested over 30 car seats in the past five years. Overall, the Britax B-Secure is a amazing infant seat that I would not hesitate to advocate to buddies and household. It is particularly equivalent in functions and value to the Chicco Keyfit 30 Automobile Seat, so I'll give a basic comparison to aid parents determine between the two.
1st of all, if you want to use a Britax stroller, such as the Britax B-Agile Stroller or the Britax B-Scene Stroller, deciding upon the B-Secure car seat completely makes sense. The click-n-go adapters that come with the car seat (already attached) and the receivers on the strollers (painless to attach, takes under 30 seconds) make it seamless to convert those Britax strollers into brilliant travel systems. If you want to use a non-Britax stroller, check with that stroller's manufacturer to see if they make a vehicle seat adaptor that is compatible with Britax infant seats. It does take practice to line up the connectors when you're dropping in the car seat, but it does get a lot easier with time.
Moving beyond travel technique usage, let's take a appear at the car seats themselves.
Fit: The Britax B-Safe and the Chicco KeyFit 30 each have a 30lb weight limit. The B-Secure has a stated height limit of 32", vs the KeyFit's 30" limit. In reality, both seats are outgrown when your child's head is 1" from the leading of the shell, and in reality, the Britax shell is no taller than the Chicco. So don't let that stated limit trick you into preferring the B-Safe.
Both the B-Safe and the KeyFit 30 fit tiny babies certainly well, thanks to the infant padding supplied by every single manufacturer. Each of these seats fit little babies FAR far better than the Graco Snugride 35 Infant Vehicle Seat. The B-Safe's head and physique pad is removable for older babies at the discretion of the parent, whereas the infant physique padding in the KeyFit should be removed just after child weighs 11lbs, although the head pad removal is at the parent's discretion in that seat. Both seats also fit older infants properly, with a lot of harness positions (a significant downfall of the Graco Snugride 22 Infant Auto Seat, which only has two harness heights). I give a slight edge to the Britax given that it has two crotch strap positions. I'd recommend that parents obtain an infant seat with a 30 or 35lb weight limit rather than the 22lb limit any day -- keep away from the SnugRide 22!
The Britax B-Safe has 1 drawback on the "fit" side of issues: the straps can be somewhat "twisty", e.g. they can get twisted in the buckles and can be a pain to untangle. This is for the reason that the straps are the thinner, far more slippery webbing. The Chicco straps are slightly thicker and do not twist effortlessly in the buckles, which is a big win in my book (my husband twists the straps in the B-Secure buckles every single time he takes our daughter out of the vehicle...it's a talent, seriously!).
Note: Immediately after outgrowing either of these seats, you will want to move your youngster into a rear-facing convertible vehicle seat and maintain them rear-facing to the limits of that seat, NOT into a forward facing seat. Check the AAP recommendations on this -- they recommend keeping your child rear-facing to age 2 or the limits of your automobile seat, which is normally 35-40lbs and way past age two. Your kid is 500% safer rear-facing!
Installation: Both seats come with a single base, which you install in the auto and leave there even when removing the infant auto seat. Each bases have an adjustable "boot" that assists you to accomplish the appropriate angle of recline, and each have a level indicator on the base. The Chicco base wins for ease of installation, with its pull-strap mechanism for LATCH and straightforward seat belt lockoffs. The Britax base is effortless sufficient to use, but the tightening mechanism isn't as smooth, and the belt lockoff calls for a TON of force to open and close, creating the parent feel like they are going to break it! For installing with out a base, the Chicco KeyFit also wins, since the seatbelt guides are exposed already, whereas with the Britax seatbelt guides are under the cover, so you have to futz with elastic bands on the cover each single time you want to access them.
Fabric: Britax gets the edge in fabric, with a slightly simpler to wipe clean seat cover. I extremely suggest the black for hiding dirt. The KeyFit 30 has light colors in the head and feet area, both of which show sweat and grime marks readily. Each the Britax seat and the Chicco seat are warm -- there's not a lot to be completed about this. If you have a sweaty child, they're going to sweat in any infant seat.
Canopy: Britax wins hands-down in the canopy, with a generous canopy that stays where you place it. I know that would seem like such a hassle-free factor, but the KeyFit canopy really does not usually stay fully extended, and it's not as extended as the B-Safe canopy, which is definitely nice when you want to shade your infant! Added advantage: the B-Safe canopy is so extended that if you have two kids sitting subsequent to each other in car seats, the B-Safe canopy can basically prevent them from seeing every other if it is totally extended, which can be wonderful if you want to encourage vehicle naps.
Client Service and Manual: both Britax and Chicco have well-written manuals. Britax customer service gets a slight edge, with incredibly knowledgeable techs answering the phones.
So general, I give the new Britax B-Secure a 4-star rating, to account for its few quirks and twisty straps, and strongly advise it. The deciding factor for me would really be stroller compatibility and absolutely nothing more.

This is our third Britax vehicle seat. We also personal the Roundabout and Frontier 85. I appreciate how easy these vehicle seat straps/buckles are to adjust and how very easily they install into vehicles. They hold up highly well, from youngster to youngster and travel properly (we fly overseas a lot). I didn't hesitate to get the infant seat with the birth of our youngest son, and I am pretty happy with our obtain. My only gripe is equivalent to other reviewers about earlier Britax infant auto seats, which is the reality that the materials is not breathable, and that makes for a incredibly sweaty newborn son. Due to the fact we take extended car trips, I am a tiny annoyed at that, but I know that very same materials will make cleaning it a snap. General, I truly like the infant carrier and it will be employed a lot in planes, in cars and restaurants. I would get it once more, and suggest it with that 1 caveat.
