Have 2 because we always pick and drop off our daughter in different cars. Before we got 2 it was very quick to move between cars. It has a nice sleeping position and with isofix you know the seat is not going to move if the unexpected should happen.
A great sturdy comfy seat that was extremely easy to fit using the isofix or seatbelt fitting, took no time at all. Rock solid with isofix. Lovely soft fabric, looks good too. Our best car seat to date!
from Arundel, Sussex on 6/23/2008
Excellent price, [...], ISOFIX is so easy to install takes seconds.
from Leeds on 6/20/2008
I was worried this would be difficult to install (a friend told me they'd spent over an hour installing their isofix seat. This one took me 5 mins!! (in a Golf Plus, I know all cars are diff) Its sturdy and looks comfortable. Great that it has different positions, my 11 month old didn't even wake up when I took her out of the pram and into the seat in its reclined position. Changing position easy too. I know someone commented that the height of the shoulder straps needed to be set before installation, which is true, but its so easy to 'uninstall' that this really isn't an issue for me. You can still adjust the straps, when they're wearing bulkier clothes, as normal. We've not had it long so not had chance to clean it yet but if its anything like the Britax infant seat then that'll be easy too. Very happy.

We bought this to go in the grandparents car as it had a good review on which.co.uk. It fitted really easily and wasnt too heavy for the grandparents to remove and refit when they need to.

from Birmingham on 5/29/2008
Great sturdy car seat, and easy to fit but you have to adjust the straps around the baby before you fit to the car so once fitted i don't think you can adjust the straps. If you fit them as tight as you should, they are then difficult to do up. Instructions could be better. I would recommend it though as the problems are only small. [...]
from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk on 5/26/2008
It fits my husband's car too, and is easy to move from one to the other.
from peterborough on 5/23/2008
Used nearly every day.
Excellent value for money, high quality.
from Harrogate on 5/22/2008
Great!
I now have 2 of these seats one for my toddler and one for my 9 month old. They are very easy to install, comfortable and easy to adjust. You know your children are safe and secure in there seats.

from North Wales on 5/22/2008
This item seems to be excellent - we bought it because it was a highly recommended Best Buy by Which? magazine. The seat is easy to fix without the Isofix system (easier than our old baby seat, in fact), and seems to be really well-made.

from Herts on 5/15/2008
We have been really impressed with this product. It is easy to install and remove from the car, we often change between two cars and never taken more than a couple of mins. The seat is compatable with so many cars, link to Britax website very useful. Fantastic product at a great price with added security and peace of mind being isofix.
from Surrey on 5/10/2008
Fantastic car seat for grandparents' car, when you carry the grandchildren occasionally, but want to be able to remove the seat easily when transporting adults. No fiddly straps and tensioning belts to worry about, so can feel very confident that the seat is safely installed.
from stoneleigh, surrey on 5/10/2008
The isofix is so easy to use and makes the seat very secure. much better than a seat belt fastening seat.
the ability to recline the seat is great - allows the child to be in a more comfortable position when asleep.
sometimes can be difficult to fasten the safety harness but this makes it more difficult for an older toddler to try and undo it themselves.
a great all round seat, would definately recommend.
from south east on 5/6/2008
Was very confident about our previous isofix child seat which fixes so firmly to the car and so wanted the same security this time. Extra money but worth it for peace of mind over the next 4 years, and Kiddicare value great compared elsewhere.
from Hull on 5/1/2008
It is very easy to install using the Isofix Fittings and is extremely sturdy and safe.
from Derbys on 4/28/2008
Great product. Very easy to install using the ISO fix.
from northants on 4/27/2008
brought the product as it rated highly on which testing and we wanted an isofix seat for extra safety. it went in no problems and is so sturdy - not one wobble!!
would definately recommend and kiddicare price best on internet
from Derby on 4/23/2008
Confident that we have fitted it correctly - good, clear indicators that isofix engaged properly. Feels secure and sturdy.
Top tether a bit more faffy but gives peace of mind.
Easy to recline for sleeping.
Easy to get 1 yr old in and out of.
Straps look well padded and comfortable.
Can't adjust height of shoulder straps when fitted in the car which means it needs to be periodically taken out of the car, adjusted as your child grows and then refitted.
Not tried fitting using seat belts.
from Birmingham on 4/22/2008
Definately value for money, good quality and very comfortable for baby.
from Wisbech, Cambs on 4/17/2008
I chose this one and was able to check it's compatibility with my car online.
from Wiltshire on 4/12/2008
My first son has an isofix seat and it is one of the best buys we made. Our second son is now 7 months and so we've bought another for him. It is very, very sturdy and the seat feels so much safer than one that fits in with a seat belt. It is incredibly easy to install and adjust. It looks and feels very comfortable as there's plenty of padding all over (belts and seat itself). Cleaning is fairly straight forward, just a couple of buckles and catches to take the whole seat off. For safety and comfort, I don't think you can buy better.
from Bolton on 4/10/2008
We bought this product as it was the most reasonably priced isofix car seat from a name you can trust.
The car seat is stylish and looks comfortable for the little one (who is 10 months old). The isofix system means the seat was easy to fit (in about 3 seconds) and feels very secure. No fiddly bits and no complicated 'extras'. A simple, secure, parent friendly car seat.
from Berkshire on 4/9/2008
I chose this seat as it was recommended by Which magazine for a car with Isofix fittings. It is easy to take in and out of the car, which is ideal as it will only be used occasionally. My only problem has been that the fastening is a bit stiff, but I hope that will improve once it has been used.
from Glasgow on 4/8/2008
Easy to fit and robust.
from North Yorkshire on 4/6/2008
Bought this for 9 month old son, from his first journey in the car seat he loved it. He is able to see out of the car and when sleeping he looks comfortable which is reasuring for us. Not tried it with just seatbelt installation but the isofix system with the top tether makes the seat really secure. Only one problem and that is that you have to remove car seat to adjust height of shoulder straps, but given that you will only need to do this a few times its just a little niggle. Overall very pleased with this seat!
from Bury, Lancs on 4/6/2008
This is a good car seat although it is a little more expensive than other similar types. Our baby is very comfortable in it and seems much happier in the car now that she can face forwards! Once in the car it isn't easy to adjust despite being billed as having different recline positions. The safety straps can be a little fiddly too but overall this was a good buy for us.
from Scotland on 4/5/2008
Easy to install, even for my husband. Very solid and no extra leg to contend with, compared with the maxi cosi version we had for our older daughter. Two grinning babies in the back and big sister very grown-up in her booster seat.
from Newcastle on 4/5/2008
This scores really highly on safety tests - I bought a second one for my second daughter because a year on it was still the safest. Use the britax fitfinder on the website to check the isofix is suitable for your car. Most of it cleans really easily, just the straps can't be removed so if they get wet or dirty they can only be sponge cleaned which isn't always enough. Small price to pay for great safety though.
from wiltshire on 3/26/2008
this is good value for money (being that its got isofix) and feels really padded and quite cushiony on where they sit. ive put con being heavy but it stays in the car anyway. very easy to clip into isofix.
from Peterborough on 3/20/2008
When I got this, there wasn't that much choice in the isofix section, so bit of hobsons really, but glad it worked out. We find it very solid & sturdy in IsoFix mode. Easy to fit into non isofix cars (granny's) but doesn't feel half as solid & sturdily secure when fixed with seatbelt instead of isofix. Could do with a play tray.
from Caerphilly S. Wales on 3/14/2008
I like being able to use the Isofix in our car & my son-in-law can use seat belts in his car,
from Worcestershire on 3/11/2008
We required two car seats, one for each car (a Honda Jazz and a Honda FRV) and this is the only one that would fit both, including the front middle seat of the FRV. I had to call Britax to check if it would fit as their fit finder was unclear however the customer service in the UK is first class.The seat feels sturdy and well designed as you would hope, however the instructions were a bit limited in detail. Not too much of a problem though as it is so easy to fit. Well, it is once you have the guides for the isofix fittings in place. This was difficult on the FRV and required brute force on the Jazz as there wasn't enough clearance between the isofix bar and the car chassis. On both cars the seat fabric was so tight that it was very difficult. I have a feeling that removing these from the Jazz (which you have to do if you want to fold the seats down) will cause them to break. I called Britax and ordered a spare set of guides ([$] including delivery) just in case.On the floor it doesn't look like there is much recline on the seat, however, once in the car it is far better. Our little boy seems very comfortable and enjoys finally looking forward. The straps are quite bulky on his small shoulders at the moment.We have to use the top tether strap on the FRV which makes the seat feel even more secure - however, quite why Britax decided to make the strap 6 foot long I don't know!!In summary, this seat is great even with the few niggles described above and the the price puts it at very good value compared to other isofix systems.
from Newcastle on 3/11/2008
It's sturdy and secure,lots of padding and at the right height for our little girl to see out the window. Does everything that I want from a car seat. For the price you really can't do better.
from Fleet on 3/10/2008
This is a great ISOFIX seat. I use it with the top-tether in my Volvo XC90 and it is rock-solid. Having 4 boys I needed a seat that would take the day-to-day abuse of the school-run without the worry of it been knocked and loosening accidentally....and I could'nt be happier. I've had seats before that are accidentally unclipped or just work themseleves loose after a few days, but this isn't one.
The reclined position is enough for a sleeping toddler and a momentary adjustment of the top-tether is needed when utilising it. Installing the top-tether just took a little extra thought but was straightforward.
The extre features are worthy and the clothe is nice to the touch. My wee boy is a happy (and safe) wee boy.
from Anglesey on 2/24/2008
Our 9 month old daughter seems to love her new car seat. She actually stayed awake for a half hour car journey and didn't cry once! We bought 2 and they fit easily in both of our cars, one with the top tether and one without.
from Bristol on 1/30/2008
I really like it because it secures into the car rather than having to use the seat belt to fix it in which can be tricky. I feel my daughter is much safer due to this. It is easy to remove to put into my dad's vehicle too.
from Hertfordshire on 1/28/2008
This is a great car seat, easy to install and easy to use. It has a reclining position which is great for when i want my baby to sleep
My only criticism is that the straps are not easy to pull tight
from Berkshire on 1/27/2008
So good we bought 2, one for each car.
Isofix fittings that are so easy to use and gives excellent safety and stability.
from essex on 1/27/2008
i have used this model almost daily now for 4 months and it is great - it was easy to fit and just as easy to remove when needed while being very secure and comfortable for my special little lady
from goodmayes ilford on 1/23/2008
its good that i dont need to take it in and out my baby seem to like it n sleep well ww go out
from Herne Bay, Kent on 1/22/2008
Isofix is very easy to istall, remove and re-install. Because it is isofix it's much sturdier than our previous child seat and doesn't damage the car's seat with the pressure pad that some non isofix seats have. Size adjustment and the recline movement are easy to use. At the time we purchased it was one of the cheapest of it's type and came with free stuff aswell
from Truro on 1/21/2008
Comfortable well made product with Isofix or belt fitting. Isofix fitting feels very safe once seat is fitted. Good strap adjustment with well padded body restraint.
from London on 1/21/2008
I always opt for Britax due to their focus on safety and haven't been disappointed with this car seat.

from Teesside on 1/21/2008
Our son is nearly 1 now, and spends a lot of time in the car, being transported here and there. We have 2 cars and the ISOFIX fittings make it so easy to switch between cars, as well as making it secure. Seat belt securing is also pretty easy if needed.
The seat is comfortable, sturdy, and pretty easy to keep clean (thank goodness!). Handy features like a place on each side to hold back the harness when seating your little one are simple but invaluable.
About the only downside is that it's heavy, but that only matters when carrying for more than a minute, and how often do you do that? It does mean though, that it's solid and well built which puts our mind at rest.
This is the only seat I've used, so I'm not an expert, but I can't imagine a better product. Top stuff!
from Oxfordshire on 1/19/2008
We've used this seat with and without the Isofix fittings and it's been good both ways. It is much more secure with Isofix but I'm happy to use it with just the seatbelt fittings as well.
from Jersey on 1/18/2008
Needs an additional foam insert (when I bought it in 2007) for it to be rated for use in BMW's. Britax send one to you for [$] so no real hassle.We have bought 2, one for each child, nothing else was compatible on ease of fit, price etc
from Woodbridge on 1/16/2008
So easy to install - and very reassuring knowing all the safety features.
from Cambridge on 1/15/2008
Very easy to use.
from Lancs on 1/15/2008
We are very pleased with this product we feel our grandchild is comfortable and secure in it.
from cheltenham on 1/14/2008
the car seats are really good even for my newborn, just put head support inside it. Maybe the colours could be more for children- red, blue, yellow. Something a bit happier...
from Torbay on 1/14/2008
The fantastic thing is that it takes seconds to install and you know you have fitted it correctly and therefore that your child is as safe as possible in the car.
from Edinburgh on 1/12/2008
This seat is very easy to install and can be done in seconds, which is great if you have more than one car with ISOFIX. The seat is rock solid once fitted using the ISOFIX method, and the provided guides help in locating the ISOFIX bars on your car seats. It is also very simple to fit using the traditional seatbelt method. Although the seat doesn't recline very far, my daughter has no problem at all falling asleep in it. The straps are easily adjusted, and simple to tighten once the child is fastened in. All in all, an excellent and very safe car seat at an excellent price.
from Bromley, Kent on 1/11/2008
Easy to use either with isofix or seatbelt and light enough to keep swapping between vehicles, which is why we purchased this. Baby seems comfortable and well supported. Recline feature useful if baby falls asleep.
from Woking, Surrey on 1/10/2008
Easy to install in car. Good price
from SWINDON on 1/10/2008
A GREAT CHILDS SEAT ,SAFELY FITTED WITH ISOFIX FOR EXTRA PEACE OF MIND, YOU CAN REMOVE AND REFIT TO GRANDPARENTS CARS WITH EASE.NICE BUILD QUALITY AND LOOKS NICE TOO.
