Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Help keep your infant safe, secure and comfortable while riding in the car with the Companion infant car seat from Britax. Made for babies weighing four to 22 pounds with a height up to 30 inches, this rear facing seat is easy to install and remove, and it's loaded with features designed to protect, support and cushion your baby when traveling.
Practical, Comfortable Design For Easy Installation
The Companion features push-button release LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors renowned for their flexibility and ease of use. These connectors also come complete with strap storage so you can install the Companion through traditional seat belts if you wish. The built-in lock-offs provide a tight, secure installation in minutes, and are also easy to reach. Plus, you'll never have to worry about missing parts! To help ensure convenient and efficient transport, the smooth, contoured and adjustable carrying handle has a soft grip. Additional Britax Companion Seat Bases can be purchased for the multi-car family that only wants to move the seat between vehicles. An in-car base is a great feature when you want to transport a sleeping baby from car to destination without waking them up.
True Side Impact ProtectionTM for Peace of Mind
The Companion also gives you the additional peace of mind of engineered True Side Impact ProtectionTM. Deep side walls and head support provide advanced cushioning and shock-absorption in side impact collisions, helping to reduce the risk of injury to your child. Additionally, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) impact foam lining around the baby's head and torso absorbs energy in side and rear impacts, cradles baby's head to keep it away from protruding parts, cushions violent side to side movements, and creates a comfortable resting spot. An anti-rebound bar in the car seat's base also helps reduce movement in the event of an accident.

Custom-Fit For Optimum Safety
The recline adjust knob helps the seat perfectly fit your vehicle by allowing you to make needed adjustments with just one hand. The soft and supportive straps fit snugly over your baby's shoulders, collarbone and hips to provide a stable fit, and they can be quickly adjusted by a one-pull strap. The tangle-free, five-point harness offers three harness heights and is made of durable polyester webbing to guard against wear and tear. And the head pad has adjustable, air-filled pockets that you can expand or deflate to custom fit around your baby's head to ensure comfort, especially at nap time. For added convenience, the infinitely adjustable base height guarantees a personalized fit, and the plush, removable fabric cover is washable.

Awkward, but good for tall babies,
This review is from: Britax Companion Infant Car Seat Onyx (Baby Product)
If you have a tall family, the Britax infant carseat is for you. It allows for a baby height of 30 inches. The popular Graco only goes to 26 inches and our son outgrew that carseat at 10 weeks. You will find the Britax to be heavier, the clasp is harder to use, and it doesn't give you a loud, reassuring CLICK when you hook it to its base, but at least you will be able to use it for many months!

Safe and secure,
This review is from: Britax Companion Infant Car Seat Onyx (Baby Product)
I love this car seat. After researching many different seats I decided to go with Britax after hearing so many great things. The seat is very comfortable for my daughter, every time we go out she is asleep in her seat within minutes. There is a head support with True Side Impact Protection in case of an accident, which is very reassuring to me. The material is very nice and easily washable. The straps on the five point harness are easy to adjust with just the push of a button and the pull of a strap. You can loosen or tighten the straps with the baby already in the seat. The base is set up for a car with LATCH but can also be used with a seat belt. When the seat is hooked onto the base, there is a loud click to let me know that she is locked in unlike the other reviewer mentioned. The seat is rather heavy. However, safety is more important to me than how much a seat weighs. This is one of the best seats on the market, a little pricey but what price would you put on your child's safety? My next car seat will be a Britax!

Sturdy Seat,
By T,M,DJ, and Cam (Wake Forest, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Britax Companion Infant Car Seat Onyx (Baby Product)
Great rugged infant car seat, but it does have a few problems. It's really heavy if you ever use the seat outside of the car. The little head TSIP (true side impace protection) piece keeps falling down, last of all, adjusting the handle is difficult as the latches on each side really require a good pull. If you have large access car doors and plan to leave the seat in your car attached to the base, it's a great safe seat.
