After much investigating, we decided on this carseat because our success with Britax has been great. (We have 2 other Britax Roundabouts that we are very pleased with.) We have no complaints with this carseat either except for it is unstable when our little one crawls in and out of it. I don't know how this problem could be fixed though as a "booster seat" is not anchored in besides for the regular seat belt. Overall, we are happy with it.

We bought a seat for our son to mirror the same product bought for our daughter several years earlier. This seat is fantastic and has served us well for nearly 4 years, however as our son has recently GROWN so fast (!) he no longer needs the head support. Both kids loved the fact they could fall asleep and their heads didn't slump over. Downside was wearing the bulky headphones that come with your minivan or SUV because as they get older their head doesn't fit as well and they asked regularly for the video audio to be played on the car stereo ... by then it was time for their own portable DVD and MP3/iPod players anyway. Well worth the price, they'll make good hand-me-downs to somebody! Don't hesitate - just buy Britax.

We have at least 5 carseats at this point for my preschooler. Each one has been purchased at different developmental stages and for specific needs. Having said that, we LOVE this Britax booster seat! It is very lightweight and easy to use. My son does very well in it, even when we did a 3 day drive across the entire country! I am very happy with the safety features, especially the side impact protection and the ease of guiding the seat belt to the right position. We have 3 other booster seats and this is by-far my favorite!

My wife says I'm a "safety nut" and this seat is great for our little one! We have the "Sapphire" and "Tiffany" patterns and enjoy them both.
Only two downsides noticed...(1) when making the transition to this seat, you'll need to keep an eye when your child starts to go to sleep and make sure his/her head doesn't tilt backwards too much and cause neck pain; instead, teach him/her to lean towards the safety padded side, and (2) the cup holders are hardly more than a small tray and not equipped to hold any drink we've tried thus far.
For us, safety is first priority, comfort second, with price and color selection next. Britax borders on the high end usually, but isn't your little one worth it? :)

I love this product...it is very easy to use and I feel confident with it's safety ratings. Simply the best!!
