This review is from: Britax Regent Youth Car Seat, Sahara (Baby Product)

It was time for our 5 yr old to move out of the Britax Marathon we have. Our problem is that our child is 41 inches tall, but only weighs 32 lbs. Too tall for a carseat, but not heavy enough (based on safety recomendations) to be in a booster (even the label on the Britax Parkway suggests that the child be 40 lbs).
We researched many carseat/booster combinations (we were really interested in the Recaro Young Sport), but found that eventhough they can keep a child up to 40 lbs in a 5-pt harness, the harness straps were not positioned high enough for a tall skinny kid (when we called a dealer for Recaro, they said that we should buy the Britax Regent). So we purchased the Regent.
We were extremely concerned about the size, as everyone has mentioned how big they are. We have a Mazda 626 and upon installing it, I was pleasantly surprised. Height-wise, the view looking out of my rearview mirror seems to be the same as when I had the Britax Marathon installed. Yes, is a bit wider, (we wouldn't be able to fit a 3rd person in the backseat with a Regent and a Marathon installed) but I don't see any difference between that, and when we had the Marathon and the Britax Companion installed. So far, so good. My child is very excited to ride in the big kid seat, and I'm glad we purchased it despite our concerns about the size.

This review is from: Britax Regent Youth Car Seat, Sahara (Baby Product)

This seat is a great addition to our lives. I bought this seat for our 5 year old when I realized that we wanted more security than a booster seat. I've had Britax Roundabouts for both of my children, so of course I was glad to use Britax again. As always, Britax produces quality products!! I have used this seat in my minivan, my husbands truck, and my mom's expedition. It has fit differently in all three, but with experience I was able to get a great fit in each vehicle. My van is the only one that works excellent with the LATCH system and tether, the other two vehicles work best with the seatbelt and tether. My son is extrememly comfortable in his seat, and my 2 year old already begs to ride in it. It is big, heavy, etc.; but it is worth all of that. If you are serious about wanting a larger seat to grow with your child, I would highly recommend it.

This review is from: Britax Regent Youth Car Seat, Sahara (Baby Product)

Have owned two "Husky" (now "Regent") model Britax since February 2005. Purchased them to keep our child in a 5-pt harness for as long as possible (Britax goes to 80 lbs and 53 inches tall). Our almost 4 year old has now reached the 40 lb max of the 5-pt seat/booster combo seats that we *thought* were the best protection available...so we are heading to the store to purchase our THIRD Britax seat for him. Because they are heavy/bulky and not the quickest seats to install *correctly*, we have decided to be less inconvenienced and more cash poor by buying a seat for each vehicle our son rides in.

Accidents happen and I want the piece of mind knowing that my son is as protected as he can possibly be for as long as he can be. In our case, we have another 38 lbs or 10 inches before he's exceeded the limits of the Britax Husky/Regent seats.

Unless another company offers a better seat...we'll be a Britax buying family for ourselves and family members.

The seats are easy to use once installed and our son hasn't had any complaints on long road trips. He jumps right into his seat and will quickly fall asleep on those road trips, comfy and secure. Adjustments are a breeze and we're almost at year two of ownership and they look practically new. User friendly and as easy to strap our son in, in the winter dressed in bulky coats, as it is in his summer shorts.

FYI: Our seats are in a: 2000 Ford Focus SE, 2000 Ford Taurus SE, 2003 Ford Explorer XLT 4dr 4x4 and we don't have ANY problems with getting them to fit as tightly into the vehicle as the seats that are a part of the car/truck.
