The 4 & 3/4:
I bought this car seat, like many other people, because it is top of the line here in the states. I am a very frugal person, so dropping $200 something on a car seat is very uncharacteristic of me. However, there are things you skimp on: hand me down clothes, second had toys, etc. The safety of my child just wasn't one of those things. This car seat is miles ahead of the infant carrier car seat we had when my daughter was first born. Being frugal, before my daughter was born, I bought infant carrier car seat because it came with a stroller it connected with. My daughter out grew the weight & height requirement by the time she turned 10 months old. For what I spent on that car seat, vs what I spend on the Britax and how long it will last her, I feel like I got ripped off on the earlier car seat. Not only did she out grow it quickly, but it was complicated to snap her in, and although I had it latched down and had the seat belt through it and ratcheted tight, it still moved when I went over bumps.

Going from that to our now installed Britax was night and day. It is so easy to get her in and out of this, there are even little velcro patches on the sides that you can stick the straps to to get her in and out easier. The Clicking system is great for knowing when it's just snug enough, I find that it takes between 2-3 clicks to have it snug enough, but it's reassuring to hear the clicks (it's also great for her grandparents). My daughter is still rear facing and I really like that it has a rebound strap that connects to the floor. I also like that she will be able to remain rear facing until she is 35 pounds, all the safer for her. I don't think I will ever buy anything but Britax again.

The 1/4 star left off:

(Note: I don't list expenses as a con, because I feel like I have gotten what I paid for)

1.) It was difficult to install in the rear facing position. We had a car seat check done (I would HIGHLY recommend this, these people put in a lot of hours to learn how to keep our kids strapped in safe and properly, and their services are free! It's worth 30 minutes out of your Saturday), and we had done it mostly right, but even the car seat tech had a bit hard time getting it into just the right position (She also raved about the Britax car seat and told us advantages about it we were unaware of).

2.) The seat - although it doesn't move a smidgen left to right (love that) - actually slips down towards the back of the seat of the car making my daughter more reclined back (I hope that made sense). I think this is because of the angle of our leather seats. Kind of annoying, but quick and easy to scooch it back into place.

3.) This thing is big. And takes up A LOT of room. I can't see this fitting in a smaller car rear facing. It just barely fits rear facing in our Sequoia in the center spot (I know it wouldn't fit behind the seats with them pushed all the way back - my hubby and I are both 6 ft+, so that's a bit of a downer if we had to have her on the side).For that reason, and the difficulty of installing it rear facing initially (I think I could do it okay again on my own, I just don't want to mess with it), I have never taken this car seat out of the car, instead I always offer to drive. Because again A) it's a little tricky to install (mostly because it is so big) and B) It is SO BIG :).

That being said, I really love this car seat and feel so good about having made this purchase and have recommend it to friends and family. I love knowing that my little one is safe, secure, and pretty darn cozy in her car seat.
