Britax is the leader when it comes to baby in infant car seats. Although the company is a relative newcomer to the United States Britax has been selling car seats in Australia, Europe and England for more than 30 years. Their strength has been in the areas of safety and engineering that is help them gain a solid following among parents. Even high end automakers like Porsche and Mercedes Benz have used their car seats. While the Britax car seats and child booster seats are often more expensive than much of the competition, it is the quality construction and safety record that set them apart. Parents are eager to pay the price in order to get quality safety in the car seats they use for their children.
A couple of the very innovative safety designs the Britax company has built into their car seats are side impact protection and anti-rebound bars. These safety improvements help prevent the car seat from harsh rebounding during an impact in the side impact protection helps prevent injury from a side impact just as you might imagine.
The Britax car seats also contain a reinforced headrest with specially made foam that helps absorb the energy of the frontal or side impact crash. These car seats also using no tangle five-point harness to further protect your child. Another one of Britax’s innovations in safety is their tangle-free polyester 5-point harness system that grows with your child – the seats generally fit children 5 to 65 pounds). Most of the Britax car seat models, including the Britax Roundabout, Britax Boulevard, Britax Companion, and the Britax Decathlon – feature the “”LATCH”" (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system, which locks the car seat into the vehicle quickly and securely. Most new motor vehicles have the factory installed stabilization points that the LATCH system is designed for.
These types of safety systems that have been built into the Britax car seats along with quality construction set them apart from the competition. If you are looking for a car seat that will really provide protection and safety for your child the Britax car seats will provide you with the safety you want.
You see Britax’s company slogan is “Safety is always in fashion”. Not only are the Britax car seats safe they are also comfortable, convenient and stylish.
Now while the Britax car seats are safe there are also comfortable and convertible. Now most of the time parents are going to go through probably three car seats plus a booster seat before their child no longer needs the assistance of child seats. Many of the Britax car seats are convertible meaning that they will adjust as your child grows so that you only need one car seat until they’re about 65 pounds.
The fact that the Britax car seats are convertible and adjust from an infant style car seat to a toddler car seat and on up is a great advantage. So while the Britax car seats may seem expensive and you think about the fact that you only need one while your child grows it really is a bargain. And because your child may be in the car seat for so many years and those car seat covers do wear out you can purchase replacement car seat covers in various styles and colors to keep your Britax car seat looking new.
