When "Good" just isn't enough...

17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ease of use, safety, comfort
Cons Price, size
Recommended it? Yes

I am infatuated with my son’s Britax car seat.  When I worked at Babies R Us (about 6 years ago) I learned just about everything I could learn about car seats, how they’re made, how seat A stacks up against seat B and the ratings and what you should look for.  You also learn all the quirks that...

Safty is worth the price!

Pros Stable, Safe & Can stay in until 65 pounds
Cons Smaller base tears up your seats & narrow in seat for bigger kids
Recommended it? Yes

We own 2 of the Marathons and 2 of the Regents! We moved our 4 year old into the Regent when baby came. The Regent is a little better for the bigger kids but you certainly don't have to change. We just chose to move her.

**Note Use a pad under the base. The base is smaller and tears up... Read full review »

A little heavy, but a great car seat.

bymlmusmcjd Aug 27, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ergonomic handle and roomy.
Cons A little heavy.
Recommended it? Yes

I really like this car seat. I originally bought it because I was buying the snap and go stroller frame and the car seat is compatible with that. The triangle shaped handle makes it easier to hold than other models. It is roomy so bigger babies aren't crammed into it. It is easy to clean. The strap... Read full review »

A safe and versatile car seat

bymytwosents Feb 23, 2008
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very sturdy. Many compatible accessories. Nice features.
Cons Heavier than comparable carriers, making back strain worse.
Recommended it? Yes

The Baby Trend Flex-Loc infant car seat carrier is durable and versatile.

I chose this infant carrier largely because it was highly-rated in Consumer Reports, but there are other benefits as well. Being able to buy and install multiple detachable bases in different vehicles is a nice... Read full review »
