Cons: will not work on airplanes, over 50 pounds need tether

I had been waiting for months to get a Britax Super Elite and then learned that it was being replaced with a new model called Britax Husky. I figured I would be waiting several more months once again to get one of these seats for my ...

Cons: Massive. Expensive. Can be hard-to-find (may need to order).

When my son was 2½ he presented us with an interesting dilemma. Tall for his age while still being quite skinny, he outgrew his beloved Br itax Roundabout carseat (a forward-facing seat is considered "outgrown" when ...

Pros: Britax attention to quality and detail
Cons: some small issues that keep it from being perfect.

I trust Epinionater bonniesayers in all things, so when Bonnie says that the Br itax Husky Booster Seat does the job, I believe her. I'd been searching for a seat for our second car that I could use with either of my ...

Pros: 5-point harness with 80 pound limit! Very plush and comfy.
Cons: BIG, Heavy, Expensive, Harness system can be a bit quirky.

Introduction

The Britax Husky is the replacement for the popular Super Elite model. The Husky is very similar to the Super Elite, except that it adds LATCH compatibility and an improved harness system with "Floating" HUGS. There also...

Pros: great one-hand adjuster of harness tightness, fills the gap between up-to-40lb seats and boosters
Cons: Need to use/remove recline bar is poor design. Not portable!

We chose the Britax Husky to keep our daughter in a 5-point harness longer. She has always been over the 95% percentile in both height and weight, and although now a mature 4-year-old, benefits from the extra protection of a 5-point harness over a ...

Pros: Harness to 80lbs, easy to use
Cons: Heavy, huge, some what expensive

I bought this carseat for my 2.5 year old son who was just about to out grow his Fisher Price Safe Embrace in height. I love this seat, but it isn't one that you want to have to install/un-install on a regular basis. We are new vehicle shopping right now ...

Pros: 5-pt harness, Padded well, HUGS pads
Cons: Cost, limited color choices...blue, blue and tan-ish..BLAH!

In an effort to secure our son in the Consumer Reports top rated seats, we purchased 5-pt harness carseats from the very beginning. Well, here's what we know NOW... Our son, age 27 months, has reached the limit of all three 5-pt harness carseats we ...

Pros: Comfortable, Safe, Well put together
Cons: Very large, tricky to install, watch the buckle!

My husband and I purchased this seat for our 18mo. old son in November 2002. I searched and did a lot of research looking for the right booster seat for him. He was not old enough for a conventional lap booster, and the infant/toddler seat he was in...

Pros: Safe Sturdy Really comfortable Easy installation Britax!
Cons: Heavy, really for one car use only Hard to find (=popular!)

When our son's weight was approaching 40 lbs, we knew we had to replace his car seat. Working in the automotive industry, I have a good feel for what can happen to children in a crash situation. The more popular seats which use the standard adult belt to ...

Pros: plush fabric, well cushioned, 5-point harness, fits child 22-80 lbs.
Cons: very big & heavy, nearly impossible to install secure with LATCH or seatbelt

I have waited MONTHS for Britax to finally start shipping this seat which is a replacement for the Britax SuperElite booster. I was thrilled when it finally arrived at my store. I rushed right out to pay the $229 for my new seat. I was buying strictly...

Pros: Safe, safe, safe. Nicely Cushioned, Incredibly sturdy.
Cons: Size,Cost

Pros: 5-point harness, 80 lb weight limit, well padded
Cons: May require seat-belt extension to install.

The seat itself is great: high quality of materials and workmanship, well padded, comfortable and adjustable to a range of child sizes. The only drawbacks are inherent in a car seat designed for bigger kids. It is big. I have it installed in a ...

Pros: comfy and safe for sleeping and long trips, no slumping, or slipping; easy to install
Cons: none really. size is only con, but that is main reason to get it

We purchased the Husky a year ago. My son outgrew his Britax roundabout when he was 3 (because of his height). We have a Britax booster, Starriser Comfy, which is wonderful, but best for short trips. For long drives, especially those where he will ...

Pros: 5 point harness up to 80lbs., comfortable
Cons: Large, more expensive than other seats

My five year old outgrew her 5 point harness/40lb. limit carseat just past her 4th birthday. I was very reluctant to give up the security of the 5 point harness, but followed the guidelines and moved her into the Graco Turbobooster. My daughter is mellow ...
