The Super Elite is a Super Seat

by stephs69camaro , Jan 30 '03
Pros: keep your child in a 5-pt harness till 80 pounds.
Cons: HUGE, Heavy, and Expensive
The Britax Super Elite is the king of all car seats. It is pretty much your only option if you want to keep your child in a 5-point harness past 40 pounds. The Fisher-Price Futura was the only other car seat that was tested for...

A nice seat

by murphydog77 , Jan 13 '03
Pros: 22 to 80 lbs., large seat with lots of growth room, no locking clip needed
Cons: large seat may not fit some vehicles, HUGS harness system, can’t use on airplanes
I was excited when I heard that Britax was coming out with a forward-facing only seat for large toddlers. My 2 year old son was well on his way to being heavier than the 40 lbs. that most harnesses can accommodate, but he was still too immature...

Last car seat you will need

by curtinfamily , Mar 18 '02
Pros: Nice fabric, five point safety harness, comfort, tether straps, quality construction
Cons: The wait and the weight
To update this review, we have had the car seat going on four to five years. We now have two. My sons are nearly 8 and 6 and they are still using them. We could probably take the 8 year old out of this seat but I like the feeling of safety I get from ...

A hefty price, but a HEFTY car seat!

by jbtandem , Mar 28 '02
Pros: 5 point harness, designed for 22-80 lbs.,EXTREMELY solid and very comfortable.
Cons: Very large, might not fit your vehicle. Measure or save your receipt and box.
Admittedly, we are Britax converts. We have only 2 children but the Britax Super Elite is the 5th car seat we've bought. Unfortunately, we were totally car seat clueless when pregnant with our first child and had a car seat for each vehicle that was...

Heaviest Car Seat ever!

by fuse , Jul 16 '02
Pros: Britax quality
Cons: HUGE!,heavy, hard to find, make sure it fits your car
Our son has grown like a weed since day one. After he had outgrown the infant car carrier style seat, we did some research and found the Britax brand to have a stellar reputation. Three years later, the Britax Roundabout had to be retired since my now...

Pros: Harness for bigger kids
Cons: Heavy, Huge, Hard to install, Impossible to find, No cup holder
I had been trying to get this seat for about a year, when my youngest outgrew his infant carrier/seat at three months. Initially ordered on internet around July, but canceled when it was going to be October before delivery, (I'll keep my money in my...

Great for older kids!

by gigi6262 , Sep 08 '02
Pros: 5 Point Harness to 80 Lbs! Comfortable to child. Easy Install.
Cons: Seat is BIG, but otherwise great!
I bought the Britax Super Elite about 3 weeks ago for my 11 year old son, Scott. He is small for his age. At 11, he is only 47" tall and weighs 53 Lbs. The seat belts in our car still do not fit him too good (even at the lowest height setting, the...

Excellent buy that will last!

by steph_tripp , Mar 05 '02
Pros: 5 point harness, 20-80 lb. range, comfortable seat, tether strap included, Britax reputation
Cons: Seat in demand--difficult to find, HUGE, son likes to play with the straps
I purchased the Britax Super Elite for my 3 year old when his sister needed to take over his Britax Roundabout (which I've loved!). I read several reviews about this particular car seat that praised it's 5-point harness and range of weight (20-80 lb.)....

Needs competition

by deanview , Jun 02 '02
Pros: 5 Point harness
Cons: Very poor build quality, and unacceptable installation procedure.
To date, the Super Elite is the only true 5-point seat for weights above 40 pounds. There is no question that this seat is safer than any other booster on the market. But I really wonder how many of these seats are installed improperly. The installation...

by sisternchrist , Feb 09 '02
Pros: Holds a child up to 80lbs in a 5-pt harness, easy to install
Cons: Very large and hard to rethread the harness straps to adjust the hight
Hi, I am a nanny and watch many different aged children. I am currently watching a 2 1/2 year old and a 4 1/2 year old. Ever since their mom told me that their son (2 1/2) weighed 35lbs I searched for a carseat that would accommodate him.

Be sure to have the right seat for the right car!

by truesong , Mar 01 '02
Pros: 5 point harness Comfortable for child to take naps in.
Cons: Doesn't fit in all cars or work with all seat belts, chest clip not tight
I REALLY love the fact that this seat has a 5 point harness for up to 80 lbs. I drive an hour every weekend to visit my adult daughter and my two year old takes her nap in this seat. She is very comfortable napping. However, I have had a couple problems...

by mometoo3 , Sep 13 '02
Pros: Big size for bigger kids, 5pt. harness Tether
Cons: Expensive, Heavy, Hard to Install,
This seat is really big! That's good for older kids that use it. My daughter is just 17 months old and weighs in at almost 35 lbs! I bought this for her because she was outgrowing her Britax Roundabout by her height.

The SUV of Boosters

by mcallihan , Jul 02 '02
Pros: Solid, very safe even for sleeping kids, rare 5 point harness for "big kids"
Cons: Titanic in size, harder to get in/out of than traditional boosters, some fit/finish problems
Bought two of these after wait-listing at Baby 2 Teen in Manassas, VA for about 8 weeks. Manufacture date was 5 days prior to the day we picked them up at the store.

The seat is as big as everyone says. Nevertheless, it can be moved from car...
