Deep side walls and head support provide True Side Impact Protection. (Plum color shown.) View larger. | Practical, Comfortable Design For Easy Installation
The Companion features push-button release LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors renowned for their flexibility and ease of use. These connectors also come complete with strap storage so you can install the Companion through traditional seat belts if you wish. The built-in lock-offs provide a tight, secure installation in minutes, and are also easy to reach. Plus, you'll never have to worry about missing parts! To help ensure convenient and efficient transport, the smooth, contoured and adjustable carrying handle has a soft grip. Additional Britax Companion Seat Bases can be purchased for the multi-car family that only wants to move the seat between vehicles. An in-car base is a great feature when you want to transport a sleeping baby from car to destination without waking them up. Custom-Fit For Optimum Safety
The recline adjust knob helps the seat perfectly fit your vehicle by allowing you to make needed adjustments with just one hand. The soft and supportive straps fit snugly over your baby's shoulders, collarbone and hips to provide a stable fit, and they can be quickly adjusted by a one-pull strap. The tangle-free, five-point harness offers three harness heights and is made of durable polyester webbing to guard against wear and tear. And the head pad has adjustable, air-filled pockets that you can expand or deflate to custom fit around your baby's head to ensure comfort, especially at nap time. For added convenience, the infinitely adjustable base height guarantees a personalized fit, and the plush, removable fabric cover is washable. True Side Impact ProtectionTM for Peace of Mind
The Companion also gives you the additional peace of mind of engineered True Side Impact ProtectionTM. Deep side walls and head support provide advanced cushioning and shock-absorption in side impact collisions, helping to reduce the risk of injury to your child. Additionally, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) impact foam lining around the baby's head and torso absorbs energy in side and rear impacts, cradles baby's head to keep it away from protruding parts, cushions violent side to side movements, and creates a comfortable resting spot. An anti-rebound bar in the car seat's base also helps reduce movement in the event of an accident. Accessories and Options For an Enjoyable Ride
Car trips should be pleasant for babies, which is why the Companion comes with extra shoulder room and soft shoulder pads, a belly pad, and an adjustable sun canopy for UV protection from every angle. For babies weighing less than seven pounds, the Britax Companion Low Birth Weight Foam can be purchased separately to provide additional support. The Companion is also compatible with the Britax Vigour and Britax Preview strollers, making it a snap to enjoy a complete "grab and go" travel system as your baby grows. The Companion is also certified for airplane travel, and includes a base that conveniently stays in the car, so you can transport a sleeping baby without worrying about waking them up. Weighing 16 pounds and measuring 18.75 x 16.5 x 28.5 inches (WxHxD), the Companion also meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213, a set of exacting quality control and safety standards for child restraint systems. It comes with a 1-year limited warranty. The Companion is also available in the following color schemes: Black/Tan, Unity Blue, Plum/Tan, Aqua/Black. What's in the Box
Car seat, shoulder pads, one belly pad, and an adjustable sun canopy.

Awkward, but good for tall babies August 22, 2006

If you have a tall family, the Britax infant carseat is for you. It allows for a baby height of 30 inches. The popular Graco only goes to 26 inches and our son outgrew that carseat at 10 weeks. You will find the Britax to be heavier, the clasp is harder to use, and it doesn't give you a loud, reassuring CLICK when you hook it to its base, but at least you will be able to use it for many months!

I love this car seat. After researching many different seats I decided to go with Britax after hearing so many great things. The seat is very comfortable for my daughter, every time we go out she is asleep in her seat within minutes. There is a head support with True Side Impact Protection in case of an accident, which is very reassuring to me. The material is very nice and easily washable. The straps on the five point harness are easy to adjust with just the push of a button and the pull of a strap. You can loosen or tighten the straps with the baby already in the seat. The base is set up for a car with LATCH but can also be used with a seat belt. When the seat is hooked onto the base, there is a loud click to let me know that she is locked in unlike the other reviewer mentioned. The seat is rather heavy. However, safety is more important to me than how much a seat weighs. This is one of the best seats on the market, a little pricey but what price would you put on your child's safety? My next car seat will be a Britax!

This thing is built like a BMW. When you get in a BMW, you feel safe, capable, and secure. This car seat may not be as cute as some but is that really what you are looking for in a car seat? It's strong, sturdy, adjustable, and has real side impact safety. You pay for quality, this seems to deliver.
High quality car seat December 29, 2007

Robust and well constructed, this carseat is top quality. We did have an issue with the head support during the first few weeks of use. It proved to be quite big for my son when he was a newborn. We had to pad the sides so that his head won't tilt sideways. This didn't last too long though since my boy grew big quickly and the head support now fits snugly.
We got the onyx color which on hindsight was probably not a great idea for our baby who gets hot easily. There are many times when we'd pull him out after a car ride sweaty at the back and behind his head. If you have a hot baby, we suggest getting a lighter color.
Other than these 2 issues, we have been VERY happy with this product.

A car seat is, by far, one of the most critical purchases a parent will make. This is not a purchase where "cutting costs" should even enter into the equation! Instead, the well being of your child must be paramount. After months and months of careful research and deliberation; talking to lots of other parents; calling the actual top companies and asking a plethora of questions; my husband and I registered for the Companion!
It was noted to me, that this is heavier than some of the other car seats, but in all honesty, you WANT a heavy and sturdy car seat! It easily attaches to the base and is compatible with not only Britax strollers, but several models of the Zooper strollers as well!!!! It is one of the best car seats on the market and I highly recommend it.
