Britax Romer First Class Plus - Cosmos Black

Lost a star because it we couldn’t get along with it rear-facing.We have many offspring and have owned many car seats over the years. Safety recommendations have altered since we had our eldest. As a result, I wanted a good seat at good value; firstly, so that we could keep him rear-facing for as long as possible and secondly, preferably achieve this without remortgaging to buy it. Previous experience dictates that he will be grown out of it before we can blink. Unfortunately, the way the seatbelt has to be configured to secure this seat rear-facing, results in an extremely difficult situation when trying to get the actual child into the seat. This was the same in both cars. I was pretty sure initially that it was user error because it seemed that daft but I read and re-read the instructions and we definitely had not made a mistake. The seatbelt comes out forwards and then around the back of the seat, meaning it travels diagonally across the door opening. Which in turn because the seat is quite high means, that to get the child into it you have to somehow post them between the fixed structure of the seat and the torte seatbelt and then try and lower them into it with a belt in your face. They are probably screaming and back arching at this point. Everyone who’s ever had a one year plus old in their care for any length of time, knows that they’ve no patience for any kind of incompetence when it comes to these things. Trying to get a wriggling toddler into a seat without wrapping him around the seat belt was nigh on impossible. We basically abandoned it and went back to the Group 0 and literally used that until we really couldn’t anymore and at this point we were happy to travel with him forward-facing.Now we are using it in the forward-facing position, we are very pleased with it. It’s not too bulky, so two other car seats fit alongside it safely in our tank. It is easy to secure. Loud click so there’s no doubt whether it’s fastened or not. Easy to tighten and he is clearly comfortable. He looks snug and protected. It is definitely better quality than the Group 1 Maxicosi we once had for the older ones. The cover is soft. Haven’t washed it yet. It’s light enough to move from one car to the other. It is extremely easy to secure with the seatbelt in forward-facing position.In a nutshell, my advice is if you plan on rear-facing and you only have seatbelt fixation as an option you will probably have the same issue with any seat. If you have isofix- use that and keep these ones for forward-facing.

Bought another car seat to use it rear facing and found that my car's seatbelt was not long enough for it. After reading loads of reviews i have found this Britax which is far better than my expectations. I have first used it on a long jurney and my little one loved it. Easy to setup and it reclines enough for a comfortable sleeping position.

Einbauversuch in einem VW T4 hinten links auf der 3er Rücksitzbank. Sitz ist in rückwärtsgerichteter Position nicht stabil zu befestigen (siehe Video). Geht sofort zurück!Update: Hab mir jetzt den Maxi Cosi Tobi geholt. Einfach zu montieren, sitzt bombenfest und macht zudem einen hochwertigeren Gesamteindruck. Günstiger ist er auch noch etwas.

This car seat is excellent, it's nice and narrow so fits compactly on the back seat as our car doesn't have a lot of room in the back. But is sturdy, and high enough that you don't need to lean down too far to place the baby in the seat.Our little one is three months old and the newborn insert gives her plenty of cushioning and cradles her head so that she can sleep comfortably in it.There are only two cons for this chair, one being that the straps are quite hard to tighten so you really need to pull to get them to the correct tightness. And where the seatbelt comes around the chair it is right in the way when getting baby in and out so it's easier to move it up over the top of the seat while doing this and then you need to remember to put the belt back across the side of the chair before setting off which is not particularly ideal.

This car seat was bought for our granddaughter and she absolutely loves it checked out car seats in my local Halford store before looking online and decided to go for this one after reading all the reviews and it is so easy to fit in my Honda Jazz,
