Advantages: Easy strapping in (the kids), and easy fitment (to the car)
Disadvantages: Quick release button won't be a quick escape

...Not sure what the SI stands for, but it's a good quality car seat for your kids. Our twins went into these seats from the age of 10 months, and were quite happy with the arrangements. had our twins in maxi-cosy rear facing seats from birth, but these Britax seats were their first forward facing seats. Straps are an item worthy of comment.... There are 2 shoulder straps, big loops that come from behind baby's bum, to the shoulder pad. The two loops each have a buckle clip, free sliding on the strap. When the child is placed into the seat, the straps must be brought around the arms, and brought together in the middle before inserting into thebuckle, which is attached to a centre strap, through the seat base. In effect, once buckled, you have shoulder , side, and groin straps, connected through one buckle. Despite... Read review

Advantages: Long lasting,reclines and looks good!
Disadvantages: heavy and awkward to fit

...It was a nightmare trying to find a car seat that actually fits in my ford fiesta!Plus it 's only a 3 door that i have, so trying to get in the back to sort the seat out was a pain. Eventually, i found the britax first class.It wouldnt have been my ideal choice because of the dull colours on the material, but we had to go with it, as it was the only one that fitted. this is a second stage seat, so you can use it from birth, right up until the child is four. From birth up to approx 9 months(201b)it has to be rearward facing in the front or back of the car. when the child reaches 201b, you can have it forward facing, and use it until the child reaches four. N.B>>i just want to point out, that you shouldnt have your baby forward facing until they they are at least 201b in weight, this is because there neck wont be supported enough... Read review

Advantages: well padded, easy tu use , cosy
Disadvantages: fiddly when moving from car to car

...the seat must always be fully reclined. In the forward facing position it has a 5 position reclining handle from fully upright to fully reclined which is easily adjustable by lifting the handle and sliding the seat forward without disturbing your child. It has the usual 5 point harness strap which is easily adjustable with four shoulder heights. The seat is fitted using the diagonal belt and there are a number of seat belt locks to ensure the seat is well fitted and although Halfords offer a free fitiing service, the instructions are easy to understand. It can be a little fiddly when you first try and when moving the seat from car to car. Although suitable for most cars, all makes, models and years of car differ and it is not guaranteed but you can check before you buy on 01264386034 or by visiting fit-finder on the website www...
