I read as many reviews as I could before buying this car seat for my first daughter. It stood out in CR testing (CR no longer publisher crash ratings after they botched testing one year).

Our experience has been very positive. The base mounted very well in three different cars we have had - the first with a seat belt and two with the latch system.

This car seat has very good head support and side impact protection. The head support is inflatable so it adjusts for different size kids.

It is heavy, but I don't want to buy a flimsy car seat - what is the point of that?


Both of my kids have been in the Companion. We chose it because it was the ONLY car seat that wasn't some junk made in China. Britax seats are the only American made car seats out there. Trust me, I looked. As a bonus, they are one of the safest. The companion is a bit heavier than others but that's why it can hold bigger and heavier children than the other brands. The side impact protection is an awesome feature. Everyone is amazed when they see it. Luckily we have not had to test it out yet.
We liked it so much, we have a Britax Boulevard for the eldest. We will be getting another Britax as the youngest out grows the Companion.


My husband and I bought this seat because of Britax's reputation. We LOVE it. The seat is very sturdy and easy to use. The head protector is wonderful. We feel very safe having our little guy in this seat. We recommend it to everyone we know with infants.

Some people have complained about the seat being too heavy. I don't find it too bad. I feel the heavier the better though, because it means my little boy is in a study, non-flimsy, safe seat.


Having searched far and wide for a US made car seat for our first-born, we settled on the Britax Companion along with the Britax Vigour stroller.

To say the least, we were deeply disappointing when we received the products. Both the stroller and car-seat are short on quality, clumsy and poorly designed. It is not worth the price being charged. As for safety, I hope we never have to find out.

The product quality which one would expect from a child product is not there. It is heavy and if you are not well-built, it is going to be difficult to carry around. Neither does it operate smoothly and efficiently.

If Britax is supposedly better than the other child product companies, I wonder about the quality of the products from other companies.

Anyway, this would be the last Britax product we are ever going to purchase.



I am grateful to say I don't know how it would hold up in a car cash. Our son is 4 months old and loves this car seat, seems very comfortable. It is ok to pack around, probably no different then any other one, maybe a little heavier, but thats what makes it so safe. We bought 2 bases so we would have one in each vehichle, works well. I want to know my son is in one of the best made car seats. I like the color black also.


I have hated this seat since day one. First, it is heavier than most seats. So, once your baby really starts growing (which happens quickly) it is just too darn heavy to carry. Second, the black is just way too hot, it's like putting your baby in a cooker (at least in the south) Third, the seat with base takes up waaaayyyy too much room in the back of the car (and I have a mid size suv) Forth, the cords are constantly getting tangled and it does not snap easily. Fifth, mine is very touchy to get in and out of the base and stroller--sometimes gets stuck. Add all this up with a baby who hates being in his car seat and it is not fun whatsoever.

On a positive note, one thing that is great about it is the canopy. Definitely get a car seat with a canopy- this has been invaluable to have.

I wish I had shopped around. But, being a first time Mom it's really hard to know what you'll need in a car seat. I would definitely NOT recommend this seat.


We bought this seat after weeks of comparison shopping and have used it for our son for 8 months; he is now in the Britax Boulevard. The base attached VERY securely in the car thanks to the rebound bar ... this was the decision maker for us ... this seat wasn't wiggling anywhere! The seat truly is perfection except the chest clip. The chest clip does not snap together like most others. This clip has a shoulder strap that is permanently in place and the other shoulder strap slides into the other side of the clip. At 6 months my son was able to pull on the clip and the shoulder strap would slip right out. Just recently he was able to pull the shoulder strap loose and wiggle his shoulder out from under the strap! And no, the shoulder straps were not lose ... he was snug in his seat. The only reason we moved him into the Boulevard at 8 months was because of this ... otherwise he still fit nicely in this seat still. Otherwise ... this seat would be perfect!


You can't go wrong with any Britax product. This infant carseat is somewhat cumbersome, but it is for the baby's safety and protection. The cover is easy to wash and looks brand new after it air dries. Another great feature is that the sun shade gives ample coverage to shade my baby. The Peg Perego infant carseat did not have a large sunshade (I had the Peg for my first child). I also like that I can put the Britax Companion carseat in another car, which does not require the base (you can't do that with the Peg). I also love that this infant car seat attaches to the Britax Preview and Vigour strollers without special clips.


The Britax car seat is well worth the money. The seat offers great head support and securely holds my child. I am extremely satisfied and would recommend to anyone considering this car seat.


This car seat has a bounce rod on the back which makes it too big to fit in most of the cars. I was advised by the Plano Police Car Seat Inspections to return it
