The Britax Regent, is certainly a wonderful, expensive, large car seat. Having said that, it is the safest car seat out in the market aside from the Sunshine Kids car seat for children over 40 plus pounds. When searching for car seats, I was not aware of the importance of having a child in a 5 point harness for as long as possible until I read a story of a four yearl old boy who lost his life while seated in a booster seat. Studies show, that it is beneficial to have your children in a five point harness for as long as possible.

The price of this seat is hefty but nothing compares to having the peace of mind and security that your child is in the best seat available.
The seat itself is large, too large for that matter- but it sure does look and feel cozy and safe.
We bought a 2008 highlander and could barely stretch out the seatbelt to accommodate this car seat. So be warned!


I personally would buy another one for our Echo- if the car was a little larger- for now, our only choice is the Sunshine Kids and Britax for our SUV.

I love the Britax line and really liked this seat but the base was to wide for our car. We had to return it for a smaller seat. The harness was easy to use and my daughter liked the feel but the base was to wide for our 2004 Jetta. We went with the Recaro Youth sport and love it.

Customer Buzz
I notice that without the recline bar the booster seat will not rest flat on the vehicles seat.

My daughter is 40pounds and she outgrew her original Britax Marathon harness height limit. She love her new car seat. The base is huge so it is more stable for my daughter's weight. There are enough room for both her arm or when she is reading books in the car. It is a very good quality car seat and for many years I have trusted Britax products. It is heavy and you might need assistance during installation. The only cons is that it is expensive, it cost double the price of other brands.

Customer Buzz
First of all I want to start by saying that I ordered this seat yesterday with Happy Mothers and it already arrived today without any expedited shipping which I thought was great!

The seat came and yes it is large and heavy! The DSL guy had a hard time getting it up the front steps to my house.

The seat was so easy to set up. I had used a Decathalon for my daughter before this so I was familiar with how a Britax seat works. It was fairly easy to install despite it's size. It is pretty cumbersome. I was able to do it by myself in about 15 minutes. I have a Minivan with Captain's chairs and this seat is taller than the chair and hangs over the seat slightly to give you an idea of the size.

All in all though, it was exactly what I expect from a Britax. I had purchased the Decathalon for my daughter 2 years ago and now that we have a second child, it was time to pass it on to him. I decided on this one because of the reviews and the fact that I don't think that I will need to purchase another car seat until my son is old enough and then I plan on purchasing him this seat as well.

Can't say enough about Britax. My children are my life and their safety is worth every penny.

Customer Buzz
This is a HUGH seat, but very very comfortable and safe. It fit well in my small SUV (Honda CRV)... but it does occupy almost the whole right side of it. I do need a recline bar to make it work (even though the menu say that you won't need one if you have the thether...). But I do able to put it in my car in less than 15 minutes.. and it is not even moving at all!! :)



Customer Buzz
The Regent is a great seat but we bought the seats by accident and called to cancel our order the next morning- Baby Age said they had been sent & gave us the rules to send it back which we had to do at our cost of 52.00- plus had we not called them back prior to receiving & had opened the box they would not have accepted the return. It was very hard to get a hold of a person at Baby Age. Even though we followedf the exact procedure Baby Age still tried to issue us a credit which we did not want- we purchased 2 seats over 500. They did rectify that although I had to wait on hold again for a very long time. Amazon charged us a 20 fee for order refusal which should not have been charged & they haven't responded to our email requesting that it be refunded. I will not purchase a large weight item again on Amazon & suggest others not do it as well- it was a total pain!

Customer Buzz
This seat is a great addition to our lives. I bought this seat for our 5 year old when I realized that we wanted more security than a booster seat. I've had Britax Roundabouts for both of my children, so of course I was glad to use Britax again. As always, Britax produces quality products!! I have used this seat in my minivan, my husbands truck, and my mom's expedition. It has fit differently in all three, but with experience I was able to get a great fit in each vehicle. My van is the only one that works excellent with the LATCH system and tether, the other two vehicles work best with the seatbelt and tether. My son is extrememly comfortable in his seat, and my 2 year old already begs to ride in it. It is big, heavy, etc.; but it is worth all of that. If you are serious about wanting a larger seat to grow with your child, I would highly recommend it.

Customer Buzz
This product is the best. We have 2 other Britax seats and I feel so much better knowing my son is now in a 5 point harness even in his booster! It is big and takes up a lot of space, but it is so worth it.

Customer Buzz
This carseat, as other Britax seats, is excellent. It is extremely well made, sturdy, comes with adjustments so your child can use it as long as possible, and does not budge one millimeter, once installed properly in your vehicle. I love the little straps on the sides of the seat itself, to hook the plastic clasp of the harness into, so they belts aren't in the way when my child climbs in. Some reviewers have mentioned some difficulties with installation, but if the directions are followed, it is not difficult at all: (If you will be using the tether, make sure the strap is pulled out from the back of the seat, before latching the seat in place). The bar that is included easily is inserted into two holes in the back of the seat--this greatly improves stability of the seat once latched in. The belts with hooks in the back of the seat go UNDER the bar in the back, and click into your LATCH system of your car. (I have not tried the seatbelt installation). Once they click in, then tighten them by reaching through two openings on the FRONT of the seat, not the side of the seat. This increases the amount of belt you can pull on, improving stability. Finally, if you are using the tether, latch the hook onto your tether device of your car, and pull strap tightly. Your seat should not budge now.

Customer Buzz
This is a decent seat with many nice features, but beware- it is enormous. If you have other seats in the car, it will not fit next to them. It does seem sturdy, safe, and comfortable.

    We love this carseat so much that we have one for both of our children! Last year I was in a car wreck with my 3 year old we T-boned another car going about 40mph. My daughter didn't have a scratch on her and she never even cried! Our '07 Odyssey's frame was so crunched we couldn't get the sliding doors open, but she never knew! I cannot say enough good things about this carseat. Most people that see them in their car seats call it the recliner because of it is so comfy looking. I recommend this carseat to all of my friends. It is super easy to adjust and cleaning the cover is just as easy! If you are looking for a safe carseat you cannot go wrong with this one!

    This is a great seat! We bought our first seat when my 2 year old was 38 lbs and to tall for the 5pt harness in the Alpha Omega Elite seat he had. I did a lot of research and at the time (2007) this was the only seat on the market that had a 5 pt harness until 80lbs, so for me there was little choice. We purchased the seat and my son loves it. We ended up buying a second one for my husband's car (b/c still far to young for a booster seat). It fit great both in my mini van and my husband's 2002 Honda Civic. Since the original purchase we have had a second child and are currently looking to buy another for our 16 month old. This seat is VERY easy to install, i have never had any issues with it, it stands up well to the abuse my child puts it through. It is also one of the top seats safety wise (like all britax seats are).

    We have a large 2 1/2 year old son and my younger son is about to turn one and it was time to purchse a front facing car seat. We are a Britax family based on their superb reputation for safety and we have been very happy with our Britax marathon car seat. We decided to stick with britax and go for the Regent as we knew this was the last seat we would ever have to buy for my older son. With all of the safety reports recommending 5 point harness instead of booster seats as they get older, I was especially pleased that this seat would take us all the way up to 80 pounds. So we passed the Marathon along to my younger son and purchased the Regent as our secnd seat. Truth be told it is not that much bigger than the marathon and fits perfectly in my Honda Odyssey and Volvo XC90. Installation sounded a lot harder in the manual than it actually was and we had it installed in 10 minutes with the LATCH system.Best of all, my son loves his new "big boy chair" and loves the pockets for storing his toys, blankie, etc. I would definitely recommend this seat.

    We have big boys and went through cars seats rather quickly. I discovered the regent and fell in love! I feel like my boys are safe and they are able to be in this seat for many more years. my boys are 3 and 6 and love how comfortable these seats are. I think like all Britax products I have purchased they are well worth the money.

    Customer Buzz
    We purchased this car seat for our oldest daughter, who is almost 3 & 30 pounds, so our youngest could use her sister's old Marathon! We have an Acura MDX (not a large backseat) and both the Regent & Marathon fit fine! The Regent is on our passenger side & the Marathon is backward in the center (our youngest is not yet 1). The seat is large, but obviously not too large to fit in our car. Our daughter still naps easily in it. We are hoping this is the last car seat we will need to buy!! Our only complaint is that the seat is a bit lower than the Marathon, but after thinking about it we realized this seat really is designed for children a bit larger (although her weight is within the capacity range of the seat). She can't see as well out of the window...it doesn't seem to bother her!!

    My daughter has been using this for a year and she likes it a lot. Big, comfort and safe. I am buying another one for my 16-month old next month in the big Britaz annual sale.

    Customer Buzz
    Loved it. After reading every review on forward facing car seats and watching every horrific video out there on the benefits of the 5 pt harness, we bought this for our little girl. Well worth the money. It seems so much more secure than the rear facing infant seat we had her in (even though it was the top rated one per Consumer Reports).
    She likes it too. She doesn't scream as much as she used to (she's always had an aversion to car seats), but that may be because she enjoys facing forward.
    I was concerned about the size, but we have a mid siz SUV and although it is a tight squeeze, we can still fit in 2 adults in the back seat with her.
    We were lucky enough to have snagged the car seat at a super low price with free S&H, so the cost issue wasn't an issue at all.

    Customer Buzz
    I bought this car seat because the 5-point harness straps are higher than the Graco Nautilius. It is so huge, my son has very little leg room. Same issue in both my 04 Grand Prix and 08 Uplander van. I have no idea how he will be able to use this in a year or two. The other cons are it is hard to install and expensive. Even the car seat technicians had trouble installing it.

    Customer Buzz
    I am very diappointed that the Britax Regent or Frontier does not work with older vechicles. I have a 98 Grand Prix and my car is not equipped with the top tether. I was told by Britax that this seat would not work in my vechicle and you HAD to use the top tether. So there went my two options for a 5point harness up to 80 pounds...

    Does anyone use this seat without the top tether?

    Customer Buzz
    I am a nurse and at the time I purchased this, my son was 4 yrs old. Many people I know are so quick to get their kids into normal booster seats when they outgrow the normal 5 point harness. They buy these cute boosters and use the normal seatbelts that come in the car. They are easier and more portable. It freaks me out! Two winters ago I was working when a report of a rollover came in where a young girl was thrown through a windshield 150 feet and died. She was 7 years old. Your first thought is "Was she in a carseat?". She was. It was a normal booster with the standard seatbelt. She was too small for that and flew right out. It was sad. I heard the mom yelling for her daughter whom she knew had died...all because of the carseat. There were other children in the car that were fine....they were older and big enough for the normal seatbelt or younger and in the 5 point restaint still. That 7 yr old girl was at the unlucky age were most parents feel a normal seatbelt is fine. Many just don't know better. My son was still under 40lbs so he still fit in his 5 point carseat (Evenflow Triumph which I really like still), but I knew he wouldn't always. My son is thin, so I knew he was way too small for a normal booster! As soon as I got home, I researched carseats and ordered this one online from amazon. It was worth every penney. My family thinks it is crazy I would spend that money on a carseat. They didn't see what I saw. It is good up to 80 pounds!! He will use it forever!! I have it installed in a Mitsubishi Endeavor (midsize SUV). The carseat is bigger and bulkier, but it is worth it. I have a 4 month old baby now and will also buy one for her when she outgrows her infant carseat. It is annoying that the belt doesn't click..only on 1 side. After he is buckled, I do the "pull test" where I just grab above the buckle and yank hard. If they stay latched, we're good. The straps have managed to tangle which isn't a big deal, more of a nuisance. My son seems comfortable in it. I bought those "toddler" pillows (Amazon) for the sides that easily fling to the back when not used or you can use just one side or both for head support when he is sleeping. He is 5 1/2 yrs old now and only about 45 lbs. We have many many more years of use with this carseat. Most people go through life never being involved in a serious crash and that is good, but if you are, you would have wished your child was in this.

    *************************************************************************
    IF YOUR CHILD IS ESPECIALLY IN AN SUV OR TRUCK.....PROVEN TO ROLL OVER EASIER THAN A CAR......BUY A CARSEAT WITH A 5 POINT RETRAINT HARNESS!!!

    Cars don't roll as easily, but SUVS especially do, so buy this for your child. Buy any 5 point restraint carseat. Even a cheaper one is 1000% better than a normal booster and car seatbelt!!!!!!!!!
