Britax First Class

I bought this car seat for my daughter after she outgrew her baby car seat. I researched it as much as I could and I am so happy with the purchase! Not only was it affordable, when it arrived (I bought it online), I was so impressed with the padding and what appeared to be excellent quality materials. Installing was easy, or rather as easy as a car seat can get! It was so softly padded, I joke with my husband that I would sit in it if she didn't want to. The padding covered the entire area she would be in contact with. It can face backwards while your child is still small (0-13kgs) and then ... more

We originally bought a car seat that went with the buggy we bought, but I was never quite happy with the fit or safety of it. Plus my daughter out grew it very quickly. In the end after lots of shopping around I found the Britax First class on a web site. I liked the colour choices and even though it is expensive I found that by shopping around I could find it alot cheaper. DESCRIPTION Well, it has deep, softly padded side wings for side impact protection, it's ideal if your child (like my daughter did) has out grown an infant carrier but is not as yet ready to travel facing forward.

I spent ages trying to find a second stage car seat which fitted our two Vauxhall cars. I'd read a lot about the fact that 80% of car seats are incorrectly fitted, so I wnted to get it right. I also wanted a seat which would recline easily without the need to re-adjust the fitting. After some really duff advice and "help" from Mothercare, I went to Halfords where the fully trained staff were brilliant and really knew their products. I was assured that a First Class would fit both of our cars, and the fitter showed us how it is done. The advantage of the First Class over others is that there ... more

**Age group is birth to 3+** I got the first class when pregnant with my first baby as I have MS and didn't think I could manage with seats that you take in and out of the car. I just wanted to take the baby and leave the seat behind! You do have to have extra long seatbelts to fit the seat rearward facing and have quite a bit of room between the front seats. We had a Mondeo so it fitted with no problems at all. It is quite hard work to get strapped in correctly when it is rearward facing but then you don't have to take it out again so it's worth the effort. Due to this I gave it an easy ... more

I bought this car seat about 2 months ago when my son was 9 months old although I wish I'd seen it sooner!! I spotted the seat in Halfords and it had been reduced by a third at the time to £89.99. This may sound expensive but when you consider that it is one of the few car seats that is suitable from birth to approx 4 years then you can see the value. The seat is very well padded and is available in a number of different seat covers. I went with a black/grey style which is also fully removeable and washable, spare covers are available in selected fabrics only but you can find this out by ... more
