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 the buckle having a quick release button, it seems neccessary to release the 'length' on the harness straps prior to releasing the Q/R buckle, or the child will still be restrained by the 2 seperated shoulder strap loops, and will not be easily removed from the vehicle. In everyday use, the straps must be lengthened before rleasing the child . In an emergency, this could be an issue, pressing the red button may not easily release the child. A strap cutter may be a worthwhile investment.
