A Miracle!
"This car seat was a life saver! Our daughter is almost 4 months now and cried everytime we placed her in her infant seat, except on the day home from the hospital. We couldn't drive down the road without listening to screams - the only time we went anywhere was if she was asleep and often she woke up the minute we put her in her seat.

Britax doesn't stand by their product
"I bought this for my daughter when she turned one and have now used it for a year and a half.

"On July 2nd my daughter and I were in a car accident. I was hit head on and it totaled my car. I broke my foot and was pretty bruised and banged up but my daughter was completely fine!

"I bought this seat when my son was 10 months old. He was 19lbs & 28 inches long, [born a preemie of 4lbs 7oz]. He fit really good in this seat at 10 months.
