NOV

2007

I initiallly looked at the Regent because my daugher is tall and thin, so she outgrew the shoulder height on every carseat without weighing enough to move to a booster (at 40 lbs, I think the ones that say 30 lbs aren't safe). As I researched more, I became a believer that a booster is not the best option even after 40 lbs. My daughter is now 6 and still hasn't hit 40 lbs, but is comfortable in her Regent and will be for a long time to come. She still has several shoulder height positions to grow into. The seat is heavy, but to me that adds to the feeling of safety - it is built like a tank! I am confident that it is the safest option for her, and while the price was painful, you can't put a price tag on your child's safety. The fabric is easy to wipe clean and she says the seat is comfortable. The LATCH connections installed easily in our Kia Sedona. I am about to purchase a second Regent for my 2 year old and have already used my niece's Regent to verify that two of these will fit on the middle row bench seat. My seat was involved in the safety upgrade - we received notice from Britax that they developed an even safer way of installing the seat. It wasn't exactly a recall, because the current method already exceeded standards, they just made it even better. We received a new LATCH strap, anti-slip strips, and instructions and were able to make the conversion without too much hassle. I appreciate a company that goes to the expense of making their products even better when they are already good. I wish that I had bought Britax from the start and plan to for my third child.
