General Comments

The Britax Isofix Base Infant Car Seat is an excellent seat and has suited my daughter well from the age of 9 months. She has always found it comfortable. It's probably the safest car seat on the market (according to Which? reviews), which should be enough for anyone. It's not cheap, but to coin a biking phrase, only buy a £50 helmet if you have a £50 head.
The only problem is that the Isofix latches are quite tricky in some cars. If the isofix brackets in your car are difficult to get to (they vary a lot between cars - sometimes they are low down under the base of the back seat or hidden behind the upholstery) the isofix attachments in the Britax tend to retract. This wasn't a problem in a Honda Accord, Honda Civic, or Lexus IS250 but made it really tricky to fit to the grandparents Nissan. If you don't need to take it in and out of the car, it's not a problem.
The harness buckle is alright but there is a foam pad that sometimes gets in the way, especially when your child wears winter coats.
