Guest's Review of Britax First Class Car Seat

Overall Rating

Good Points

It is easy to recline.

It is good that it can be used from birth, and with my son we used it both forward and rear facing.

The strap twisting/jamming is not so evident with older children as you don't have to tighten the straps so far.


Bad Points

Very damaging to car upholstery
Very hard to change strap positions
Jamming and twisting straps that are hard to tighten


General Comments

I have to say that the Britax First Class Car Seat is the worst item of "Babyware" I have bought. The shape of the underneath is extremely damaging to car upholstery and padding resulting in stretched leather, and indentations.
Adjusting the straps to the next height position requires your hand and wrist to bend to positions that are virtually impossible.
I contacted Britax shortly after buying this seat as the straps twist up and get jammed every single time I tighten them. They could not provide a satisfactory solution and sent a new yoke cover, which was actually for a different model.
Now, I have learnt how to unjam the straps at the back, and I have to do it EVERY time I strap my daughter in. The return stitching on the end of the straps behind the seat hook over part of the plastic moulding. I FIND IT INFURIATING!!
