I would whole heartedly recommend britax first class si car seat, we bought one for our son and it saved his life in my opinion. I had an accident when driving with my 16 month old son, where my car rolled three times and stopped on its roof, which my son slept through. My son was completely unharmed in this accident, and left the scene of the accident after a quick inspection from the paramedics at the roadside home to bed. Upon inspecting the carseat the following day there appeared to be no damage anywhere on the carseat although we did purchase another one that day, these carseats may seem a little expensive compared to ones that are being sold in most supermarkets and other places, I believe it is a relatively low price for your child's safety. Although any carseat is only any good if it is fitted correctly, and with most people not fitting them correctley is putting our children in harms way. I would urge people to do some research on the carseat they intend to buy and have it fitted correctly, mist places now offer this service when buying a carseat, check that it is compatible for your car and if for any reason your fitting it yourself spend the time on fitting it correctly. My son is now 7 and I still swear by this carseat.

I have had this car seat for 6 years now!
I would recommend the britax first class to anyone. It has served my 2 children wonderfully. I had no problems with the fitting once I learned how to fit it correctly. My 1st child was in it until 3 years old and my 2nd child (who was slightly bigger for her age) was in it until 2 and a half years old. Because it has an alternative belt route it has fit any car I have had, including a Ford Escort which are quite difficult to get a well fitted car seat for.
I paided £130 for the seat but have had use for 2 children so really only £65 per child!! My 3rd child is almost ready for the seat as well so will be even better value for money!!
For the people who had problems with fitting and shoulder straps, it's like anything you buy really. If you practise at it, it becomes easier. Or maybe it's because i've had it so long!
Overall an excellent buy!

Yesterday my wife had an accident on the motorway, spun off and went backwards into the tree. My daughter was in a Britax First Class Si on the back seat.

The boot of our Honda Civic is not really there any more. The passenger door on the side my daughter was on is crumpled. The car is a complete write off. My wife was cut out of the car because she had severe back pain. Thankfully she's OK but can't move much today because she's in a lot of pain and is badly bruised.

My 11 month old daughter has a small scratch on her left arm.

I think we were very lucky indeed but the fire crew that cut my wife out of the car told me that we had an exellent car seat.

Unsuprisingly, I would recommend this car seat wholeheartedly.

We had difficulty finding a seat to fit both our cars. We've had this Britax First Class Car Seat for nearly two years now and it's great. It has an "alternative" way to fit it, which is why it's so versatile. Children like the high seating postion because they can look around better, so we have happy journeys. We are about to buy a second as we now need it for two children.

Easy to use, nice reclining position can be altered with one hand. My daughter looks very comfy in the seat and is well supported. Very pleased with it. Struggled to get the pink though, got it from boots.com eventually.

This Britax First Class SI car seat is easy to fit either rear facing or forward facing. I found that my previous car seat was not correctly fitted when i had it checked by a qualified fitter. I was shocked to find this the case. The seat belt lock on my Ford Escort was too high making it a loose fit. It was recommended that I change the type of seat I had. This seat is able to be fitted in most types of cars regardless where the seatbelt lock is situated. My little boy is eight months old and enjoys his new seat. It looks neat and is very well padded. I feel so much better knowing he is safe and secure. It was worth every penny.

Britax Car Seats - As I am a childminder, and a mother of two, I need to look around for good value for money and quality. Having read a few reviews on the net about this car seat and knowing Britax quality I decided to hunt around to see who would give me the best price. Prices were between £99 with free delivery, up to £120 plus delivery. No competition really. All the children that use it are comfy and have no trouble falling asleep as it can slide easily into several different reclining positions. An excellent buy, so much so I am going to buy another one.
