My husband is an emergency room doctor, so he sees all too often the dangers in unsafe and poorly secured carseats, so this was a BIG decision for us. I already knew of the Britax brand from when I was a nanny for a family who had one for each car and raved about them. My husband spent hours researching all brands of carseats online and then once we settled on Britax, he spent more time researching which Britax seat. Also, this seat received at "A" review from the book, Baby Bargains. On a lighter note, we chose the cow print because what kid doesn't love a cow?! :) We can't wait to put our precious cargo in this safe, adorable seat!

I did a lot of research before I choose the car seat I'd get my daughter. This seat has excellent safety ratings and is attractive to boot!
I got this seat hoping it would carry us from birth to a few years, but after a few weeks taking her in and out of the seat and finding out the seat, even though it reclines, was still too vertical and her head would sometimes slump forward. It didn't seem to bother her as she was usually asleep but it worried me.
I hoped to save money and not have to buy an infant car seat, but it is really worth the convenience and is more compatible in positioning.

I bought this seat thinking it was the safest for my dughter and everytime I put her in it, she cries. She does not like the seat, it is always a fight putting her in it. It seams that it does not sit correctly no matter how much you asjust the seat it still does not sit right. So I now have to buy a new seat so my daugther will be more comfortable. The most expensive is not always the best.

This was the second convertible car seat my husband and I purchased for our son. We chose this one not only because it had excellent safety ratings but also because it has a small footprint which made it perfect for the backseat of our Chevy Colorado extended cab. The Colorado is equipped with the LATCH system but we had difficulty with most safety seats having a large footprint and not fitting on the truck seat. This one is comfortable for my son and it is perfect for the back seat of our small cab!

I bought this for my 6 month son who is a tall boy at 28 1/2 inches....and 19 pounds! I was so excited when we received it until I sat my son in it. He looked squished....and the depth of the seat was tiny! There was NO way he would fit into this seat when he was 2-3. I even adjusted the headrest up...but still looked squished width wise also! So we returned it to Target and ordered the Boulevard. It arrived a couple of days ago and what a difference. It is so roomy and he looks so comfy in it! It also fits in my SUV (Toyota Landcruiser) wonderfully and the install was a piece of cake! If you have big kids I would NOT recommend this car seat...but for average kiddos I think it would be okay..but why not spend a couple more bucks and get a LOT more room...and a lot more use!

I am soooo disappointed! I wanted this seat so bad, and with all of the awesome reviews; no one said anything about the toxic smell. I can’t try the car seat out because it smells like a chemical plant! Wow! It is out in my garage and I can still smell it! I am scared that it isn’t safe for my baby to be sitting in and surrounded by the fumes. Is it just me, did I get a messed up one, or does every Britax smell like it was dipped in a vat of toxic goo?! It may be the safest seat in the world but why does it smell so dangerous...

My daughter cried every time she got in her chicco infant carrier/carset. She also gets very hot and we were afriad this would be too hot for her in the summer. The fabric is very breathable and does well in any temp, and does not make my daughter's had sweat (even 100 degree weather). When we purchased the Britax Diplomat she not only doesn't cry, she actually laughs and enjoys being in it. We had it rear facing for a few months then switched to front facing which she enjoys even more. She is comfortable and the seat is easily adjustable. It is easy to install and not too bad to switch from car to car. I love the quiet happy drive time and my daughter loves the comfy seat. Well worth the money, especially if you have a fussy baby.

We love this seat. We drive a Ford Focus and my husband is 6'3" and it fits great in the back middle seat. We've used it both forward and rear facing. My husband had more room in the rear facing position than he did with the infant seat so that was nice. It only goes up to 40 pounds, but it's worth it if you drive a small car to have all the safety features, but more space. The buckles are easy to use and the strap adjustment in the front is wonderful for getting them in and out. It does usually take both of us to get it in the car as secure as we like it. One of us ends up almost sitting in it, but after installing it about 3 times we have down to less than a few minutes. Our son seems happy and secure when he rides in it.

I have had the Britax Diplomat for over a month now and I LOVE it. It is easy to move between cars. It is really easy to adjust the seat restraint as well. It fits perfectly in my 2002 Honda Passport and my 1994 Cutlass Ciera. I highly suggest this car seat!

We bought this car seat because it had the "True Side Impact Protection", and wasn't as big and bulky as the Boulevard. It fits in our vehichle nicely, has a nice cover that is very soft, and very easy to use. It may only go up to 40 lbs, but by then our daughter will be ready for a booster anyway. It is worth the money to know baby is so well protected and comfortable.
