Britax

Britax

Britax is a well-known, multi-generational company that is an industry leader in the design and manufacture of a complete line of child seats, including:

• Infant car seats for use rear-facing with newborns and infants.
  
• Convertible child seats for use rear-facing and forward-facing with growing children.
• The All-in-One car seat “grows” with your child for up to 10 years, convertible from an infant car seat through the booster seat level.
• Harness-2-Booster child seats are designed for use forward-facing with a harness for up to 65 pounds, converting to a belt-positioning booster seat as the child grows.
• Belt-positioning booster seats for use with children who weigh up to 120 pounds.
• In addition to industry-leading car seats, Britax also has a line of stylish and safe strollers that are simply loved by parents.
  

The company started in 1938 making safety products for the automotive industry, moving into child safety products several decades into their existence. This company worked with Volkswagen to develop the Isofix system, which is popularly known as the LATCH system here in the United States. Britax waived their patent rights to this system so that all cars could use the LATCH system and children will be safer throughout the world.
 

Britax CarSeats

When it comes to super safe car seats, the name Britax almost immediately comes to mind. And it should. Britax is a baby gear company that has spent endless hours on engineering, testing, research, and ensuring that it finds and keeps the top talent when it comes to product development. They have been getting attention for their commitment to safety and innovative design for over 80 years, and the company still continues to lead the way when it comes to extremely protective car seats and strollers that do not sacrifice comfort and style. You shouldn’t feel any doubts when putting your child into a Britax car seat, as they have consistently been ranked #1 in safety technology by industry safety experts, such as the IIHS, NHTSA, and the Ecology Center. To reach this high standard, Britax works with government bodies, car manufacturers, child passenger safety experts, and parents to create high-quality products.

You may remember some of the early models of Britax Car Seats from your early childhood (or your little brother’s or sister’s), with models such as the Husky, Parkway, Monarch, Bodyguard, Companion, Wizard, Roundabout, Freeway, Starriser, and more. First hitting the US market in 1996, many of these models were innovators for their time, setting the new industry standards that other car seat manufacturers would need to keep up with. If you’re shopping for your grandkids, you may have had a Britax Star Rider, which was released in 1966.

Today, Britax models such as the Marathon, Advocate, One4Life, Boulevard, Endeavours, B-Safe, and more feature the great innovations from their predecessors and carry on the proud tradition of safety and innovation that Britax is known for. 

Safety at Its Best

Britax products have revolutionary features that aim to keep your child safe in the event of a crash, such as side-impact and SafeCell impact protection. Britax set higher standards in side-impact protection by designing external cushions with energy-diverting compression, the first of its kind in America. They also raised the bar for head and neck stability when they created energy-absorbing headrests. Then, in 2010, Britax created their SafeCell technology to add even more protection for your child, absorbing energy and limiting movement better than ever before in the event of a collision.

Britax Car Seat Installation

A tremendously safe car seat isn’t safe if it isn’t installed properly, so when Britax discovered that the majority of car seats are installed incorrectly, they introduced the revolutionary ClickTight installation system that made installing a car seat easier than ever before.

Stain-Resistant Car Seats

If that isn’t enough, Britax developed Nanotex, a premium luxe fabric that uses nanotechnology to keep messes from setting into the fabric. Nanotex changes the fiber on a molecular level, so it permanently resists spills and stains. This ensures that the moisture (the spill or “something else”) doesn’t sink into the fabric and is super easy to clean. The Nanotex line is free of heavy metals, phenols, phthalates, odor and skin sensitizers, PFOS, and PFOA. It is fire-retardant, does not irritate skin, nor does it pose any threat to air quality. Thus an odor-resistant, stain-resistant product that’s safe for your baby means no more worries about the leaking pouch of grape juice (well, beyond the clothes that may be stained).

Britax Strollers

For a company so daft at creating some of the world's safest and most innovative car seats, it follows that they would bring their same level of quality engineering to strollers, as well. For example, Britax Strollers feature the Click and Go system, which allows you, as a parent, to easily remove your Britax infant car seat and insert it into the receptors on the Britax stroller, creating a secure connection and providing safety you can trust. The Click & Go System is integrated into the design of all Britax infant car seats. Britax strollers also are designed to fold quickly using just one hand. They also feature a linked brake system, so by pushing on a single pedal, you can lock both rear wheels of the stroller.
Our Favorite Strollers from Britax Include (but are not limited to):

• The Britax Pathway Stroller is a great mid-level, 4-wheel stroller that is certainly high-end, but without the luxury price at which most strollers of this quality sell. It’s smooth, easy-to-push, and great for navigation in busy places.
• The B-Lively Double stroller, featuring all-wheel suspension and a lightweight design, provides room for double the baby gear in the extra-large under-seat storage basket with convenient dual front access.
• The B-Free Stroller makes family life easy and convenient. Seven storage pockets and an extra-large storage basket offer more room for baby gear.
