The Companion features push-button release LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors renowned for their flexibility and ease of use. These connectors also come complete with strap storage so you can install the Companion through traditional seat belts if you wish. The built-in lock-offs provide a tight, secure installation in minutes, and are also easy to reach. Plus, you'll never have to worry about missing parts!

The recline adjust knob helps the seat perfectly fit your vehicle by allowing you to make needed adjustments with just one hand. The soft and supportive straps fit snugly over your baby's shoulders, collarbone and hips to provide a stable fit, and they can be quickly adjusted by a one-pull strap. The tangle-free, five-point harness offers three harness heights and is made of durable polyester webbing to guard against wear and tear. And the head pad has adjustable, air-filled pockets that you can expand or deflate to custom fit around your baby's head to ensure comfort, especially at nap time. For added convenience, the infinitely adjustable base height guarantees a personalized fit, and the plush, removable fabric cover is washable.

The Companion also gives you the additional peace of mind of engineered True Side Impact ProtectionTM. Deep side walls and head support provide advanced cushioning and shock-absorption in side impact collisions, helping to reduce the risk of injury to your child. Additionally, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) impact foam lining around the baby's head and torso absorbs energy in side and rear impacts, cradles baby's head to keep it away from protruding parts, cushions violent side to side movements, and creates a comfortable resting spot. An anti-rebound bar in the car seat's base also helps reduce movement in the event of an accident.
Accessories and Options For an Enjoyable Ride
Car trips should be pleasant for babies, which is why the Companion comes with extra shoulder room and soft shoulder pads, a belly pad, and an adjustable sun canopy for UV protection from every angle. For babies weighing less than seven pounds, the Britax Companion Low Birth Weight Foam can be purchased separately to provide additional support. The Companion is also compatible with the Britax Vigour and Britax Preview strollers, making it a snap to enjoy a complete "grab and go" travel system as your baby grows.
The Companion is also certified for airplane travel, and includes a base that conveniently stays in the car, so you can transport a sleeping baby without worrying about waking them up. Weighing 16 pounds and measuring 18.75 x 16.5 x 28.5 inches (WxHxD), the Companion also meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213, a set of exacting quality control and safety standards for child restraint systems. It comes with a 1-year limited warranty.
The Companion is also available in the following color schemes: Onyx, Black/Tan, Plum/Tan, Aqua/Black.

Okay, but not great
We borrowed this seat from a friend for our 2nd baby. It was okay, but not the kind of quality and ease of use I have come to expect from Britax. As many reviewers have mentioned, it's *heavy.* I realize this is a trade-off. If you want a seat the holds a bigger baby and is strong and safe, it's going to be heavy. The TSIP head cushions are a nice safety feature, but they are also super-hot in the summer. My little girl was always a sweaty mess. The handle can be stiff. The canopy is not great. It was stiff and difficult to adjust. The fabric feels plasticy and did not hold up well. It has piping going across the canopy in several places to help it keep it's shape. After a while, the fabric covering the piping started fraying and wearing off. The canopy also got several white streaks on it, and I have no idea what from - maybe from rubbing on door jambs? As for the extended weight limits, we found them unnecessary. By the time our kids stopped sleeping in the car all the time (around 6 months), we moved them up into a convertible seat. No one wants to carry a 30lb baby around in a pumpkin seat!!
On the plus side, I did like the safety of the TSIP cushions. The seat is deep, and definitely more cushy and comfy than other baby buckets. It has a higher weight limit that the standard 22lb seat, so you should get a few more months of use out of it. Overall, I was glad we borrowed it instead of buying it. We have a Roundabout and a Regent, and we *LOVE* them. This seat just isn't up to Britax's usual standards. We certainly weren't going to buy this seat for ourselves when our third baby came along! I think there are other seats out there that are just as safe, easier to use, and less expensive.
Safety first, but the little things are annoying.
I like knowing that my baby is safer in this car seat, and I really appreciate the head pillow that it comes with, because all three of my children have been born under 6 pounds. However, I find myself frustrated in the day-to-day use by the difficulties I have getting it out of its base and by how hard it is to engage the buttons simultaneously to move the handle. The handle thing is the most annoying. If you're not positioned straight on, trying to engage the buttons for moving the handle, it's nearly impossible. Because of this, I hardly ever move it, which makes it less safe than it would otherwise be. I would probably tell a friend to look for another car seat with the same safety ratings.
Love this seat
I used this seat for my 2.5 year old daughter. She was able to use it until she was 10 months old. My older two children were out of their "bucket" before 6 months because of weight and height. It is slightly heavier than others but I didn't notice at all even with a 10 month old. Someone said it is not the prettiest and that is true however, it is the best "bucket" I have used and as we are expecting another child I just ordered a new cover for it from Britax and will continue to use it for my next child. My daughter was always comfortable and slept in in as I took her to and from day care 20 miles away from home.
Great car seat - lasted well through 2 kids and still going
I read as many reviews as I could before buying this car seat for my first daughter. It stood out in CR testing (CR no longer publisher crash ratings after they botched testing one year).
Our experience has been very positive. The base mounted very well in three different cars we have had - the first with a seat belt and two with the latch system.
This car seat has very good head support and side impact protection. The head support is inflatable so it adjusts for different size kids.
It is heavy, but I don't want to buy a flimsy car seat - what is the point of that?
American made and SAFE
Both of my kids have been in the Companion. We chose it because it was the ONLY car seat that wasn't some junk made in China. Britax seats are the only American made car seats out there. Trust me, I looked. As a bonus, they are one of the safest. The companion is a bit heavier than others but that's why it can hold bigger and heavier children than the other brands. The side impact protection is an awesome feature. Everyone is amazed when they see it. Luckily we have not had to test it out yet.
We liked it so much, we have a Britax Boulevard for the eldest. We will be getting another Britax as the youngest out grows the Companion.
