Manufacturer's Description
If you are looking for a child seat that combines the benefits of an infant carrier and a car seat that grows with your child, the First Class Plus Car Seat from Britax is an ideal choice. It combines a rearward facing (birth to 13 kg) and forward facing (9 to 18 kg) solution that keeps your child safe up to approximately 4 years old. Additionally, it features the Click & Safe audible harness system which is designed to aid you when securing your child in the seat and ensure correct tensioning of the harness. Additional features include side impact protection with deep, softly padded side wings, unique Pitch Control system reduces forward movement in the event of an accident, performance chest pads, 5 recline positions so the seat adjusts without disturbing your child (when forward facing). A newborn insert provides extra comfort for the younger child, plus the extended recline position and newborn insert create a more natural sleeping position (when rearward facing). The spring-loaded belt locking mechanism allows easy installation, with a slim base for a better fit in cars with sculptured seats. There are two seat belt routing options (when forward facing), and harness retainers make it easy to get your child in and out of the seat. The quick-remove cover is designed to not inter with the harness. The softly padded and washable cover comes in a black design called Robbie. The car seat is designed for three-point seat belt installation rearward and forward facing.

Customer Reviews

Excellent car seat if you own a large car
I bought this baby/toddler car seat for my C-Max, and my 7 month son immediately liked it. It is nice and wide so he does not feel squashed, and it is high enough for him to see out the side window when rear facing.

Very easy to fit. It can also be turned into a forward facing seat, so it will last a good few years. Money well spent.

However this seat would not go into a small car. You need lots of headroom to get baby in out out. This is not a problem on a C-Max, but it would be a real pain on a smaller or 3-door vehicle.

So I would recommend this seat to anybody with a spacious rear car seat. A people carrier would be perfect. Be careful if you own a standard sized hatchback or saloon.

My car seat belt is too small
I bought this seat to replace my 6 month olds old one as he is getting to big for it. However when it came to fitting it I realised how massive this seat is. So big in fact that my seatbelts do not go around it in the rear facing position, no matter what I do. It fits fine forward facing but if you are buying this to face rearwards you'll need extra long seat belts.

If I had known I would not have purchased it as I cannot use it for another few months.

excellent car seat
We bought this car seat for my four months old baby as he's a big boy. He falls asleep very easly in it!
Looks very comftable and sturdy.
It's very easy to install in the car, but the user's manual isn't very clear and takes a while to work out what it means.
We are very happy with this car seat. Would recommend it to anyone so far.
