Baby Products Reviews of Britax Regent Youth Car Seat, Onyx
Customer Review: Best car seat around
Summary: 5 Stars
We have 2 of these car seats, one for each child (ages 2 and 4). My 4 year old daughter is VERY tall for her age, and quickly grew out of her previous car seat, even though she was no where near the weight limit. I highly recommend this car seat because it can easily serve as your booster seat as your child gets older. It's so well made, and so comfortable! Also, using this as a booster seat for older children makes it more comfortable for them for long trips, and frankly, I think much safer. We used these in our CRV and now our Pilot and have no complaints about size. They fit easily and we have a big oversized box of toys in between both seats. Well worth the money.Customer Review: britax booster
Summary: 4 Stars
I like that it is the safest booster seat available. I was surprised and annoyed that the belts get twisted like cheaper brands. I have the other britax seats and those belts are thicker material and never twist.
The seat does take up more space than the other seats as well. I used to be able to sit as a passenger between my two car seats and now I cannot.
Comments from other 5 year old kids are that it is a baby seat because it fastens like their old seats, but that is exactly the reason I like it. However, it is not as easy and fast like the other booster seats out there. I didn't want to sacrifice safety for convenience.
Customer Review: Wish it worked for taller kids
Summary: 4 Stars
This car seat is great. It is huge and it was a pain to install, but it seems secure, safe and comfortable now that it has been installed.
My only complaint is that the seat only goes up to 53" but it is recommended (and will soon be required in my state) to have children in a booster seat until they are 4ft 9 inches (57") or 8 years old. I had hoped this would be the last car seat I would have to buy, but it seems as though it isn't the case. None of the other toddler seats with a 5pt harness went any higher so I certainly wouldn't recommend another seat instead of this seat, I just wish Britax had designed this seat a little differently.
Customer Review: Importance of a five point harness car seat. 7 year old still in
Summary: 5 Stars
Best car seat available. Good price, easy to install. We feel safe and secure. Plenty of room to grow for my 4 year old, and also a comfortable and safe seat for my 7 year old. Better than the average booster that is held only by an adult seat belt. Tether anchor gives added security. Would NOT buy any other car seat. We have a small SUV and the seat is very large, so we had to give up the "third" middle seat between the two Regents but SO WORTH it for the saftey. Please check out this video about a five point harness.

Customer Review: safe, easy to nap in
Summary: 5 Stars
My two 1/2 year old outgrew his last seat (too tall for shoulder harness points), and I wanted a really safe seat that would last the remainder of his car-seat/booster years. It fits quite well in a 2008 Toyota Rav-4. The set-up was easy. It's a heavy seat, but we're not moving it from vehicle to vehicle. It is apparently as comfortable as it looks. My son naps quite well in this seat. He recently set a personal record with a 3-hour nap on a cross-country trip to see family. He actually looks comfortable while sleeping as opposed to his last seat in which he looked like a chiropractic ad while snoozing. I'm quite pleased with this purchase.
