 Pros and Cons Mar 04, 2012
By Ken D.
This product certainly works as intended, but some of the details are a little off. 1) the level indicators rattlers incessantly when no car seat is present. It gets rather annoying after a block or two. I eventually taped them down after I knew I was level. 2) the attachment straps can be hard to get on the vehicle depending on the configuration of that vehicle. One reason is that the attachment strap release is located right where you need to hold when attempting attachment. That means that if your vehicle has its attachment loops way down deep between the cushions, it will be hard to put on because you're literally forced to push the release button just to hold on to it. Obviously, pressing the release makes attachment difficult. 3) the Britax system seems longer than other infant systems I've used in the past. I'm under 6 foot tall, but I always have to move the drivers seat up if its in the seat directly behind me, including in my Suburban.
 a must have! May 26, 2012
By Danielle Clements
This is a must have for any family with multiple cars. Makes going places an easy task. Don't have to worry about the hassle of moving the car seat base between cars. Just have a base in the cars you use, snap the car seat in and be on your way. If you are on a tight budget though (and this thing isn't the cheapest), Britax car seats can be be manually buckled in (in other words, you don't NEED a base). However, the difference is an easy snap versus stringing the seatbelt through the correct holes in the carseat, etc. The extra base saves you a lot of time and ENERGY, which you'll probably be short on, especially with a newborn. Definitely a convenient thing to have though.
Great extra base Mar 11, 2012
By SP
Works just like the base that came with the seat. It is helpful to have an extra base for my husband's car and for the sitter's car.
decent base Feb 22, 2012
By M. Heltsley
It is easy to use and set up, but the clasp is a real pain to both open and close. I nearly broke my finger trying to open it once closed. Which I guess means it's not likely to open during use, but also means this is not an ideal product in cars where it is likely to be moved in and out of the seat often. I have had to move it 3 times since installing it and it is still a pain to open, requiring significant pressure on a very small part of one finger to open. My wife can't do it, and even I have a hard time if I can't get proper leverage. My recommendation is to set it and forget it. Our older Britax models were hard to open too, but not this hard. We still have the old ones and while the design is the same for the clasp it is just a lot harder to use on this model. In any case that is one very very minor complaint of this seat base.
The level is a nice touch. The bottom of the base is flat, which is a huge improvement over older models which left indentations in the seat when removed. This one does not seem to have that problem.
Otherwise it is what it is, a seat base. No one buys one without the seat anyhow, and there don't appear to be 3rd party options, so you are kind of stuck with this. All in all this does the job, it is exactly the same as the base that comes with the car seat, so there is not much more to say about it.
Britax is the bees knees Feb 17, 2012
By N. Black
We purchased this extra base along with B-Agile and car seat. All Britax products are heavy duty but don't weigh a ton. Putting this base in our car was easy and literally took 10 seconds. They might be a little larger than other products out there but it's worth it for safety and ease of use.
