 Britax Chaperone Infant Carrier
Britax is well known for their safety record and has been very successful in the convertible carwebassets/Chaperone.jpg seat market but has struggled some in the infant car seat catagory.  That may have all changed with their introduction 6 months ago of the Chaperone Infant Carrier and stroller.  We haven't had a chance to test out their stroller yet but we have had an opportunity to play with the new infant car seat.  This new car seat will fit children who weigh 4 - 30 lbs.                     webassets/Chaperone.jpg

Some of it's features include:

  • True Side Impact Protection distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, contains the head and body, and keeps the head, neck and spine in true or aligned, to limit injury
  • Anti-Rebound Bar stabilizes child seat by minimizing rotational forces associated with front and rear collisions
  • Quick-Adjust Head Restraint & No Re-Thread Harness easily adjust the harness shoulder height and head restraint without disassembling the harness
  • Extra Large Canopy blocks wind, rain and harmful UV rays from babys sensitive skin
  • Ergonomic Carry Handle designed to contour to forearm and body to allow for more comfortable carrying of child in carrier
We particularly like the no re-thread harness feature and the fact that it has seven, yes seven, positions for that growing baby.  Another cool feature is that the buckle strap that comes up between the legs has two positions.  Britax products always seem to be very user friendly and this seems to follow the pattern.  So far, it looks like a thumbs up but we will be demonstrating it in more workshops in the coming months and get back to you with additional feedback.
