Test car seat with child before purchasing
I hate to give Britax a bad review as I have been happy with their B-Agile infant seat and stroller. However, the lap straps and harness buckle did not work with my child, and I'm not sure how it works with any child. The strap and buckle cut into my child's thighs, the buckle seems too short. My child is 9 mo., 18lbs, 28in (50th percentile for weight, 80th for height). The straps cut across the thighs and squeeze into them, even before fully tightened. After just a few minutes in the seat she had red marks on her legs. I read through the manual and watched the video tutorials on Britax's website to ensure I wasn't doing something wrong. After doing some research I did come across several forums where other people had the same issue. Obviously, this isn't the case for everyone with so many good reviews so my suggestion is to find this seat in a store and test it out before purchasing. I ended up having to switch to the Chicco Nextfit. Luckily returns are quick and easy through Amazon.
