Really. Really disappointed!
I used to always recommend Britax.... Why? Because it's so easy for parent's to install correctly. It's ALMOST "idiot" proof
I have a Classic MA and I just love it! The lock offs make it easy for me to install quickly. It fits my skinny almost 2 year old well. He has lots of room and the straps never twist. Its easy to clean and fits well rearfacing in almost any car. It's not the very best ERF seat out there, but it fits alot of parent's needs, pocketbooks and cars. And that makes it a good seat in my book...
But the new Britax 70 seats are ridiculous IMHO. My son has like 2-3 inches left in it and he weighs 22lbs.... (He is tall, but still, not THAT tall!)... The harness adjuster was great, but the seat is bulky, even with a smaller base. It is short shelled. It's MUCH MUCH harder to install. The lock-offs were really hard to close. The cover moved around alot and slipped off alot. The only thing I liked was the new base and how light the seat was to pick up and move around. But, the ease of use was the best part about Britax seats and now it's so much harder to use the lockoffs. Big disappointment.
With seats like the radian in the same price range, I'm not so sure how they plan on competing. If I wanted a fat, short convertible, I could get a EFTA for way less...
I'm bummed out
