I really liked it a lot, FWIW. I think it's a nice seat for the money.

Great! Does anyone knwo who sturdy it is? I HATE the flimsy feelign of the Evenflo seats, but I love the GRaco and Chicco seats because they just feel like they are better quality, anyone know how these compare?

Seemed pretty sturdy to me when I compared it in store to the Chicco keyfit.

Pix!!! So here's Connor. First picture was coming home from the hospital 7lbs even at release. You can see the harness covers are pretty huge. I was not to happy with this fit but after further investigation via Skype (they are in hawaii, I'm in wa) the harness just needed to go up to the next slot.

Second picture is with the harness move up.


Era. The chest clip seems kinda wide to me. Feasible but wide.

I liked it quite well- which is to say, better than I thought I would. The bottom slots are really low. I like the look of it. It's not as heavy as the Chaperone, but it doesn't feel flimsy. The biggest downfall is that the lock-off is a total pain the first few times (as in, breaking nails trying to open it).

I didn't find the lockoff to be that horrible. Tough the first time, but doable. It didn't seem flimsy to me either. I got a better fit for DD by taking the gray pad out. It didn't seem to do anything in terms of positioning for her, and with it in the lowest slots were so low the straps were sliding off her shoulders in the hospital.

I think it's a nice seat. It's very similar to the keyfit 30 in terms of features and capacity. It's quite sturdy and the fabric and canopy are very nice. I had a horrible time with the lock off as in breaking nails described above but britax replaced my seat after an issue with the stroller adapters and the new seat the lockoff is perfect. The 1st one I had was 7/11 dom and the new one is 3/12-not sure if they tweaked the design. The handle also has a slightly squarish shape to it that I like for carrying.

I don't think it's narrow but I kind of prefer my seats to be close fitting near the head. DD is somewhat broad-shouldered. Here she is at 15 months, 32", 25#.

Here's a thread with a pic of my dd in her seat. She was 6lbs10zo or so when we left the hospital and 2 days old. http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=220253&highlight=Britax+B-Safe

We really like the seat. I feel like at 6 weeks old dd fits MUCH better, and the harness doesn't seem so wide anymore. The seat definitely has a nice solid feel to it, and the fabric feels like high quality. The only thing is that dd gets super sweaty in it, but I think she would in pretty much any seat. Overall I am happy with it.
