We purchased a Britax Regent in Sahara when out 4 year old started to outgrow her Britax Marathon due to harness height. The Regent is a forward facing youth seat with a 5-point harness for children 22-80 lbs and up to 53” or until the top of the child’s ears are above the top of the restraint or when the child’s shoulders are over the top harness slot, whichever comes first.
Installation was reasonably straightforward for both LATCH and using the car seat belts. But because the seat is so wide it can be difficult to install properly; it does make it easier to have some help. The harness straps twist easily, they are much thinner than on our Marathon. For the $225 I paid for the seat I don’t expect to have to untangle the straps on a regular basis.
The Britax Regent is an OK seat, but I am definitely not in love with it. I am glad that there is a seat to keep my tall 4 year old in a 5-point harness a little longer.
