This review is from: Britax B-Safe Infant Car Seat Extra Base (Baby Product)
This product certainly works as intended, but some of the details are a little off. 1) the level indicators rattlers incessantly when no car seat is present. It gets rather annoying after a block or two. I eventually taped them down after I knew I was level. 2) the attachment straps can be hard to get on the vehicle depending on the configuration of that vehicle. One reason is that the attachment strap release is located right where you need to hold when attempting attachment. That means that if your vehicle has its attachment loops way down deep between the cushions, it will be hard to put on because you're literally forced to push the release button just to hold on to it. Obviously, pressing the release makes attachment difficult. 3) the Britax system seems longer than other infant systems I've used in the past. I'm under 6 foot tall, but I always have to move the drivers seat up if its in the seat directly behind me, including in my Suburban.
Great extra base,

Works just like the base that came with the seat. It is helpful to have an extra base for my husband's car and for the sitter's car.
decent base,

It is easy to use and set up, but the clasp is a real pain to both open and close. I nearly broke my finger trying to open it once closed. Which I guess means it's not likely to open during use, but also means this is not an ideal product in cars where it is likely to be moved in and out of the seat often. I have had to move it 3 times since installing it and it is still a pain to open, requiring significant pressure on a very small part of one finger to open. My wife can't do it, and even I have a hard time if I can't get proper leverage. My recommendation is to set it and forget it. Our older Britax models were hard to open too, but not this hard. We still have the old ones and while the design is the same for the clasp it is just a lot harder to use on this model. In any case that is one very very minor complaint of this seat base.
The level is a nice touch. The bottom of the base is flat, which is a huge improvement over older models which left indentations in...Read more
