Britax Companion Infant Car Seat Report

The Britax Companion is a very safe infant car seat. It utilizes all the standard Britax safety features like the LATCH system, the 5-point harness and soft comfort pads. Another feature added for helping infants is the inflatable and adjustable cushion providing extra support around their heads.

This seat also features the Britax Side Impact Protection features that can make a life and death difference in side impact accidents.

Can Be Used with Strollers


These car seats also nicely go with the companion compatible stroller if you want to take the infant out without disturbing them.

Portion of actual user comment on amazon.com

Customers are quite pleased with the Britax Companion. Some owners have said that the sit is heavy and it is compared to other seats. The weight of the seat adds to the safety.

Also some owners mention that their children get rather warm with all the tight padding around them. They said it was fine in the winter but could be a little warm in the summer.

Product Details

Britax has taken child safety seat design to new levels. Their focus and passion on creating the most comfortable and safe seats possible has made them a global leader in their field.

Weight and Height Limits


What you should be aware of though is that while this car seat will accommodate longer infants up to 30 inches it is only designed to accommodate an infant up to 22 pounds. This means your baby may outgrow the Companion car seat in about 6 to 8 months.

The short life-cycle of this car seat will need to be weight with the excellent safety it provides.

Size Of Companion


Another aspect to consider and this holds true generally with all Britax seats, they are larger and bulkier then what other manufacturers produce. At 20 pounds, this makes them heavier to carry around so you will need to consider what stroller you want to use to get them around.
