Bottom Line

Very sturdy and has a breathable, comfortable fabric for children.

Infant car seats are designed for babies ages 1 and below and are meant to make it easy and safe to transport your baby to and from home. Britax offers a wide variety of quality infant car seats and in general have a weight limit of 35 pounds. Some Britax infant car seats are designed to click into a base that stays in your car while you can leave baby in the seat to carry inside. Others are also designed to be used with a stroller, so baby can go straight from the car to the stroller without leaving the car seat. Other extras that are available are a retractable shade, mesh fabric to keep baby cool, multiple headrest and recline positions, and extra side-impact protection.
