Does this void the manufacture's warranty (of the carseat) if used with a carseat? And is it safe in crash tests?

To the reviewers below, it does have a direct impact on how your car-seat reacts in a crash! RESEARCH before you rattle off silly answers. The seller should list which, if any, car seats this has been tested with and approved for or you will VOID your warranty and place your child in possible danger. Best thing to do is contact your car seat maker and ask. Usually they have one specifically for their car seats THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED.

I wouldn't think so. It is like placing a towel under the car seat to protect the seat. It doesn't have anything to do with how the car seat works or buckles in. The car seat just sits on top of it.

I would not think this has anything to do with the carseat. It is merely a car seat protector. I would doubt it is crash tested for the same reason.

You can put it right over the 'blank' carseat.No need to pad it or anything.

It is certified for aircraft use - I have not taken mine on the airplane. The carseat is large and difficult to carry thru an airport, I am also not sure if it will fit in the airplane seat well - so I chose to check the carseat and take my baby as a lap child. It is a FABULOUS carseat for everything else though - we love both of ours!

It doesn't. I just put it between my grand daughter's knees and it doesn't interfere with the carseat. Her carseat is high, if it were lower, the steering wheel would probably be able to sit right on the regular seat and then go up between the legs. But she loves it (still). the good thing about it not attaching is that when she's done, she can either push it down onto the floor or on the seat next to her.

I'm sorry I don't know. I purchased this carseat and was very happy with it. You could probably return it if it doesn't fie. Good luck

Well if you are lazy like me and my wife, then yes. I have a base in my car and she has one in hers. At a moments notice we can take either car with haveing to fool with the car seat. You just snap it in and you are good to go. :-) That being said, the carseat itself can be stapped in using the seat belts and only them. You don't have to use the base at all. We have done that before when my wife went in her moms car. So NO, you don't need it but it is nice to have.

I honestly cant tell you. we never used it with car seats. By the time we had bought this my twins were big enough to sit in it without a carseat. But I do know that there are pieces that come with it for a carseat to sit in it. They do carry these strollers at babys r us so you could go there and try it out, but they are about 30 to 40 dollars cheaper on here. Hope i am some help.

It was not involved in any recalls.... as far as crash test requirements, here is a link to a crash test video of the seat.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9dN2t3NcpM

The other answer is 100% correct! The plastic becomes brittle over time, meaning it will break much easier in an accident. This is especially true because carseats are in extremly hot and cold conditions in the car. A carseat specialist told us that carseats in drier climates should expire after only 4 years. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I have no idea. We purchased this together with a Safety 1st carseat.

If you do not have the metal rings, do not buy it. The shoulder strap should easily go over the carseat itself.

No because it becomes a serious safety hazard in the event of a crash. This is not soft or collapsible.

As per Britax, aftermarket products should not be used with their carseats unless Britax themselves manufactured the item due to the risk of it causing injury to the child in the unlikely event of an accident. That being said, my son had torticollis and we needed something to prop his neck to the loose side as per his physical therapist. We separated this cradler, using one side, to keep his head straight. We have a Britax Marathon.

this covers the entire seat so I would NOT think it is safe. you can ask you auto maker for sure

yes!! the plastics lose some of their strength causing them to be more likely to break down and apart especially in an accident. I do childcare and have always heard that five years is the "expiration date"on carseats. I always replace mine by 5 years. Best of luck with your decision!

I did not use it with a carseat so unfortunately can not answer. I had a click and go frame.. They are fantastic!!!! This stroller is horrible.. just saying again..I replaced it with a Joovy Scooter.. best thing I ever did!!

No, you are not allowed to use aftermarket product on your car seat straps. It can compromise your child's safety because the aftermarket parts were not crash tested with the seat. It could also void your car seat warranty.
