Britax seats in Prius? Any recommendations, Brtiax or otherwise?

I have a honda fit (same size as a prius) and have had a heck of a time finding a seat to fit this, especially with 3 kids! I had the graco comfortsport, it didnt fit well either rear or forward facing, went with the graco myride 65, same issue and its HUGE! tried a cheap cosco from walmart and it fit fairly well forward and not too bad rear facing but it was so flimsy I didnt feel it was going to hold up in case of a crash. Alot of my friends have the britax marathon or advocate so I decided it was time to try one but our finances dont allow a new seat. I found a used (spare seat that was never actually used) for super cheap from a local mom so I bought that and it fits PERFECTLY in our fit. It was a bit hard to get to fit that way so I had to roll up a towel but he will be forward facing pretty soon so not that major of a problem too me, all our seats have to have rolls. I would recommend this seat in a heartbeat, Im not a fan of the colors of any of the britaxs but you can always find a cover on ebay to custom fit! I also love the velcro to hold the straps so Im not digging around under his butt for the straps. I have a 14 month old who is 25 pounds and 33" tall.

Like you, I'm trying to decide between the two. There's someone on the Britax reviews that has used both. Apparently this one slides out of place everytime the kid gets in and out.

We have a Prius and bought a Britax Roundabout. We are having trouble securing it in the backwards-facing position so it doesn't budge. Anyone else having this problem?

I am sorry I didn't buy this for a Britax b-ready. I agree they are similar. I have to say though this is a snug fit with the vista. There isn't much wiggle room on the sides. So it might have to be an exact fit. Just my opinion. I hope you can find someone who has actually tried it out.

Honestly, I would contact the company for exact dimensions. The seat is quite wide and I'm not familiar with the interior of a Prius.

I know it fits the Camray for which I bought. Don't know about the Prius. I just did not like the quality of the product.

I don't know, I have the britax b ready. You could probably get a car seat kit from the stroller co?

We have the Frontier 90, but our daughter is very comfortable in it. She did have some initial complaints that she felt like she was sitting up too much, but she came out of a convertible seat and even on the least reclined setting, the convertible is not as upright as the Frontier is. I compared the cushiness of all of the combination seats and the Britax ones were definitely the most padded - some cheaper seats were downright awful.

I would think so. I had them on a lexus LS460 and now have them in my Prius. I've gone from large seats to small ones with no problems as to size. They adapt well. res

I don't know about the Britax Bsafe... We used it with a Graco Snugride and it worked great. I remember thinking it was really expensive for what it really was, but after we had it, we would not have given it back. It worked great and felt really secure (but made the stroller a little top heavy on uneven terrain). Maybe you can compare the attachment points of the Graco and yours and decide. Also, have a look at the website www dot bobgear dot com. They will most likely list which adapter will fit your carseat. That's how we did it. Good luck.

No! This is the older model adapter and will not work with newer Britax seats. I called BJ and they sent me the correct adapter.

Not that I know. The britax b-agile tray does not fit the b-ready. So that's why I had purchased uppa vista tray. Sorry if this isn't more helpful I can ony attest that it fits the b-ready

Sorry, for the late response. Unfortunately I have no idea. I bought it for my husband for his Toyota truck. We actually returned it bc it actually looked too small. Sooo...maybe it would look fine in the Prius?? Just not sure it will 'fit'.

I have this same question...I have a toyota corolla and after reading the consumer reports review, I definitely want this seat...BUT I'd hate to order it and find that it's too big to fit in my car. As a side note I was surprised to find this seat rated better overall than both the Graco My Ride 65 and the Britax Roundabout on the Consumer Reports website.

I did not, but would have if my neighbor hadn't given me their infant Chicco carrier to use. The Britax is a fantastic seat!!! I love it! Very safe & secure! I highly recommend this car seat!

This actually just happened to us. The rubber pads on of our seats broke. Britax promptly sent replacements for that seat and our second seat which isn't having any issues. No questions asked.

As an alternative to latches, the Britax will also accommodate a shoulder seat belt. You need to check with Toyota or your local Toyota dealership to see if a third row seat can be used for a child safety seat. Also keep in mind that rear end collision injuries are more profound for those seated in the third seat. I don't believe that there would be any air bag protection for third row seated passengers. Also check with your local fire department for suggestions/recommendations.
