I bought 4 of these car seats and I would not change it for any other kind. I've had some puking experiences it's very easy to clean and take it apart. For me the best thing about this chair is that it holds the kids head up when they fall asleep,my kids look very comfortable in it and it's made in Italy not in China, you pay for what you get.

We have the new Peg convertible seat. We chose the Brica brand version and it worked perfectly. Seat must be in upright position and not reclined for it to work. I am not sure if this brand works the same or not?

I have had over 15 strollers over the years. This one is my favorite heavy duty stroller. The chicco trevi side by side is a wonderful lite weight stroller. Folds easily and is the narrow. The britax fits through all doors I have been through except one that was in an old building. I say this bc maybe the chicco would be better for Europe. I think it's cheaper too. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I've got leather seats and had no issues. Brand new leather at the time of install, and been using it for two months with no issues. Britax seats secure so tightly on everything (in my opinion) that I don't think any surface would be an issue. Especially if the rear anchor strap is used.

Very good suggestion....One thing people tend to overlook is the stability of the bases/carseat systems...use YOUR body weight in the car seat to secure it tightly when installing but still make sure it is adjusted to the correct angle by manufacturer's recommendations (I learned this as part of being a car-seat installer when our police department participated in Safe-Kids carseat checks)...I have the Graco SnugRide32 for our little girl and having a base in my car and another in my husband's truck makes life very simple...

I debated for about a month or two on weather to get the radian or a britax and I have a friend who was certified for installing carseats and apparently britax shortened their seats so kiddos outgrow them faster..the the radian has a steal frame..allows you to rear face til 45 pounds and lasts through a booster seat:) diono also just came out with a carseat called the Pacifica that actually allows you to rear face your child til 50 pounds and ya still in the same price range as the radian and britax:)

We've used Evenflow, Graco, and have a Frontier 85 (without Clicktight), and a Frontier 90. Given the ease of install with the 90 I think it's better than the rest. Better enough that we're replacing our 85 with a 90 due to the fact that we can't hardly get a decent install on the 85 when using the seatbelt (he's too big for LATCH now). Install with the 90 (with seatbelt or LATCH) is just such a breeze. My husband has always been the installer as I've just never been able to get the seats (any of them ) tight enough. With the 90, however, it's not a problem for me. I can't see where anyone would have a problem installing this seat.

recaro proride is better than britax. it's way stable and sturdier feeling than britax. i have no problem with recaro proride convertible. but if you want something that would be user later after your lil. one is more than 2 yo then go with britax frontier 85 because after 2 yo your lo will want a cup holder and snack slot. trust me on this part. i have 3 recaro proride, 1 recaro prosport, 2 britax boulevard, 1 britax marathon, and lastly britax frontier 85. i buy them as my lo grows.

Yes extremely easy!! This is the best Twin gadget ever!! Such good value and it's been the most amazing thing for me - I have two Peg Peggaro car seats but I'm sure the others listed with slip in perfectly too!

I would also like to see someone address this. I have a 3 1/2 year old who is in the lower percentages for his age. He is 33 lbs and so it says (on the "fit my child" part of the Britax website) that either the Advocate or the Frontier would work for him.The differences I see is the Advocate sits up slightly higher, and it reclines.But the Frontier has arm rests and cupholders.

You're suppose to be able to get the updated seat belt guide from Britax for the regular Parkway (not the SGL) to alleviate this problem. I have not experienced it personally so I have not attempted the "fix."Contact Britax for the "replacement" guide from the regular Parkway.

Me and kids are frequent flyer and also use Gogo Babyz Travelmate since 2009 and we absolutely love it. We have used Travelmate with Britax/Maxi Cosi and Evenflo convertible seats and it is the best solution for the airport! Travelmate is also compatible with Pria 70.

Will do! :) How funny. I am now actually looking at the Graco Quattro Tour Duo for my first primary stroller, just because it's cheaper and comes with cupholders, carseat attachments, etc. I looked at the Duoglider in the store and it was horrible, but the Quattro has better reviews and supposedly folds down 20% smaller. Looking at the measurements, it SHOULD fit... never know though. I'm going to try that one out this week. The boutique I went to to look at the City Mini actually had the Quattro Duo in stock but I just totally didn't even look at it, ha.

If you have a child that is on the taller side, go with the Foonf. It will last a lot longer. You also can not beat it's forward facing safety with the rigid latch and REACT system. The crash test numbers are super low. But the Peg is much lighter and a very nice seat to rear face until 2 + years an average height child.

Traded the uppa baby vista for the britax b ready with extra seat. Both recline and are much more comfortable than the rumble seat!

Yes; I bought this for a recent trip and we used our Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 30/30 just fine. The big caveat with this (and it probably applies to all makes infant seats, not just the 30/30) is that the car seat doesn't "snap" in anywhere - rather, it rests "on" the frame (there's a strap to help secure it, but it's still not locked in in any way.) As such, the seat is always in more of a slight recline position than in an upright seated position (like it is in the base in a vehicle.) That said, it worked out great for our 2 month old, and got us comfortably all around the airports, Walt Disney World, shopping centers, etc. on our trip. I wouldn't go "off-roading" in it (since it's not "locked" into place), but it was definitely secure enough for our basic travel needs. It also folds up super easily.

I believe both Britax infant car seats do click in... We have the b safe and it goes ONLY on the top not on the bottom..UNLESS you buy the adaptor and then it clicks into the adaptor. We returned our adaptor and used the Britax b safe infant car seat on top when our son was smaller and put our daughter (the eldest) in the second seat below.. My kids are 15months apart in age so that's what worked best until my son outgrew the infant car seat then we put him on the bottom and my daughter up top in the regular seat is comes with! I hope that wasn't super confusing lol.
