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.

No it's not. The boulevard is a convertible that stays in your car. B ready is compatable with the britax chaperone or b safe seats . You can use it with other brand seats with an adapter bar.

not sure about a prius. I got it because there were several mini-vans that it fits. check their website to see if your vehicle is a match.

Thanks for the input. We did end up buying this stroller and it fits just fine in the Prius. It's a bit of a squeeze in our Honda Civic, but it's doable for either car. It's a great little double stroller!

I'll have to be honest with you....I did not install the Britax seat in my car...since it is for my granddaughter, I let my daughter and son-in-law install the seat as they were familiar with different Britax car seats they had installed in their own vehicles. Perhaps the manufacturer would be better able to answer this for you. My guess is that yes you can, but please check further to be safe.

We're having the *exact* same problem as scientific illustrator. The Britax Roundabout will not sit securely in the middle of our Prius. The car seat base is more narrow than the middle cushion so the car seat tilts and wobbles. We are trying to return the Roundabout and are looking for suggestions on which convertible car seat will work. Please advise!! Thank you

Yes, on the baby jogger website there is a Britax B safe car seat adapter. It is specific to the britax. I believe it is under $30 to get. Hope that helps.

I believe ISOFIX is the latching system used in Europe. For more information, see the Britax UK website at http://www.britax.co.uk/car-seats/isofix .

We were unable to fit our Recaro pro ride into the Clek bag. Our Britax Pinnacle 90 fit perfectly-not sure if it's anything like the Orbit. It's a pretty substantial seat though. You can look up its dimensions on the Britax website & compare.

I think your best bet would be to call Britax and ask them. I have dealt with Britax customer service before and they are very pleasant, responsive, and helpful. I would think that your carseat with base would work just fine since it utilizes the latch system...but I would double check to be sure. Good luck!

When my son was just starting to learn to sit up, he slumped to the side too. He did better when I set the seat up straighter and attached the tray. I also grabbed our insert from our mama roo and it fit perfectly! Plus looked cute. But I'm sure the Britax insert would work too.

I'm sure you could make it work but this is only crash tested to work with Britax seats. You can only use after market accessories that are tested and approved by the manufacturer. Call Graco and see what they recommend.

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

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.

Hi Kathy- I'm glad you asked. This particular tent is made for a smaller hatchback, such as a Prius or Honda Insight. You will want to go with the Sportz SUV tents, #82000 or #84000. Very little cost difference in the two models to add the screen room. For that reason the #84000 is the most popular for SUV's like yours and even the smaller Prius and Honda. These are very well constructed and go up in about 10 minutes. You have the option to use the screen room or not on the #84000. Both can stand independent of your vehicle if you decide to leave your campsite and drive somewhere. I hope this helps. Brenda Muncy Out and About Green

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