Britax has been a trusted and highly-touted manufacturer of baby safety products for years, and it's not only because they sell high quality products but also peace of mind. This brand adulation is not mere wheedling. The Britax Regent Onyx car seat is an amazingly versatile child restraint system. The LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) easily attach to vehicles with LATCH connection points, and the Versa-Tether is an additional anchor aid that utilizes the factory installed automobile car seat upper anchor points to minimize the possibility of head injury. Their HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system is designed to distribute better the webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize edge loading on the child's neck in the case of impact. Made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extra thick comfort foam, it exceeds U.S. safety standards and affords plush padding. The tangle-free five-point harness is designed to fit snugly over the shoulders, collarbone, and hips, and the four shoulder slots allow a better fit as your child grows. Added bonuses are the two mesh pouches and cup holders. The removable fabric cover is machine washable, and the manufacturer recommended age is from 12 months and 22 pounds up to 80 pounds.
