Extra trimmings without the price

published

We chose this seat mostly because it has extended safety harness to 8 years. We now love so many other features- the Hugh quality covering and passing, the removal seat liner, the atm rests ... and overall comfort. It is a great product and is our fourth and favourite car seat.



Purchased in February 2021 at Baby Bunting for $349.00.

Amazing for my reflux baby

published

My son loves this seat he's 6 months, he spews alot And suffers bad reflux!
It's roomy doesn't squish him up like other seats meaning less pressure on his belly.
It's super comfy and so easy to remove and put in other cars, and I love all the extra safety it has with it.

Great car seat

published

This is our second Britax seat. Great quality. Love how easy it is to adjust. Easy to install too (the other one is Isofix so I was worried this would be hard for me to do).

Safe and comfy

published

The car seat is very comfy. Baby is very protected and fabric is soft. It is not a bulky seat so it fits in a medium car. Not overpriced and it works as it should. I'm happy with it and would recommend if you want it as a second car seat as the head protection is not as sophisticated as other car seats.

The black button is to easy for child use

published

This needs to be recalled!! I want my money back!!!! Waste of $430 bought this for my 3 year old and with in 2 weeks she figured out how to press the black button to loosen her straps and get out. I was driving on the high way and she lent all the way over my shoulder I nearly died as I wasn't expecting that! I pulled over and asked her how did she get out and she showed me! The black button is in the child's reach she kept playing with it I had to take it out and put her old insecure neon car seat it where the "leaver" is under neath AWAY from her reach. You say that safety is your first priority well maybe take a look further into it.

This is my 5th Safe n Sound seat and after one month of use I am unable to use it. The strap release leaver can be reached by my son, he lifted it, released the straps and climbed out whilst I was driving down the freeway. I’ve gone back to using my older Maxi Rider as the strap release is further away and is a push button, we’ve never had an issue with that seat. A Britax representitive advised me to discipline my son better.

Fantastic Seat

published

I purchased two of these seats in January 2018. The seat is so easy to install, and once in it is easy to adjust and take the seat cover off for easy washing. My daughter loves the seat and is very comfortable sitting in it too. I love the fact that it is a 5 point harness until she outgrows it at around age 8, as the idea of a lap sash is not so appealing for me. Will be definitely purchasing another 2 when my son grows out of his carseat.

So easy to install and change height for each child

published

I love our britax MaxiGuard. I have 3 children who love to swap chairs daily. The Maxi Guard makes it possible to do this with the inbuilt height adjuster. No longer do I need to take the car seat out to adjust the height. Super Easy to clean and my kids fight for this seat (others are another brand currently - upgrading for my sanity ASAP).

Greats for growing families

published

Easy to intall. It’s perfect for my growing family. I love that it has the 5 point harness to keep little ones safe for longer. Impact protecting is worth the extra you pay for this car seat.
Easy to clean just put in the washing machine and comes out like new.

Good seat, easy to install

published

We bought this for our 3.5 years old recently. Easy to install, comfy to sit in. When child falls asleep his head can rest on the side, won't lean forward which is perfect. Shoulder protector strap won't attach to the back rest like our previous car seat does, meaning the shoulder pads does drop to chest from time to time which defeats the purpose of being there. I might sow it on to the backrest to keep it at neck high. Overall, happy.

Great comfortable seat.

published

We purchased this for our 2.5 yr old as an upgrade when we had our daughter and he loves it! It is quite stylish, comfortable and practical. The fabric is also great in the heat! the straps are supposed to tuck out if the way but they often end up back where they were.

My boy loves this

published

My boy has changed to this car seat, he loves it and settles well every single ride. The seat is so comfortable, the head rest and harness can be easily adjusted. I install the car seat without any issues by following the instruction. Both my hubby and I are happy with this purchase.

Highly recommend this baby car seat. Bought one for my little one few years back and never regret it. very easy to install and maintenance is cheap and easy. Little one found it very comfortable whilst sitting on it even on long distance trip. SO I would highly recommend it to everyone. Even go for the pro version if you want to spend an extra $50.

Comfy to sit on

published

My 4 year old boy tried a booster and this car seat. He loves the Maxi Guard a lot more because he thinks it is more comfortable. The car seat is a bigger version of 0-4 y.o car seat, so the installation is very straightforward. I think it provides better protection than a booster seat.

The price is higher than booster.

Love it.!

published

Purchase this seat a year ago for our first born. I brought the one with the more breathable mesh fabric in the blue style and I love it.
So easy to install even in my car where we had to get an extension for the strap to hook in properly. As soon as my daughter is in the car seat she falls fast asleep. it is very comfortable and she doesn't get sweaty.
Would encourage others to buy this brand as we have been super happy with our purchase.

Love Britax

published

We purchased the Maxi Guard for our son who has autism, I love the fact that even though he's old enough to be in a regular seat, I can keep him safer for longer with this seat! Being small for his age means he will fit this seat for a long time & can adjust it as he grows :) He never complains of being uncomfortable in it and I found it easy to install. Thanks for making seats for older kids Britax!

Great seat for 3+ year olds

published

This is a very comfortable and easy-to-use seat. Great recline. Forward-facing only so I wouldn't put a 6-month-old in it (most 6-month olds wouldn't meet the entry markers for it anyway). It uses the safer option of an inbuilt 5-point harness all the way to the exit line of 51cm (average 8yo). The easy-adjust headrest is fantastic for allowing different kids to use the seat. Not having arm-rests can be handy for kids with wider hips, or simply for ease of getting in and out of the seat.

Excellent...

published

Easy to install.
Great to be able to adjust the seat itself and the harness from the front with the child either in or out of it.
Ours came with an audio set up that plays through the head rest...amazing. I set it up with my old iPhone and play children's audio stories and songs.
It is easy to clean and look after.
All in all brilliant.

Hi, are any of the 6mth to 8yrs Britax seats ISOFIX compatible? Is there a reason ISOFIX does not seem to be used on these seats? Thanks

Support C.Britax Safe-n-Sound

Hi Mark S. The Isofix feature is only available in the Safe-n-Sound Unity isofix and selected convertible car seats (birth-4 years approx). Isofix has not been tested on harnessed car seats such as the Safe-n-Sound Maxi Guard. If you have any further questions, please call our consumer support team on 1300 303 330. Kind regards, the Safe-n-Sound team.

Hi Leyah, thanks for your question. Seat no longer have a weight limit and are based on shoulder height labels on the seat cover. Please feel free to give us a call on 1300 303 330 if you would like to discuss this with us in detail. Kind regards, the Britax team.

We have the Maxi Guard harnessed car seat for our 4 year old daughter. When she falls asleep in the seat, her head drops forward onto her chest, which looks really uncomfortable. Any suggestions on how to adjust the seat to prevent this? Thank you.

If you don’t already, try keeping the car seat on the incline. Apart from that I don’t think there is much else you can do as it’s just the natural movement of neck when asleep in sitting position
