Watch out if you have a station wagon or sedan think about buying this seat!!
Hello all, I am writing this with regard to my Britax Car seat Platinum pro purchase and installation
I tried installing this car seat and have few things to say. Firstly, the installation was a bit hard to do ourselves with ISO fix, which is still fine we can pay and get it installed outside.
But the worst thing was the extension which goes backside the car seat was too short for the rear-facing position of the seat for newborns. I know every car is different, but the default tether strap provided with the car seat is too small. It very obv...Read more

Valuable upgrade
Our previous car seat got recalled just when our new baby was born. After doing some research we brought this in replacement based on safety ratings both rearward and forward facing it seemed the best overall. Our baby really likes it and falls asleep in it every time. The shop assistant tried steering me clear of it given its width but I find it fits fine into my small car. The only downfall is that it doesn’t have magnetic strap holders and the plastic holders it does have to hold back the straps are a bit hard to use, however the adjustable strap button on the front makes up for that with its ease.

Great value
Car seat is very safety with comfortable booster. Easy to install and my baby love to sit and sleep on it. My husband is working as uber driver and he can easily un/install the car seat by his own.

Great but could do with a few modifications
It's great as we had a very small baby and needed the extra insert so she fitted properly. Very handy with the isofix and easy to click into pram. Although it takes time to get it in and out of the car as you still have to put the straps around and tighten it up. Baby does get hot in it also.

Great Car Seat
We wanted a car seat for our four month old baby granddaughter that could be changed to forward facing when the time came. We have an over thirty year history with Britax products, her Dad had one when he was a baby, so we were happy to review their products. We bought a Britax Safe N Sound Platinum Pro SICT Kohl and installed it rear facing in my wife's VW Golf, soon we will turn it around. She's now old enough and big enough for a forward facing seat. My arthritic hands and old eyes are often defeated by the catches on other makes but the Britax harness works for me every time. My granddaughter loves the seat and has spent many happy hours sleeping or singing as we drive around, Another nice product from Britax.

Exactly what we wanted!
We bought our car seat based on the fact it had one of the best safety ratings and we live in country NSW and its perfect!
We needed a car seat that would:
- handle rough terrain as we have 15mins of rough dirt road to get to our house and the rest is country roads where wildlife, stock and all sorts of things jump out at you.
- we were expecting a large and tall baby so the car seat needed to fit him for the correct amount of time, and hopefully longer as rear facing is better.
The car seat has met our priorities and more, the seat itsel...Read more
f is plush and bubs falls asleep as soon as the car starts moving, barely stirring no matter what terrain we drive over. He was also large and tall the the seat is extendable but still comfortable for him and will definitely get him past the 6 months rear facing and hopefully for a fair amount of time after that. Its super easy to adjust and the instruction manual is easy to follow. It is a large car seat but fits comfortable in my RAV4 and can be fairly warm but we make sure the air con is on on hot days and we live in a cold climate so it isn't so much of an issue for most of the year. For us its worth it for all the safety benefits and we are about to purchase another one for our second car!Purchased in September 2021.

So good so safe
Money well spent. Have owned ours over. Year. Seen our little darling from new born till now and will se her through a couple more years. When she was new born it looked so safe for her. Our little one is still rear facing. Australia recommends from 6 mths can forward face but all other professionals recommend still rear face, i think 18 mths, maybe a tad longer. So we are following their advice. Australia standards are minimum requirement.
Everything comes off easy to clean. I was one of those people before little one was born, no eating in car haha. Well i understand now why alot of parents allow it haha.

Great carseat but Thermo5 doesn't do anything - not a 'cool' fabric
We've been using this carseat for 9 months now and I like how safe it is and that its extended rear facing however the thermo5 fabric really doesn't do anything - my daughter sweats everytime she is in it which is annoying as its one of the reasons we purchased this due to living in a warm climate. Even with the aircon on, she still sweats after 20 mins.
We've had her in rental cars before and in those hire car seats after 2 hours shes still not sweaty so I definitely think the Thermo 5 fabric increases heat not decreases - buyer beware if you are wanting a 'cool' fabric - I'd suggest trying the Maxi-Cosi

Great car seat
Very comfortable for my baby, he loves being in the car seat and falls asleep very easy. The car seat itself is easy to use and is very safe with all of the airbags/safety protection. It is on the more expensive end of car seats but is definitely worth it! Would recommend!

Super Bulky but Give Peace of Mind
Very bulky.. heavy.. but when you see your child sits there, it gives you a peace of mind! Kid was difficult to climb in... and I had to let go before my son outgrown and it didn't fit on my boot since I have another big car seat.

Best seat there is.

It is bulky due to the airbags but not much more than other seats.
Easy to adjust too.

Dud car seat
I dislike this car seat but think that may be because I have a lemon. Find the straps very hard to loosen and tighten and never feel like they are tight enough on my son. 2 years later my parents brought the identical seat and it doesn’t have the same problem. For the price very disappointing to get the lemon

Excellent and safe
We purchased a seat based on safety and quality. Britax by far had the best safety reviews and quality reviews over all of their range.
This seat is a perfect fit for a our first little man.
Only negatives I have are that the pads for the shoulder straps are really big so for smaller newborns it was a problem trying to fit them without obstruction the lower jaw and neck. Also the fabric is supposed to wick away moisture but this was not the case. We are in a hot and humid climate so I was disappointed with this, our little man also sweats when crying or frustrated so this was an added problem.
Otherwise it’s safe and secured nicely in our 4wd with no lose bits.

Great car seat
I think it’s very comfortable for my son, generally the quality is great however the straps twist a lot and are a little tricky to readjust
Would also clean more often if I could pull it apart easier.

Safest on the market.
I have just purchased my second Britax Platinum PRO SICT car seat for baby #2.
It is easy to install, easy to clean, easy to get DD in and out and is on the larger size which is great because of DD being tall and my wishes to remain rear facing for as long as possible.
The material doesn’t seem to stain, although both are black.
I highly recommend this car seat.

Safe and Functional
This is a great car seat. Bub is now 8 months and has always been happy to go into the seat. I love that the seat has additional padding for when bub is really little and that it’s super easy to remove when they get a bit bigger to give them more room and seat them deeper into the seat. Having had a reflux baby, I was so glad that the insert and cover we’re both super easy to wash in the machine and hasn’t yet gotten damaged while washing (it dries fairly quickly too on a sunny day). The only thing a bit trickier to wash was the actual buckle s...Read more
traps. This seat is easy to buckle up and undo without much fussing which makes it quick to put bub in and out of the car. The seat is quite bulky which can make it hard for someone to sit in the front seat when the seat is rear facing (if your car is small-middle size), however, it’s mainly bulky due to it being a safer seat so was a sacrifice I was willing to make. Overall, a fantastic seat!1 comment

Becasked
Can the pro be used in a foreard facing position from 12 months regardless of the babies height (within reason)?
3 answers
You have to check their specs (on their website can download pdf), but australian standard is from 6mths of age. If your little one is still comfortable rear faced, its better to leave rear faced. If you look up recommendations its as long as possible (baby is comfortable). Their bodies are most safe rear faced so young in case of accident. My little one is 14mths still rear faced, she has a mirror so can engage with us. Best of luck
Thanks Kris,
My LO (4m) gets bad nausea and I'd like the option of trying both 4wd and rear facing plus if it does get better with time (which our MD suggests it might) we could go back to rear facing. My 2yo is still rear facing and fine.
Thanks for your help, ill try to find the appropriate file
Thanks
Bec
Support C.Britax Safe-n-Sound
Hi Bec, thanks for your question. The Safe-n-Sound Platinum Pro can only be used as per the instruction manual and the height labels will need to followed as a guide. If your little one has not yet reached the first marker, your child will need to remain in rear facing however you can keep your child in rear facing if you wish until they reach the dotted line on the middle marker. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our consumer support team on 1300 303 330. Kind regards, the Safe-n-Sound team.
