Good CREP rating and easy to use
We have been very happy with the seat having used it rearward facing for 13 months and forward facing for about the same. It fits large bubs and toddlers and is very easy to fit and use on a daily basis.
Pros:
-Good CREP rating in ISO fix mode (3-star rearward and 4-star forward facing)
-Takes 10min to install once you're used to it
-It has adjustable angles rearward and forward facing
-It is easy to fit the bub and tighten the straps
-Very easy to adjust the head rest and integrated shoulder strap height.
Cons:
-It's big. It takes up a lot of space rearward facing. Part of the reason is because the baby can be laid quite flat. You should check it fits before buying!
-It is very difficult to remove all the fabric to wash

Love this car seat
This car seat is very easy to install I installed it whilst being 6 months pregnant it fits perfectly in my Toyota kluger, my baby sleeps great in this car seat which I guess means she is comfortable, very easy to clean, great piece of mind also knowing it’s the top of the range and you can’t get better

Great car seat - baby loves the comfort
Very pleased with this car seat - it is a little bigger and bulkier than other car seats but this is because of the additional protection around the seat. Baby loves the comfort. The seatbelt is reasonably easy to use although the belt does get tangled on occasion. Great quality build and the i Isofix anchors are fantastic. Get it on sale and it’s a great buy!

Great car seat
We have this seat for my 3 year old and 9 month old, both rear facing. We have had them professionally fitted and also done them ourselves, very easy to fit.
Both kids are comfortable in the seat.
The covers come off for easy washing.
They are a rather large seat and take up a fair bit of space, we can fit a child or a small adult in between the seats in our Mondeo.

Great car seat
Was being recommended by a friend before baby was born and we never look back since! We got it fitted professionally at the baby shop as it’s our first car seat, however from other reviews seems like it’s relatively easy to install. Easy to put baby in & out from the seat, the harness & shoulder straps are easy to use too. Baby often falls asleep during car rides. Highly recommended!

Extra safe
I chose the platinum pro because of the SICT technology - it has crash buffer pads along side baby’s head and torso. It adds to the width of the baby seat, but we don’t need to have 2 extra passengers in the back seat. The material is comfy and washable in the washing machine. Costs a little more, but safety is invaluable.

Good seat
Easy to install with isofix, easy to adjust shoulders and harness for perfect fit. Infant insert cushions were fantastic for making sure baby fit snugly into seat, and I used to put them on gentle cycle in washing machine when soiled. As my son grew, we removed the wing cushions and eventually the ones underneath him, ensuring the sest was always the right fit. I miss them now that my son has outgrown them - the seat is not easy to clean and there are stains on the seat and harness belts at the moment.
My son certainly seems comfortable and safe in this sest.

Safety plus!
Super supportive for our newborn. Babies head was comfortably supported from day one! You see other babies in other brands with their head tilted to one side.... that doesn’t happen with this seat. Everything about this seat is top quality and meets every expectation. I feel at ease when baby is in this seat. Baby is very comfortable and it holds him snuggly together. Most of the time he falls asleep as it’s so snug and safe.
Easy to clip up. Easy to loosen and get bub out. Easy to wipe clean. Love it! Thank you Britax

Amazing, 5 Stars
We had it installed be a proper installation expert but I feel comfortable that I could do it myself if needed. The seat is straight forward when it comes to use and I’m very happy about how safe I feel my baby is. My baby sleeps frequently in his seat leading me to believe he’s very comfortable. Everything from cleaning the seat, maintaining all the aspects have been great. I highly recommend this seat.

Safety is of paramount importance!
Purchased them due to the safety features (SICT, AHR) and the soft bamboo cooling fabric as we live in Qld. I like the longer rearward-facing feature which is safer for my children. My five-year-old is still in this car seat as she hasn't hit the height marker. Easy to install and use.

Great baby car seat
We bought this car seat at the baby expo through Bubs (now liquidated), because of the high safety rating - it was also top of the range, but we got a good deal on it. My husband installed the seat with ease. Baby is six months old almost and he loves the seat, usually falls asleep in it. We've never had trouble with getting him to go in car, it seems he almost looks forward to it!
A few minor issues are that it's a pain to put him into the seat, because of the straps that attach to the car. I've bumped his head on more than one occasion, try...Read more

Best car seat and very comfort for newborn
This car seat helps the baby sit well position, specially for babies under the age of 5 years, because this car seat can be with sleeping position. The safety level of this car seat is very good on the bench of the other car, I'm very happy to buy this car seat never regret.

Growing well with bub
We had this seat professionally installed 15 months ago and haven't had any issues. My bub always travels well in it (since birth), often falling asleep so I believe it's very comfortable. To clean we just remove the inner cushions and run them through the washing machine, very easy! I also find it easy to use, the five point harness works the same way as a stroller so its a quick process getting bub in and out. I highly recommend.

Solid, high quality product but very bulky
Chose this product because of its safety ratings. I believe it is a very sturdy product and comes with airbag on the side etc. We had to get it installed professionally, as it seemed very complicated to fit it. Whilst we are happy with the product, need to be mindful of how much space it occupies. It is a very big seat.

Driving Confidence
Seat looks and feels secure and safe. SICT provide extra confidence in the event of a collision. Frame feels solid and does not bend with force.
Size impinges on middle seat slightly and passenger seat has to move forward a little but would rather this size and depth over the slim line seats which felt flimsy.
Isofix attachments make the seat easy to install and remove. Seat also doesn't shift with isofix compared to seat belt attachment which allows some sideways movement.
Seat is easy to clean with all coverings easily disconnecte...Read more
d and reattached after washing without instructions. Seat fittings allow seat to be comfortable for extended rear facing. They also assisted in keeping bub secure when little meaning he didn't move at all when cornering in seat. Head rest also looks secure with no movement of head when but too little to support own.1 comment

Great seat!
We are very happy with our purchase of this seat for our first baby. He seems very happy and comfortable in this seat. It is well padded and high quality. Easy to get him in and out. I had it installed professionally as I just wanted to be sure of correct installation however I did observe the installation and it was relatively simple & hooks straight into Isofix points. The seat has side air cushions for added safety. The only negative is that you will need a large car (we have a wagon) as it takes a fair amount of space, especially when rear facing. Also sometimes I find due to extra padding baby can get hot. Overall a great and very safe seat.

Great car seat
My baby was premature and even with his tiny size, it fitted well. There was no need for a capsule. It is on the bulky end though so I can imagine it will be difficult to fit in a smaller vehicle. It's very easy to maintain. All the liners just come out and can be washed. My baby can rear face for quite a while which is perfect.

Good car seat but too hot in summer with all that padding that makes it platinum
It is a good quality car seat and was easy to install reading instructions provided. We could do it ourselves and did not need to use a professional fitting station as our car was already equipped with the hook. The cushioning is great but gets too hot in spring and summer and I can get away dressing the baby in lighter garments. It is suitable to be used form birth and will save money on a capsule.

Not worth the price tag!
whilst this seat was easy to install after 5 months the inbuilt seatbelt lock offs don’t work, the seat moves every time the car does. After contacting britax they assure me the seat is still safe for use even when it topples over from a tiny push and that the lock offs are added extras that not all seats have so aren’t necessary. Biggest waste of money and worst company to deal with!

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.
