Britax Chaperone: A Consumer Review
The Britax Chaperone is the latest infant carrier model from Britax USA. Designed for babies weighing four to 30 pounds, it can also fit most premature babies. It is packed with safety and comfort features for the first few months up to one year.
The features of the Britax Chaperone are the following:
- Weighs 10 pounds
- True Side Impact Protection - True Side Impact Protection - protects your child more from impact by distributing the crash forces, shielding the body from vehicle intrusion and lessens your baby’s side-to-head movement to lessen the chances of injury
- Energy-Absorbing Foam Liner - it absorbs and distributes the force of the crash
- No Re-thread Harness Adjustment - allows the height of the harness to be adjusted without having to re-thread the straps
- Premium Push-Button Lower LATCH Connectors - allows you to install the car seat quickly and easily
- Ergonomic carry-handle - it contours to the forearm to make it more comfortable for parents to carry the seat
- Front Harness Adjuster - for effortless front adjustment of the harness system
- Easy-to-Read Level Indicators - provides quick reference for proper angle of recline
The Britax Chaperone also has Plush, Premium cover set with matching belly pad and Infant Body Pillow, which adds to the comfort of the seat.
The Chaperone is a lightweight and portable carrier that is compatible with a lot of stroller brands in the market. The carrier features the True Side Impact Protection, a standard with all Britax carriers and car seats. This feature provides extra protection for your child’s head, spine and chest, which are extremely vulnerable during accidents. The feature distributes crash forces and shields your little one from vehicle intrusion.
The carrier has the No Re-thread Head Restraint, which makes harness and restraint adjustment fast and easy for parents. Aside from saving lots of time in adjusting the harness and straps, the feature ensures that your baby’s properly positioned, with a snug but comfortable fit.
The Britax Chaperone is equipped with easy-to-read level indicators. It makes an easy job out of achieving the correct angle of recline and making sure that your baby will be safe all throughout the ride.
The overall weight and dimension of the carrier is typical of its range. It’s not super light but it is not very heavy either. The Britax Chaperone is a bit narrower than the typical infant seat, which is a plus if you have a really small vehicle. The carrier is made for the comfort and convenience of both baby and parent. It is equipped with an extra large canopy which protects your baby against rain and the harmful rays of the sun. The energy-absorbing, high-density foam provides extra protection for your little one against impact. The Chaperone has an ergonomic carry handle which is made to fit to the forearm and body, therefore making it easier for mom or dad to carry the carrier. The Chaperone’s plush, removable covers are made of high quality fabric that is machine-wash ready.
The Britax Chaperone Infant Carrier can be bought together with the Britax Chaperone Infant Carrier Base and Britax Chaperone Stroller. However, each item is sold separately. The Carrier and the Stroller comes in various styles and colors. One of the most popular styles is the Cowmooflage, a delightful fabric with cow pattern design. Other designs include Red Mill, Savannah and Unity Blue.
Overall, the Britax Chaperone is worth its pretty hefty price tag. Aside from being comfortable and stylish, all Britax carriers and baby seats have passed all safety standards and can be used for a very long time. Make sure to read the manual first to know how to use the carrier properly.
