Just like the other Britax car seats, the Regent is made of high quality materials and passed the highest safety standards in the market. Britax is known for its rigid testing standards and parents can breathe easily knowing that the Britax Regent will keep their child safe and comfortable as possible.
The key features of the Britax Regent are the following:
- Measures 37 x 22 x 13.7 inches
- Side Impact Protection - protects your child better from impact by distributing the crash forces, shielding the body from vehicle intrusion and limits the movement your baby’s head, neck and body
- Energy-Absorbing Base - it absorbs strong impact by deforming in the event of a crash
- Small Contoured Base - makes sure that the car seat is installed tightly in all kinds of vehicles
- No Re-thread Harness Adjustment - allows the height of the harness to be adjusted without having to re-thread the straps
- Convenient Harness Holders - keeps the straps in place and out of your way while you place your baby in the car seat
- Premium Push-Button Lower LATCH Connectors - allows you to install the car seat quickly and easily
- Patented, Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether - minimizes forward movement of your baby in the event of a crash with the staged-release tether webbing, which secures the top part of the seat at two points
The Britax Regent also has Plush, Premium cover set with matching belly pad and Infant Body Pillow, which adds to the comfort of the seat.
The Britax Regent is primarily designed for larger child passengers. It can hold child weighing from 22 lbs. to 88 lbs, in the front-facing position. The seat’s push-button LATCH connectors and versa-tether feature makes installation very easy and fast for parents. This ensures that the child is placed securely in the seat. The Britax Regent’s five-point harness is made of very strong and durable polyester material and is designed for tangle-free adjustment. The child can be placed easily on the seat because of the convenient belt holders. The harness of the seat fits to the child’s collarbone, shoulders and hips, which ensures a very snug but comfortable fit.
The seat is equipped with more safety features which are also present in other Britax child car seats. The energy-absorbing foam not only provides more protection for the child against strong impact, it also gives more comfort especially for long trips. The foam has the ability to divert harmful impact away from the child’s body. The seat’s plush padding is comfortable enough for your child to take pleasurable naps, which makes for peaceful car rides. Aside from that, the seat is equipped with mesh cup holders and storage pouches on the side, where you can store snacks and toys, easily within your little one’s reach.
Even with its size, the Britax Regent can fit comfortably inside most cars, even the regular-sized ones. It can take up majority of the space of the seat, but it does not obstruct views of the back window. This is because the top of the Regent is actually lower than the rear headrests, if they are in the lowest position.
The Britax Regent is available in several styles and colors. You will surely find the perfect Regent seat for your little boy or girl. Some of the styles available include the understated Sahara, with its tan and beige fabric, and the funky-looking Madison, with its pink and cream fabric. The cover and straps of the seats can be removed and washed easily. Make sure to follow the manual for the right washing instructions.
