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.
