Britax Safe-n-Sound Kid Guard
Verified10 reviews
My 139cm 10yo doesn't quite fit safely into the seat belts in either of our cars yet. She was also feeling uncomfortable in the harnessed seat we have for her and rapidly approaching the exit height. She is happy that the lap-sash seatbelt now fits her comfortably. I was able to install the seat easily myself at BabyBunting. I believe it will be easy to transfer between cars due to being light weight and only needing the tether clip. Show details · 1
Safe and Comfy with room to grow – Great seat, our child outgrew the maxi guard pro but weren’t ready for no seat yet and the kid guard is a great fit for them. They have heaps of room to grow as the head rest and exit marker extends quite high. It’s just as comfy for them as it has the same material/padding as the MGP, Bonus points for the added side protection. The guides for the… Read more · 1
seatbelt help us get the perfect fit and it’s very easy to install and adjust the headrest as they grow.
Perfect for 3 across – Previously I had 2 mother's choice boosters installed on either side but after my 3rd was born we needed to fit 3 across the back of our Hyundai i30. Once we installed the baby seat it was almost impossible to reach the belt buckle that my kids simply cannot do it. I did research and decided to get this one due to the narrow base Whilst it can be… Read more · 1
a little tricky my kids are used to it and can buckle themselves in now which is a great help!! At the time of purchase it is the seat with the most narrow base yet still one of the top safest boosters in ranking. I do think it is expensive tho..
Brilliant for smaller kids over 10 years old – This is the best seat for smaller kids over ten years old. My son had outgrown his hi-liner at the age of ten, but was still not meeting the five step rule for moving to an adult car seat. After hours and hours of research I found the Kid guard Pro (same model as this one) at my local small baby shop. This seat was the best one around to meet his… Read more · 1
size, as there are really no others on the market to fit older kids that are on the smaller side.
My son turned thirteen (in year 8) In April this year and has only just outgrown this seat and is able to meet the five step. I can not praise this seat enough for providing my son with a safe way to travel in the car. Thank you Britax - Safe and sound.
Pros - - fits smaller kids for longer
- has the anti submarine clip
- excellent head and torso protection from side impact (which is width adjustable)
- Very easy to transfer to multiple vehicles
- Fit really well in our 2019 Kia Carnival
- Has an adjustable seat base to fit better as the legs grow.
Cons - - Is a little expensive (but so worth it)
- Is quite tall when fully extended and can block some rear vision (mainly in our Falcon)
- at the higher settings did not fit very well in our 2012 XR6 Ford Falcon sedan on the side seats.
Excellent! – My Son is tall, almost 11 and still fits. We’ve loved the extra protection for him. The slide guard to protect against submarining is a good feature. He says it’s comfortable. Show details · 1
good for extended use but be weary in installing 3 across – This seat is an easy to use booster that has the flexibility to grow by height, depth, and width as your child grows. Options that are not widely offered by other manufacturers. However, I found this seat not to be suitable for use with three across as claimed by Britax. While lightweight and easy to use, this seat has a feature that enables you… Read more
to widen the wings of the seat to accommodate an older child. The issue with this feature is, because the wings are not secured, they can be moved in and out. This means that when installed with three across, the wings push in towards the middle of the seat narrowing the torso area of the seat. when installed in the center, the seat was so squashed that Master 8 could not fit comfortably. The seat was then moved to the side position where one side wing was pushed in meaning the middle point for the torso was off-center.
Wonderful practical functional grows with child – We bought this for our very tall thin 5yr old. It was able to be adjusted to suit both his height and weight. Easy installation. Easy to adjust height, side panels and seat. Our son finds it very comfortable. Easy simple process for removal and installation. Would definitely recommend this seat. Show details · 1
1 star is too much. Waste of money – We bought this seat for our 4 yr old and find it hard to say something positive about this product. We had it professionally installed, and it was not stable in the slightest. The shell is flimsy and padding practically non existent. Within 15 mins of my child sitting in the seat they were in tears of pain. We went back to the store and adjusted… Read more
the seat and we tried again. The same pain happened again so back to the store. This time they recommend putting a box under the childs feet to relieve pressure off the lower spine and bottom area where it was causing pain. We tried to do longer trips but without fail 15 mins and they were in tears of pain. Im really disappointed in this product and the company as a whole. Easy to click child into.

Excellent – Great, easy to use, easy to fit/install and comfortable. You won't regret it. I'm just sad this is the end of the line for our Britax needs. We also use it with a Britax Vehicle Seat Protector (the rubbery one) as it's on leather car seats. So it stops any potential slippage or mess. Show details · 1
Great seat for older kids - wish it went to 145 cm – I bought this a week ago for my 7 year old, as I tried him in my daughter's (5) Safe N Sound High Liner which was a little too snug for him width-wise (even though he's slight). Super easer to install, it took less than 5 minutes. Child looks very comfortable in it and can easily buckle himself in. The seat area is nice and narrow, so he doesn't… Read more · 1
have to fish around getting the buckle in, he can see it clearly next to him. (Old seat it was almost underneath him). One thing to note it doesn't have cup/bottle holders, but payoff is that it's slimline. You can make the "wings" wider and the seat deeper to fit, so I can see him using it for a few year. It's suited for 4 - 10 years or 135 cm. The only drawback is it fits to 135 cm and you children are meant to stay in a booster til 145 cm according to Britax website. I had assumed this seat would see him through! I believe the Kid Guard Pro goes up to 145, I should have shelled out the extra $100.
