Best car sears ever – I love this car seat. I bought two for my boy. one for my car and the other for my hubby very easy to install, easy to take the cloth off, wash and put it back on. the head supporter is movable up and down depending on your baby's head location. it will last up until my boy grows out of car seat. I bought an capsule for our second baby, as this… Read more · 1
car seat can be used from 6 month, she will be straight to this car sear after the capsule. very useful!
Worth the money – I bought 2 of these for my 2 & 4 year old and love them They are the easiest car seats to install and adjust strap length and headrest height. My kids are able to fall asleep in them and still have their head properly supported not like other car seat/ booster seats I’ve tried. Will be buying 2 more for second car. Show reply
Good Slim Seat – Easy to install and slim fit leaves plenty of room around it for other car seats. Well padded and soft for young children. 2 recline positions make it great for sleeping children. Covers age range of 6 months to 8 years which makes it a great long term car seat. Show reply
Awesome value for money – Just purchased this seat for my two year old son and it is great! So easy to install and it feels super safe. My boy loves it and his head doesn't move around while asleep like it did in his previous seat. Overall great seat and I highly recommend it Show reply
This is perfect for 6 months to 8 years – Britax Safe-n-Sound Maxi Lite is perfect for 6 months to 8 years, it is very light and easy to install and easy to adjust the strap. I'm happy with this seat and I would recommend this seat to others. I got it on sale for $198 from Baby bunting and the price is worth paying. Show reply
Safe car seat – Very easy to install. Good for grandparents to use. Not too bulky to fit into a smaller car. Good safety features easy to transfer to other vehicles straps could be a bit longer as the child gets older making it necessary to purchase a larger car seat for children earlier than possibly necessary.
Excellent car seat, best value – I run a family daycare & have just replaced my maxi riders for four of the maxilites. Looked at a number of carseats & this was the best value & fit our needs well, very happy I choose this model. Originally was going to go for the Maxiguard pro but decided we didn't need arm rest or cup holders & a lighter more narrow seat was the best option. As… Read more
I transport children of various ages the easy adjust harness is a must have. The fabric looks breathable & easy to wipe down. The seats are recommended for 6mths- 4yrs with built in harness, Though I'd be hesitant to put a child under 9mths in this & still use a rear facing car seat for any children under 12mths which I'd highly recommend. The harness however on this seat has a lot of room to grow, my 9month old fit nice & comfy & looked supported & I tested the seats on one of my 90 percentile in height 4yr olds to measure the sizing & there was very little difference with heights between maxilite & maxiguard & he still has plenty of room till he outgrows the shoulder harness on this seat, so I would definitely say a 6yr old could fit in this harness easily.
Nice sturdy Seat – This seat is superlight! it has two options for recline and adjust the straps is a easy job. Installation is the same as your usual car seat install and the space where you thread the seatbelt has plenty of room for you to put your hand through. Cushioning is good especially around the arms and head area. The only negative i can say on this… Read more
product is that the chair near the legs doesnt curve up near the sides of the leg and instead drops off, also the recline is not as reclined as it could be as my daughter seems to lean forward when she falls asleep. This was recommended by a friend. Overall the good points is that its easy to adjust the setting on the seat and well built.
Love it in black! – The Britax Safe-n-Sound Maxi Guard PRO was the 2nd carseat we bought (we gave one to the grandparents) and we liked it so much we had to go with Britax again when we bought our second car. However, being on a tighter budget we bought the lite version and havent looked back! As far as I can tell, there is very little difference between the two… Read more
versions, except that the PRO can go up to 8 years and this one 4 years (by then we plan to have a 2nd baby so will get a booster for 4+). It is comfortable for our 18mo toddler, with easy to adjust strap lengths and heights. Even in winter with different layers of clothing, we can easily adjust the seatbelt every time.
The good reputation of Britax also gives us peace of mind when considering our purchase. Technically this is the third Britax in our family - 1 grandparent, 2 cars. They supposedly also have a replacement guarantee if you're in a carcrash, so you dont get a compromised carseat. This would give me peace of mind if buying second hand, but the Britaxes get snapped up like hotcakes on Facebook Marketplace so hubby ran out of patience and bought it new.
good and happy with it – got it about three months ago when its on sales. it's light and easy to install. the seat belts are easy to adjust. It's good brand so trust the quality. think of choose between different models and in the end choose the one suitable for 4-8 years, so it can last long. recommended
Good seat for good price – Bought this seat as an age upgrade for my daughter with the arrival of my son as he took over her newborn convertible seat. The maxi kite I comfortable for her now she is getting bigger but still has the plushness and padding I was looking for too. Being slimline means its easy to get past her seat into the back row of our van too. Very happy with it
Its Good Car seat but there is one big drawback which I came to know only after few months of purcha – I bought the Britax Safe and Sound Car seat from baby bunting about a year ago for my 3year old daughter as we needed a second car seat to upgrade her to booster seat .Overall was very happy with it,but just paid a little more than my budget to buy this . The only drawback which pinched me is when about 6 months later I decided to wash the car… Read more
seat .
I removed the cover to wash it but to my surprise under the car seat the corner of this car seat has thermocol padding which were covered in food particles accumulated over the 6 months. It made me so very disappointed with this car seat for this only purpose. I felt really bad coz I dont really understand why was that thermocol padding provided under the seat covers and the sad part is the child can't sit on the seat if I remove this thermocol.
Its been a year now and every time I remove the covers its covered in the fungus of food particles.Its very diappointing .With safety perspactives and comfort its very good .
I bought this car seat for my 3 year old daughter so that this could last for next 3 or 4 years but after seeing whats under the covers I doubt it will last that long coz the thermocol is starting to rip as I try to clean it:(
Good seat that will last – I bought this as a second seat but have ended up using it as our full time seat. It's easy to install and you don't need to take it out to adjust the harness belt height as your child grows. It's padded and comfy but the base doesn't hug bubs legs so it's open and much cooler. It also reclines so when she's asleep her head doesn't fall forward... I'm very happy with this seat, it's definitely value for money. Show reply

Great for 2y/o – - easy to install, wish it were isofix like our original seat though. - straps are good but the padding needs tweaking. We took it off because it twists around etc... - Great amount of room for my daughter who is quite tall and a bigger build. - Much less sweaty due to the lower sides along the base. - head rest has good support. We… Read more · 1
bought this so that it could last her for years and it absolutely will. Straps adjust so easily without having to remove the seat and re thread straps.
Thanks
So glad we bought it – We bought this as we are expecting another baby so i wanted a 6mnth to 8 years seat so my 17 mnth can use it for years.it is easy to instal but the best thing about it is that you dont have to take the seat out and thread the seat belts through higher holes as your toddler grows. You just lift up a handle and the whole thing moves up with no… Read more · 1
effort! The only downer is that the padding pn the seat beats rub and hurt his neck if they are placed on his shoulders so we just move them onto his chest.
1 repair center in whole VIC. Leading brand? Are you serious? – I owe this seat since 5 years. Now out of warranty and I have issue with it. They have 1 "repair center" in Victoria which is in a bicycle store. That sort of customer support from a company who sells $600+ seats is really poor. The seat also just ok i never seen the real value behind it rather looked flimsy than safe.
Good but disappointed speakers stopped working – We bought this car seat as our 2nd car seat (both safe sounds) and have been happy with it in terms of comfort but it's a shame the speakers stopped working. It made the whole notion seem like a gimmic - when otherwise we're quite happy with the seat.
Terrific seat – We have two car seats and this is by far the better of the two. Very comfortable and my son can sleep in it happily. We got the basic model as seen without all the weird bells and whistles eg headphones and cup holder etc. Great seat and looks like it will last well. Comfortable for my son
Love this seat but wish it was smaller – We have used this seat for over a year now. My son has never complained about it and always seems to be comfortable, he is almost 3.5 and still seems to have plenty of room left in the harness (not booster). The straps are easy to adjust. The buckle is further forward and easy to clip them in. I thought the cup holders and speakers were… Read more
unnecessary but they have actually been so handy (when mum & dad are sick of listening to Play School music! haha). I put my other sons drink bottle in the second cup holder so it can be accessed. I don't think we will be able to use it though if we need 3 seats in the car, which is a shame. Comfort, useful accessories, good safety rating. Too bulky, one of the most expensive convertible booster seats
Great – We had this for a while now and we have been very happy with it. When we shopped for convertible booster seat, we had our 3 yo son sat on a few to try. We found some of the booster seats have the buckle so far back that it was really hard to put on without squashing his private bits - we have one (of different and cheaper brand) which we use in… Read more
our second car for our girl.
If you are buying for boys, I will definitely recommend this seat as it is so much more easier and comfortable for them. So easy to buckle kids in, especially for boys Expensive in comparison to other brand
Faultless!! I love this seat – This seat is faultless. I love everything about it. I have two of these one for my current 4 year old and one for my 11 month. The seat gives them both excellent support around the head at all heights and age with the moulded head rest unlike other seats when the child's falls asleep there head doesn't flop around, the straps are easy to adjust… Read more
when needed, head rest grow with the children giving them the support, covers are easy to remove and wash, it has a slide guard clip which is a extra safety feature with a harness or adult belt. It's easy to convert to booster mode when needed. My 4 year old still fits in the inbuilt harness which I love because its safer. The buckle stays forward so children don't sit on it when getting in. It is suitable from aprox 6 months till 8 years. It has a good safety rating for both carseat and booster mode. I recommend this 100% to parents, careers and grandparents. I've had other car seats and none tick all the boxes the maxi ahr do Keeps children in a harness longer and the head rest gives head support It is on the bigger side but I have 2 in the car and still can fit a passenger in. If any thee dear was needed a capsule can fit or slimmer seat such as a safe and sound compac
