Britax Safe-n-Sound Slimm-Line AHR Review

I have used Britax branded car seats off and on since having my first child and they have done nothing but impress me. From comfort to safety, they know what they are doing. I have been fortunate enough to never have been involved in a car accident but I have trust in the car seats we use that should it occur, they will have the best protection available to them.

What I love about it

As you know, we welcomed our 4th child to the family a few weeks ago. Yes our 4th! This means not only did we need a new car seat, we also required a larger car to cater to our growing family. Our new car has enough seats to fit all the kids in but there is not a great deal of space left when there are 2 car seats in the back and a child needing to sit in between them. This is why we first looked at the Britax Safe-n-Sound Slimm-Line AHR.

• Narrow – It is narrow in comparison to other seats on the market making it ideal for families like ours or those with small cars.

• ISOFIX – The Slimm-Line allows for easy ISOFIX installation, it is just one of the added safety benefits this seat has to offer. For more information on child restraints in cars click here.

• Comfort – Even though it is narrower than other car seats, it doesn’t lose any comfort! This is so important, especially when taking long trips in the car. The Thermo5 fabric is one of Britax’s newest revolutions. It is a bamboo fabric that is soft and smooth on skin, knitted with airflow and is perfect for children of all ages.

• Convertible car seat – I love that this seat can be used from birth to 4 yrs. It saves parents money without the concern they have to compromise on safety. This particular seat allows your child to be rear facing for longer (from birth to 2-3 years) and forward facing from 12 months to 4 years.

• Head protection – In the event of a side impact crash, the Active Head Restraint (AHR) will provide additional protection for your child. You can never be too safe!

• Easy to use harness – Like previous models, the Slimm-Line features the harness holder. Its technical name but is Ez-Buckle System, it is basically the insert that surrounds the buckle and holds it out of the way when you are placing your child into the seat. Saves a lot of time trying to locate it under their backsides.

**Please note that all pictures are taken on different angles to show you the seat in its entirety. As a result some pictures may appear to be reclined more than others, however seat is installed to required specifications.

Specifications

• Suitable from birth to approx. 4 years.
• Weighs approx. 7.6kg.
• Dimensions: Rearward facing – H: 680mm D: 525mm W: 440mm, Forward Facing Upright – H: 525mm D: 400mm W: 440mm, Forward Facing Reclined – H: 725mm D: 380mm W: 440mm.
The only thing this seat doesn’t have that I would have loved, is the buckle holders on the side like the Platinum SICT. Apart from that I cannot fault this seat at all.
The Britax Safe-n-Sound Slimm-Line AHR gives me peace of mind that I am providing my baby with the most protection possible each and every time we get into the car.

The post Britax Safe-n-Sound Slimm-Line AHR Review + Giveaway appeared first on All Mum Said.

With the festive season well and truly upon us many families have to travel to get to their Christmas or holiday destinations. With extra traffic on the roads also comes an increased risk of accidents and when you have children in the car you want to make sure they are in the safest possible car seat. You may have seen the new Safe-n-Sound Platinum SICT convertible car seat in stores and online; they are suitable for newborn – 4 years and are Britax Safe-n-Sounds safest seat yet. I have been reviewing this specific car seat for the past few weeks with my almost 6 month old daughter and when it’s said how great this seat is they are not exaggerating!

 There are so many things to tell you about this car seat that I don’t even know where to begin! So I’ll start at my favourite features and then move to the safety side of things. The car seat is padded enough that it is soft and comfortable for babies/kids to sit in for long periods of time and remain extremely supportive on their little backs. I love the thick fabric behind the buckle (also known as the EZ-Buckle System) because Hadley is at the ‘big chubby thighs’ stage and this prevents any digging in of the buckle and straps or accidental clipping of the leg and it also retains the buckle in a forward position for easy access.

The fabric used in this car seat is also breathable unlike a lot of others on the market. While it is wonderfully padded and soft they have managed to do so while using a material that breathes which is great especially now that we have hit summer. Hadley hasn’t come out of the seat sweaty or hot once which is the complete opposite to what happens when she gets out of her other car seat in Mr Dads car.

The Platinum SICT has deep side wings that provide side impact protection and when it’s accompanied by SICT (side impact cushion technology) and AHR (active head restraint) which provides head protection and grows with your child you will not have to be concerned if this provides enough impact safety for your child. The SICT is positioned in Torso and Headrest region to minimise the energy generated in a side impact crash.

There are two other little features that they have been added to make parents lives just that little bit easier. One being they have included harness holders to help keep the harness out of the way while placing your child in the seat and the other is the easy adjust which automatically re-positions the shoulder straps. They have truly thought of everything!

The Platinum SICT comes in 3 colours (silver is my favourite), has 4 reclines options for forward facing use and shoulder pads for extra comfort. While it is a little dearer than many other car seats on the market it is worthy of the price tag that comes along with it. The peace of mind knowing my child is safe is worth it. The RRP is $659.
