B-Safe 35 Infant Car Seat

When we had our first in 2021 we bought a travel system that came with a Britax b-safe gen2. It was a very good seat and overall we liked it, but in hindsight I wish we'd gone with a Graco or Chicco carseat because they're not as heavy as our Britax. Then we probably could have kept using the infant seat a bit longer. We switched him to a convertible at 10mo because his weight + the carseat was getting too heavy for me to life in and out of the car. I definitely recommend an infant seat to start off with, especially if baby is measuring small. Convertible car seats don't always fit newborns well, and preemies/smaller babies are even trickier to get a good fit for.

We started out with the britax travel set up. Came with a jogger stroller and infant car seat that popped in the stroller. Can be placed in a car with a seat belt and no base if necessary. Its lasted us 4 kids, still looks great. I still use the jogger stroller for my 1 year old. But also I had purchased the britax double stroller since it was all compatible and I had my kids close together. And I have a decent umbrella stroller for tight spaces and easy grab and go. But, the jogger stroller is definitely the most durable, good quality and still glides quiet and smoothly after 7 years.

Highly recommend Britax One4life. They also make a slim version. Was in a head on crash when someone crossed the median on a highway and hit us head on. We’re so lucky we survived and my daughter who was 14months at the time had no injuries. I only use Britax car seats now.. expecting my third and got a Britax infant seat.

Love Britax! We did the infant seats (they fit our strollers) & then switched to the All4One (which I think is being phased out for a different one.) So easy to use - installation, adjustments, day to day use, genuinely dummy proof.

My daughter kept getting car sick in the Rava so it became a fixture of the garage. She used a Britax and Graco primarily. Switched back to Nuna for a booster only because it was one of two that would fit properly in my car and she's never said anything about it being nicer than any of her other seats or her non Nuna booster in the other car. I honestly don't think you can pick a wrong seat - go look at them in store and see what features you think would be best for your car and family and if she's long now look for one that has the highest rear facing height limits.
