MY REVIEW
I used to think all infant car seats were pretty much created equally…but that was before I had a really nice one!
Britax sent us the Chaperone to try out and review with brand new baby Linus, and the difference between baby Linus in the car seat and baby Gus in the car seat is night and day. Most babies enjoy car rides and are easily lulled to sleep – Gus cried and screamed CONSTANTLY while in the car, and I am sure it was because the car seat we had was uncomfortable for his little body. Linus is such an angel in the car and almost always falls asleep as soon as we put him in his car seat.
The Chaperone is well padded with high density comfort foam and lots of extra support for brand new infants. There’s a head support that is so slick – there’s a handy mechanism in the back that allows you to move the head support up and down as the baby grows WITHOUT having to take the entire car seat apart.
I love how user friendly this car seat is. Most car seats do require complete dismantling to adjust as the baby grows, and the Chaperone’s adjustment features are so easy to use.
I also love the sun shade – it’s sturdy and will definitely withstand by two “helpers” adjusting it all the time. It comes out to cover almost the entire car seat so baby never has to be in direct sunlight or exposed to wind and snow.
Another great feature is the little level on the back to make sure the car seat is sitting in the safest position in the car.
Other features include
- True Side Impact Protection
- Anti-Rebound Bar (on car seat base)
- Quick Adjust, No-ReThread Harness (my personal favorite)
The Chaperone fits infants up to 30 pounds and is compatible with a whole bunch of strollers, including my Tike Tech jogger!
The car seat releases from the base with a quick pull of a single button handle and it comes with strap cushions to protect baby’s sensitive skin and improve comfort.
There’s also a very convenient height adjustment knob on the base to ensure proper positioning in the car. No rolled up towels or blankets…just a few twists of the knob and you’re set!
The Chaperone has been a bit of luxury in this crazy newborn time. Car travel is so much easier for me and comfortable for Linus which means everyone is happy!
