One4Life^® Slim ClickTight^® All-in-One Car Seat & Booster Combo

I purchased one of these car seats about 6 months ago for my car and loved it. It feels very safe and doesn't wiggle at all. Over Thanksgiving we purchased a second one for my husband's car. I was really confused to see that the model my husband received was slightly different than the one I purchased 6 months ago. This new version has an additional "positioning layer" that you can't remove. Thus my toddler sits higher and more forward in this new model. The problem with this is that even when routed through the most-forward slot (which doesn't seem correct for a 13 month old when this seat should last until he's 10 years old), the crotch buckle sits too low and it digs into his thighs when buckled. I have it routed through both the shell and the cushioning. There's no way to loosen the buckle at all. If I could remove the positioning layer, then it could sit a little bit higher above his thighs like the original model does, but there's nothing I can really do. Pretty disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We installed the Britax One4Life Slim All-In-One car seat in our F-150 extended cab truck. We have 3 children, only one of which can ride in a booster, so basically three car seats across. My two favorite features of this Britax car seat are the slim design and the way the across anchor belt can be stored within. I’ve never had a slim car seat before, but I can see the difference it makes. I also really liked the fabric design - which isn’t necessary, but an added bonus (got the mineral gray). The car seat was relatively easy to install, but I do think it requires reading the instructions thoroughly. The cup holders are optional, but installing them doesn’t take away from the slim design. My only critique of the car seat is the harness release. I feel like it is in a low position and it seemed I had to really push it to be able to loosen the harness, but maybe over time it will be a little easier. Overall, it’s a great car seat! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This is overall a wonderful car seat. I was a little surprised at the heavy weight of the carseat but it's not an issue since we don't change between cars. This car seat is a high quality car seat built for security and comfort. We were a little confused about the installation of the car seat backwards with the click tight system but once we read in the manual how to access that, its a pretty great feature. The car seat shows the routing of the belt for different set ups. Once in place, seems like a secure seat. The ventilation features of the car seat are wonderful for our warm kiddo. The seat is also well designed for easy cleaning. It's a minimalist type design with comfort and secure structure. I don't love the chest buckle compared for another car seat we have but it's completely functional with no issues. This seat is also great for a slim fit to get three people in the back seat. The click tight system also is a nicer feature for three car seats because you didn't have to struggle to use the latch system worth three seats since you use the seat belt.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression is that this is an absolutely beautiful carseat! We have 3 kiddos - 8, 4, and 2 so we've had our share of carseats and highback booster seats. Also both grandmas have carseats to transport our kiddos so it's safe to say, that we have done a LOT of carseat installs! Right out of the box, it's definitely heavier than other seats we have had so it's probably not the best to travel with or change between cars, but it felt extremely sturdy and I know it will keep our kiddo safe. I love that it will last from the newborn stage (even though we don't have a newborn) through the big kid stage. It's super helpful not to have to buy another carseat when they get bigger! Also, it allows you to keep your child rear facing longer if you have the space to do so in your backseat. Pros: - you only need this seat for the whole time your child needs a carseat - it's beautiful and stylish - it's slim fit in case you need to fit 3 across your backseat - adjustment was easy to fit our 2 yr old - material feels durable and you can pull the inside part out to wash Cons: - it's heavy and bulky despite it being a slim fit model - it wasn't slimmer than our previous slim fit seat, but it's definitely slimmer than a regular seat - it's pricey, but I do believe it falls in line with other models of the same brand I had to read the instructions a few times as this is my first Britax seat so I wasn't familiar with the install and it was a little confusing to me. (I might be in minority on this because it seems that others had no issues with install). Overall, I would recommend this seat, especially as a slimfit option! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already had a car seat that was narrow for 3 across use, and while it was a good seat, it had some functional problems in my car. For this reason, I was thrilled to receive this Britax seat for free in exchange for my honest review from Stellar. This seat is exceptionally easy to install. I have 3 kids and I have had many car seats, and this seat so far is right up high on my favorite list. The cover is plush and I love the silver/Grey (I live in a hot place) and though the seat is narrow for 3 across it is not so long front to back that my front passenger seat is unusable (a real problem with the seat this is replacing). I would absolutely have spent my own money on this seat and am really glad we had the chance to try it out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has purchased ~8 carseats, this was the EASIEST install experience. I didn’t even have to google a how-to video and rewatch it over and over again. It was very intuitive. That said, it’s a heavy car seat so although the install is quick, it’s not a “portable” car seat. The slim design is great, doesn’t feel restrictive or tight for my toddler, and fits in my car with 2 additional car seats/boosters. The fabric is good quality and the seat itself feels plush. Easy to buckle in and out—and the adjustable headrest is great and easy to use. I hiff g hot recommend. I received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
