Britax B-Safe Gen2 Lightweight Infant Car Seat - Eclipse Black (SafeWash)

I love the Britax brand for their high safety standards. I know I can count on Britax to take all the necessary steps to ensure my baby's safety. I have only owned the Britax brand so I was excited to give this newer model a try.

The carseat is easy to install and comes with a removable base. I placed this base and a previous model base I owned into our vehicles. It is nice that the base is universal and can be used with multiple models. I like how I am able to easily transfer my baby back and forth from each vehicle. The carseat base uses a latch system which is so simple and easy to install. There is a push button on the base that allows you to adjust the recline angle and a level to ensure you have installed the carseat correctly. There are straps to tighten to ensure the base has a tight fit in your vehicle. The base also stays tight and doesn't shake lose over time. To remove the carseat there is a lever on the back to release and lift up to remove. I never have any problems with the lever getting stuck or the carseat being difficult to remove.

The bucket seat is deep and enforced using a steel frame so my baby is more protected. The frame does make it a bit heavier but not too bad. This upgrade is worth it to me for the safety. The carseat is also equipped with side impact protection. Britax's high safety standards drew me toward buying their brand and is the reason I will continue to use this brand again and again. The carseat is also a lot roomier to accommodate the various sizes and stages of my growing baby. My favorite feature on this carseat is the soft and comfortable material throughout the seat. The material is also safe to wash so I don't have to worry about blowouts or spit up messes. The comfy padding under the material adds a level of coziness for my baby.

I also love the sturdy canopy which also gives me a few stopping positions to cover my baby. The material it is made of seems durable which will help with the frequent use of the canopy overtime. There is a push button on each side of the canopy to remove as needed or for cleaning. There are four handle positions on the carseat with push buttons on each side to adjust. This way you are not limited to having the handle only stay in one position. The one thing I don't like is the handle gets caught on the canopy while adjusting the handle. So, I have to push down on the canopy in order to move the handle.

The buckle is my favorite feature! The chest clip has a tighter connection than with other models I have owned. I also love that there is a one handed buckle release. The carseat has a slot on each side allowing a convenient place for me to hold the harness while I'm placing my baby inside. These slots also act as a seatbelt for my baby if I'm using this carseat in a vehicle without the base. Another one of my favorite features is a hidden compartment for the harness strap adjuster. I love this feature because the strap doesn't hang out or get dirty when the carseat is placed on the floor. One thing I found difficult was making adjustments to the buckle underneath the carseat. The buckle strap yoke doesn't fit through the hole very easily. I had to angle and push back and forth in order to get it through. I understand it was designed so tightly so it doesn't come out easily. It was just awkward to work with and the process took longer than expected. I don't have to do this very often so it's not something I worry too much about.

The carseat also comes equipped with built in stroller attachments to conveniently add onto any Britax brand stroller giving me a complete travel system. It is not trouble at all if you don't own a Britax stroller. I bought Britax stroller adapters to attach to another stroller brand I use. The complete travel system allows me the convenience of transitioning from car to stroller without too much hassle. The carseat easily attaches to the stroller adapters and the removal is just as easy. The whole process is very seamless.

Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me a chance to try this carseat. I just have to say how much I love this newer model and the upgrades!

The Britax B-safe Gen2 is nearly the quality of a high end infant carrier. I received the product as a part of the Stellar product Testing Panel. From the initial unboxing, I was impressed with how easy it was to latch in the car. It took less than a minute to snap into my car. I drive a midsize SUV and it was a bit snug in the backseat.

The seat cover material reads higher end and being able to remove it and wash it is amazing!! I was disappointed with the quality of the canopy. The canopy could stand to be longer and the material is thin and stiff.

I also am not a fan of the buckle. The "one hand" buckle is not quite as described and is rather hard to use.

Overall, I've owned a high end carrier and this one has many similar features.

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, we were able to try the Britax B-Safe Gen2 Infant Car Seat for our 3 month old daughter. There were some features about the car seat we really: it was very lightweight to carry; it was easy to put our daughter in (she didn't fuss at all!); the baby's harness straps were easy to use; and the cover easily came off for washings. We also really liked the car seat's ability to be strapped in a car without the need for a base, which helped a lot when Grandma needed to pick up the baby - this was our favorite feature! Although the car seat has excellent safety features, they didn't seem any different to us from other brands we've tried. In fact, we weren't pleased with how upright our daughter sat in the seat since she is so young and should be reclined a bit more. Also, the canopy catches on the handle each time we move the carry handle. We were not pleased with the lower connectors because they tuck into the base for storage when not in use and are VERY hard to get out of this spot. Once in, the straps to tighten the base to the seat were difficult to find, and, once found, they were difficult to pull. Overall, we give this car seat a B+!

I've always used Britax car seats for my older kids once they were forward facing and now I wish I'd gone with Britax for their infant seats as well. I received the Gen 2 car seat through the WeeSpring Stellar Product Testing Panel. The safety is unparalleled- you know your child is comfy and safe as can be. The carry bar is more comfortable than others I've used and the canopy is really sturdy. I don't have to worry about it being kicked / pulled off by an active baby. My favorite thing though is that the car seat base has a lower profile than others which makes it much easier to "fold" the seat to let people into the 3rd row of the car. The only thing I dislike is that the car seat itself feels heavy compared to others. If I always had the travel system with me it would be less of an issue but carrying the heavier seat plus baby is tough. Especially when you consider that baby keeps on getting heavier... overall though a fabulous car seat and I highly recommend.

I love the simple color of this car seat as it's gender neutral and can be used for multiple babies. You can tell the quality is really top notch compared to other brands. It feels sturdy and secure, when tightening baby in I feel like she's going to be safe. It's just enough cushion to be comfy but also safe. It was really easy to install in the car which is a huge plus. We also put it on our Britax running stroller and loved being able to use it for running and outdoor use. This is sleek, but also safe for baby. It's a win win. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant seat.

I have been using Britax products since my first son was born 3 years ago, with our newest addition I didn't think much had changed in infant seats, was I WRONG!! I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I couldn't be happier. The new Britax infant car seat is sleeker, the fabric more breathable, lighter, all in all a new and improved version. Out with the old and in with the NEW! It also clicks right into my Britax stroller so toddler and baby can roll in style together.

We received the B-Safe Gen2 through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Since we previously owned the earlier generation B-Safe and B-Safe Elite it was easy to see all the updates Britax made!

The new B-Safe is noticeably roomier and we loved that the canopy now feels sturdier and more water-resistant. The redesigned buckle is also much easier to open with one hand which is great when you're getting baby out of the seat.

Install was very easy - just position the base and adjust using the built-in levels, click on the LATCH connectors, and tighten. One thing we love about all of our Britax car seats is that they install very securely and don't move over time like some other brands we've tried. Once the base is installed you can just click the car seat in, or remove it to click it into a stroller instead. The Gen2 works with the same car seat adapters and bases that the previous generation did as well, which is great for our family.

Of course what we really love about Britax is their high safety standard. The B-Safe Gen2 has ample cushioning and protection around the baby's head which is obviously the most important thing in a car seat!

Overall Britax has taken our favorite infant car seat in the B-Safe and made it even better with the updates to the Gen2. Highly recommended!

A heartfelt thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing my family to test this Britax B-Safe Gen2 Infant Car Seat. The very first thing I took note of is the weight of this car seat as it is on the heavy side. The weight naturally makes it feel more sturdy and durable than lighter seats but it's too heavy for my lifestyle. With Covid we are certainly home more often than not but when I am out running errands I often have several to do in one trip. Having to lug this seat in and out is tiresome. Add to that lifting this up into and out of a cart because it's too heavy to carry for even a short trip has my back screaming at me. It installs like a dream, the latch system and the instructions make that easy work. The buckles can be maneuvered one handed which is a lovely feature. The fabric is soft however it has little padding and I can imagine that could be very uncomfortable on long rides. I appreciate the rubberized grip on the handle and the buttons to adjust the handle are sized and placed perfectly. I love that the canopy can be extended or retracted without making a sound so there's no disturbing a sleeping baby. My favorite feature is the ease of removing the cover to toss in the washing machine as necessary, they made this so easy and such a time saver! Overall, this feels like a safe seat for my infant to travel in the car with and I trust it to do its job.

The Britax B-Safe Gen2 car seat is very safe and super easy to use! I used a Britax car seat with my last baby, so I was excited to try their newest model. Upon taking the car seat and base out of the box, I was impressed with how substantial both the car seat and base felt. The seat is very deep, so the baby is very protected. The patented SafeCell Technology is very impressive, which includes features such as an impact-absorbing base, steel frame and side impact protection. There is foam that surrounds the head, neck and body as well. I know my baby is safe when she is in this car seat.
I love the ease of using the Britax B-Safe Gen2 car seat! The included instruction manual is very detailed and provides easy to follow steps. Adjusting the strap height was very simple. The car seat locks in to the base easily. Following the instructions on how to install the car seat base with the latch system in our car was very straight forward, and the level on the side of the base was very helpful. I also love that there is the option to use a seat belt if needed. Our baby seemed very comfortable when placed in the B-Safe Gen2 car seat, and it was easy to put her in and take her out. I also love that the SafeWash Cover is machine wash and dryable! Our little girl has frequent blowouts and spits up constantly (what baby doesn't, right?!), so this is a huge perk!
My favorite features of the Britax B-Safe Gen2 car seat is the safety features. Britax has clearly made a very safe and easy to use car seat, and I feel very comfortable putting my little girl in the B-Safe Gen2. I highly recommend this car seat!
Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending us this car seat to try!

I have to start off by saying I LOVE the feel of the material! I also need to quickly point out the sturdy design of the base. It definitely makes me feel safe with the extra measures they've taken including the crumple zone on the side (which also looks cool!). The seat is about average weight compared to others I have used but the ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to carry. I really like that the release for the straps is hidden to prevent any crumbs or gunk getting in there. It's smooth to tighten and loosen the straps and the buckles feel secure but are also not hard to release. The canopy is good-sized and isn't as flimsy as others that I've used. There are a few things I don't care for. One is that there is no bottom pad for infants - it's helpful when there are blowouts! Also the headrest isn't great for infants because it's pretty thin and leaves a lot of room between the babies head and the side of the car seat. It doesn't hug their head as well as others. I also noticed sometimes when I take the car seat out if I don't push the button really hard one side of the car seat won't release from the base and I have to push it back down and try again. This can be a good thing too, but it annoys me sometimes. I do like that all the fabrics are machine washable and that the lap belt slots hold the harness to the side for me when I'm putting the baby in. This car seat was really easy to install and get a tight fit using the latch system. I don't have a Britax stroller but I absolutely love that the car seat has the adapters built in to snap into any Britax stroller. Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this car seat to review!

Through the generosity of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was gifted this car seat and base to try at no cost to me. This is our third child and we have never strayed from the Britax brand, for obvious reasons. My wife and I did a lot of research on car seat safety and stroller systems with our first child in 2016 -- we selected a Britax system then and never looked back. A lot has changed with the makeup and comfort of these infant seats over the years and this B-Safe Gen2 Infant Car Seat is certainly the best we have used. Though all the Britax seats are top notch in safety, this one is top notch in comfort. My 4 month old daughter is snug and secure in this seat and as a dad, I appreciate the simplicity of the color and design (nothing gaudy or bright). We have not had to remove the cover yet to wash but it looks incredibly easy and intuitive. We've used the LATCH system with Britax historically and this is one of the primary reasons we continue to purchase this brand, as the install of these seats is seamless, quick, and secure. The interior is cushiony (almost a little too much so, as is elevates my daughter up higher than I would expect) and it's a comfortable seat to carry as well from a parent perspective. It slides easily under the arm crook and holds nicely when grabbing it with one hand. My only complaint in that regard is the slim space between the handle and shade when fully expanded. We pull the shade down in the car when it's around nap time to encourage a dark sleeping environment and when we go to pull her out of the car and she's still sleeping, it's challenging to smoothly slip your handle in between the shade and handle to remove from the car. A small thing but crucial for parents trying to encourage a few more minutes of sleep. It's a bit heavier than my other Britax infant seats but that doesn't bother us at all...it makes it feel more robust and safe in my mind.

We have used this with our old Britax stroller and it clicks seamlessly, as expected with no converter necessary. I also like the click-to-release harness button....seems to be improved from models past and releases with less effort and tension. My wife is ecstatic about this feature as it's sometimes hard for her to release the other buttons with one hand.

Overall, this is an excellent seat and I would recommend this seat and brand to anyone with new children. This is our 8th Britax seat (including other infant seats, convertibles, and boosters) and it does not disappoint.

I received this car seat to test out from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have three kids still in car seats (an infant, and two in forward facing seats. When we brought my third baby home, I found it VERY difficult to get all three seats in. If I had tried the Britax from the get go, I would have saved myself A LOT of frustration. The base is pretty slim and it fits so much better with the two other seats. It was a bit harder to install and get properly tightened, which is mainly why I didn't give it five stars. It sits up much higher than my other infant seat, which I liked, and I loved how deep the seat is. Baby just looks a bit safer sitting down further in the seat, having the sides come up higher around him. I also find it a little harder to unlatch the seat when removing from the base-but maybe that's a good thing? I also love the material the seat is made out of, it doesn't seem like it would stain easily and will be easy to clean when spills do happen. I would recommend this seat, it feels like a solid, safe option for an infant seat. My only complaint was installation, it just wasn't as easy to tighten in as I would have liked.

I received this product from the Stellar product testing panel. The carseat is solid black and nothing magnificent to look at. It is lighter than a lot of different seats but you can feel the safety features (the thinker straps, steel frame, and padded interior). It does not have a lot of padding and you can feel some of the support inside where the child sits (I am not sure if it is more me or the child that feels it). My child seemed to be very comfortable in this seat!

Installing the base was very easy once I figured out how to get the Latch system out of the base. It was a little loose for my liking so I also added the seat belt and again, super easy.

Another plus about the base and seat is that they are thin. I could see being able to fit multiple seats in the car with this base/ seat set.

Overall, 4 stars and would recommend with today's vehicles!

This is the best infant car seat I have ever owned and I have four kids! First, and of course most importantly, is safety. As with all Britax products I've owned I feel that my little guy is safe and protected when I put him in this car seat. Secondly, you can throw the cover in the washing machine. I repeat the car seat cover is machine washable (it's important enough to say twice.) As with all babies my little guy spits up and has diaper blow outs, but I don't worry if that happens in this seat because I know it will be easy to clean. The box says "Now Roomier" and they weren't kidding. I feel like this car seat is wide enough for even the chunkiest of babies to be safe and comfortable. I had no problem popping this car seat into my Britax stroller and taking my little guy for walks. I loved this car seat and I want to say thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending it to me to try!

I've been using this seat for the past few weeks. My newborn is 2 months old and weighs 10 lbs so I had to rethread the harness to the second one from the bottom because the lowest was too low for her shoulders, which was easy to do. There are 4 harness slots and 2 crotch positions for the belt.
My favorite feature is how the base only took about 5 minutes to install into my car using the latch system. There are levels on both sides of the base to make sure it's installed correctly. The seat clicks into the base very easily. I like how the car seat looks, it has black neoprene type material for the fabric and it looks very modern. However I do live in TX, so I'm unsure how this fabric will do in the summer heat. The seat is about 1.5 lbs heavier than my previous infant car seat, but since this has a steel frame I don't mind the extra weight.

When my husband drives my car, he has to recline more and so the car seat touches the back of the driver's seat and we couldn't easily lift the car seat up without first moving the driver's seat forward. I have to push the button in the back of the car seat, and lift the car seat up perfectly straight to remove. My previous car seat, I could click on the button in the back and it unlocks and I could easily take car seat out, it didn't have to be lifted up first. So I need more space between this car seat and the driver's seat to be able to reach the back button to be able to detach from the base.
It has a large canopy which gives good coverage from the sun, but it is very close to the handle. So if you put the handle back and then move it upright to carry, the canopy always catches onto the handle. It is annoying because you have to stop and adjust the shade and move it under the handle each time.

This carseat easily clicked into my old Britax B-Agile stroller (from 2013). My baby girl was comfortable in it for her very first walk outside. Overall, I would definitely recommend this seat! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant seat to test out.

Pros-
easy to install base
looks modern
fabric feels easy to remove & clean
steel frame
large canopy

Cons-
have to re-thread harness
heavy to carry
hard to take carseat out of car if driver's seat or passenger seat is reclined
canopy catches onto handle

This car seat checks all the boxes. Incredibly safe, easily adjustable, washable cover, and comfy.

We have the Britax b safe elite from our first LO and this one has some great updates. The machine washable cover is great! And, it's shed some weight.

Britax has my favorite base for ease of installing and getting the seat latched, plus the use without a base is a breeze!

Works great with our Britax stroller for ease on the go.

Overall a great seat with perfect updates. I received this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Right out of the box you can tell this is a well thought out infant seat. It has a lot of great safety features and is very easy to use. The steel frame of the seat gives it a bit of weight but I consider it well within reason for an infant seat, and worth it for safety! Installation of the base is a breeze, as the latch clips simply push on to attach and the straps located in the center of the base make it simple to get the base evenly tight. The impact absorbing feature on the base is a wonderful safety addition as well. It is reassuring to know the different parts of this seat are so well thought out, since they are protecting such precious cargo. While safety is always my priority when car seat shopping, one of my favorite features of this seat is that the cover is machine wash and dry safe! With the inevitable spit up and blowouts that happen, this is such a major benefit and will come in very handy! The fabric is extremely soft on baby's skin as well. As far as getting baby in and out of the seat, to loosen the straps you have to stick your finger into a slot at the foot of the seat. I wasn't in love with that design at first (versus having a button of some sort there), but after using it for a while I didn't mind it at all. The chest clip easily glides up and down on the straps for adjustments to get the perfect fit, and remains securely in place once positioned. One other thing to note about this Gen 2 seat is that it is wider in the seat/shoulder area for baby than the prior model. I still felt like baby was very secure and well protected with the added space, and it may provide more comfort as he grows in the coming months. Lastly, the seat easily clicks into my Britax stroller, so we are swiftly on our way into the store during cold weather. Overall I love the safety features of this seat, and it has some wonderful convenience features that make it even better! I would definitely recommend this seat to anybody looking for an infant seat. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this seat to test and review!

I recently received this Britax B-Safe Gen2 infant car seat from Stellar Product Testing Panel. My baby girl is 3 months old and has been using it everyday since it arrived! We love the side impact protection it gives, especially when we drive on the highway. It's easy to unhook from its base and to connect with our Britax stroller. The comfortable straps and cushions make our trips smooth and she falls asleep in peace. It was a bit of a struggle to install, but once in place I felt my baby was going to be taken care and protected wherever I drive. My favorite features are the adjustable straps and wide sunshade for complete protection, growth, and comfort. My baby's safety is the most important thing to me while we are driving and I am glad I am able to test out this new car seat from Britax.

I received this infant seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I couldn't be happier. My baby is 20lbs at 4 months and he has plenty of room to grow and doesn't look squished. The base was the easiest install I have ever done and this is my 3rd baby. The seat is very sleek and minimalist but packs in all the safety features. It also works right along with my britax stroller from 2015. Perfect addition for us!

I received this car seat through the stellar testing panel in exchange for my review. This is my second Britax infant seat, I purchase my first (Britax BSafe 35 travel system) in 2017 for my first born. I have a new 2020 baby who is utilizing this seat. I love the design of the seat, it's slim which is nice for vehicles with small backseats and multiple carseats. I also love the fabric that is used on the new seat, it is much nicer than the original. It's soft and I appreciate that it doesn't have any funky patterns to it. This seat works great with my Britax stroller, pops right in and out like the original. The installation was very simple and quick. There are only two cons I have with this seat. First, it's heavy. You'll find that infant seats in general are heavy but both of my Britax seats are heavier than others. I don't necessarily mind this as safety is my top priority (and hello, let's build up those arm muscles) but it does take a little oomph to carry around. Also, the visor on the infant seat is a bit too close to the arm so when it's being carried it can be hard to move the visor up and down because it hits my arm/hand. It's simple to just adjust the visor before I pick the carrier up so I don't find this to be a huge issue. This seat gets an A+ from me. I definitely recommend it to new mamas.

We are big fans of Britax car seats in our house. The ease of install and top notch safety features are what landed us on the brand. I was excited to add the Britax B-Safe Gen2 to our line up when Stellar Product Testing Panel sent it my way to review. I have used the older model of this seat with my previous children. The Gen2 has all the safety features I appreciate (like a steel frame), easily snaps into my strollers with an adapter, and has an updated lining that's soft and sleek, and easy to wash! That was a big & necessary upgrade (because well, babies make messes!) The base installs easily but is very secure. It is a heavy seat, but that's due to the steel frame so, it's a slight inconvenience I'll take for safety. I feel 100% confident driving my infant around when she's in this Britax seat. It's the one I recommend time and time again, and will continue to!

The Britax B-Safe Gen2 Infant Car Seat is so easy to install, it only takes a few minutes to setup it and you're ready to go. The car seat itself clicks in without effort and has a quick release latch on the back. I originally tried out a Britax car seat because all of the research I did prior showed me how well-made, sturdy, and reliable they are, and this could not be more true in regards to the B-Safe Gen2. It is advertised as "roomier, softer, better" and that it is it. Based on appearance alone it's more sleek, thinner, and more cushy. Having used Britax before I can truly attest that this version is an upgrade. It's all black exterior look and cushy seat give it a very lux look. In every way they've taken this car seat up a level, the inner lining and cushion includes lumbar support for baby that the original doesn't, the cushions are washable, the sun shade is sturdier, even the release latch has been updated. When it comes to a car seat, safety of course is my first priority and the sturdiness of this car seat leaves me feeling very confident that it will do as it is supposed to. So if I were to say my favorite things about the car seat aside from the safety I would have to say it's comfort. We do a lot of long and lengthy traveling in our car so the extra comfort for my son is a huge bonus, it keeps him happier for longer periods of time, which on a long trip makes a huge difference for me. I do also love that it can attach to the Britax stroller. I have the Britax stroller that I bought with the original car seat and knowing that I could automatically attach this new car seat to it was such a relief. Not having to worry about purchasing new attachments or a new stroller altogether is definitely a pro on my list. The only aspects a person may not love about the car seat are that it is on the heavier side when carrying it and the sun shade is fixed to the back so it can't be moved to cover baby's face in any direction, however, these are not make or break things for me. Overall I love this car seat and would absolutely recommend. A huge thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant seat.

I struggled a little with installing the base of this car seat but eventually I did feel confident it was properly secured. Adjusting the strap height was simple - the instruction manual is very easy to understand.

Once I put my newborn in this seat I was so impressed with her positioning. My baby's back was flat against the back of the seat and I realized she had been slouching in our other car seat. Because she sits flat against the back, I feel like I'm able to get the straps tighter and she seems more comfortable. She doesn't even cry when I buckle her in this seat so that's basically a raving review from a newborn.

My favorite feature of this car seat is the removable cover. We are a family with sensitive skin so even when I use a mild cleaner, I still like making sure I can rinse all the soap away. Being able to remove the cover makes me feel so much more comfortable cleaning this car seat.

I do also have an older Britax stroller (B-Agile) that I purchased as part of a travel system. The car seat snapped into place easily.

I received this infant seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I love this car seat! The Britax B-Safe Gen 2 Infant car seat just feels safe - you literally can feel how sturdy and well made it is just by holding it. I love that it has a steel re-inforced base and the crumple zones throughout - it is made to keep your baby safe. It is extremely easy to install the base and the harness is simple to use, which helps to eliminate user error. The fabric is also a breeze to wipe down and keep clean! My favorite feature of this car seat is how easy it is to click in and out of its base. Baby is sleeping? Simply press the button and lift the carrier out and click it into your stroller! This car seat definitely works best if you have a Britax stroller - its like icing on the cake. With or without the stroller, though, this is an amazing car seat because its safety features are amazing. Having the stroller just increases the convenience factor! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat!

I am a big supporter of the Britax brand, so when I was given this infant seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was super excited. The seat is roomier than the older version, but I wouldn't say it's softer or better as advertised on the packaging. The material/cover is washable though, so that's a huge plus for me. Baby girl is about 12 weeks old and 12 lbs now and she seems to be comfortable in it. I was a little disappointed with the restraint release button. It's hidden underneath the fabric and is similar to the release on a really, really cheap car seat we use just for flying/traveling. It's not the easiest to find and just feels cheap to me and not what I expect from Britax. I am also disappointed with the way this car seat clips out of the Britax adapters on my stroller. Both sides stick, one much more than the other, to the point I almost had to go back into a store to ask for help. I feel like in an emergency that could be a problem. I'm not sure if this is something that would get easier with more use or not. It does clip in and out of the base in the car just fine though. Overall, it's a decent seat but I much prefer the older version, and will be strictly using this one as a back up.

The britax gen2 infant seat is definitely a great one! We love that it's not too heavy and it's safety features. It was super easy to install into the car too. Most of all, it keeps our most precious cargo safe as can be, we never worry for a minute about safety. We also have the britax stroller that easily clicks and connects to the infant seat, making it so very nice and convenient to use with a new itty bitty baby! I received this as a part of the stellar product testing panel !

I was given this infant seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I currently have a two month old and prior to getting this seat to test, we were using the same infant seat we used for our older daughter which was a Britax B-safe 35 Elite. Overall, I will say that I like this seat. I am a huge fan of Britax products and have used Britax car seats for all of my kids. Here are some things I noticed compared to the other Britax seat we had been using. Cons: The B-safe gen 2 does not have as much padding as the 35 elite. This isn't a huge deal but may be a factor for people who have a tendency to take long trips where baby is in the seat often. It also doesn't have the easy rethreader which allows for growth changes with the click of a button. Instead in order to adjust for height, the straps have to be manually rethreaded through the back of the seat. I will say that this is probably the biggest feature change that I miss from the 35 elite to the gen 2. Another thing I noticed is that Britax says that the gen 2 has a one-handed release system but I find that more often than not, I still have to use two hands in order to release the straps to remove my daughter. As for pros for the gen 2, the seat is more spacious and a lot easier to put baby into than the 35 elite is. I appreciate this a lot as I would always have to loosen the straps and retighten every single time with the 35 elite and I do not have to do this with the gen 2. The install was also incredibly easy using the latch system. I also like that the max weight/height match the 35 elite as my daughter was 9lbs at birth. We are also a tall family so the improved limits for the seat from the first b-safe are a huge plus. We also have a Britax stroller and while we have not yet utilized it with this seat, I would say it is just as easy to use with the stroller as the 35 elite is. Overall, I think this is a really great seat with minimal cons. It is more budget-friendly for those who may not have the extra funds to spend on the higher end seats Britax has to offer while still maintaining the Britax quality I have grown to love. If I were to buy another seat from Britax, I would probably buy another one with the added extras; however, I do plan to use this seat as our main seat for our two-month-old from this point forward.

I really enjoy the Britax B-Safe Gen2 car seat! As a parent of a toddler and a 3 month old, I have used both infant only seats and convertible seats in the past, and definitely prefer a rear facing only seat for the infant stage. I absolutely love the safety features that went into this seat, especially the steel frame base intended to absorb impact. Installation was a bit difficult for me given my height (5'2) and the height of my car (crossover). My husband was able to do it without any issue; it took him about 90 seconds. There is plenty of room to move front seats back without touching the car seat. The material feels soft and baby looks very comfortable when she's in the car seat. The canopy is large and covers baby well. I LOVE that you can remove the cover to wash and dry. Our car seats covers in the past have been line dry only, which makes cleaning them difficult. I followed the instructions on washing and drying this cover before first use, and it was easy to remove and put back on. Overall, this car seat is convenient, easy to install, and safe. Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this car seat to review!

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant seat. We love it! It has soft padding, so baby seems safe and comfortable. It is SO easy to adjust when baby grows taller. It was really easy to install the base in our car with the clips and you can also use it without the base, just a seatbelt, if you are traveling or in a car that's not your own! We have a Britax stroller as well, and it is SOOOO EASY to clip in and out of the stroller on the go! I can get the car seat attached to the stroller with 1 hand.

I am in love with our new Britax B-Safe Gen2 Infant Car Seat! We have used this brand in the past but the updates to this seat are awesome. The plush neoprene type lining is super comfortable for baby. The way the seat is designed, she is so easily and comfortably positioned in the seat, she's not sinking back into it. The functionality is really easy which I so appreciate when I am juggling 100 things and want to get settled quickly. The straps easily pull out to position baby and the side hooks allow you to rest the straps while you position her. We often use our sunshade as we live in CA and it is sunny - it provides the perfect shade. My husband installed it and it was a breeze. I received this product as of the Stellar Product Testing Panel but would suggest it to any new parents.

I was given this infant seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When I first received the Britax B-Safe Gen 2 infant car seat I was super excited to try it out with my 2 month old daughter. I had previously had a Britax B-Safe car seat that I used with my younger children.
The first thing I noticed was how soft and comfortable the padding on the seat was. My older car seat did not have this so I was pleasantly surprised. It's also super wipeable. I can easily clean up any spit up with a regular baby wipe.
The safety features on this seat are top notch, the only reason we've always used Britax products. There is a layer of side impact protection and it has a steel frame and energy-absorbing base. It's also incredibly lightweight in my opinion. The infant head padding is an amazing feature that cushions and supports. My baby always seems comfortable in this seat.

We installed this seat using the base and it was very quick and easy to use the LATCH system. There are center straps to pull tight. When the seat is installed on the base you can hear an audible click. It's helpful to see the positional indicator on the side as well.

We have the Britax B-Agile single stroller and I was able to seamlessly use this car seat with our stroller without having to purchase any additional attachments. It was so convenient to be able to click and go! It makes for a great travel system.

The only thing I don't love about this seat is the top adjustable shade. Although it covers the baby while in the car seat a good amount, the height of it makes
It difficult to adjust the handle. It gets stuck at the top and I have to maneuver the shade up or down. A minor inconvenience that does not make or break my opinion on this car seat.

This is an amazing car seat. I feel my daughter is safe, secure, and comfortable.
