Britax has been a trusted and highly-touted manufacturer of baby safety products for years, and it's not only because they sell high quality products but also peace of mind. This brand adulation is not mere wheedling. The Britax Regent Onyx car seat is an amazingly versatile child restraint system. The LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) easily attach to vehicles with LATCH connection points, and the Versa-Tether is an additional anchor aid that utilizes the factory installed automobile car seat upper anchor points to minimize the possibility of head injury. Their HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system is designed to distribute better the webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize edge loading on the child's neck in the case of impact. Made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extra thick comfort foam, it exceeds U.S. safety standards and affords plush padding. The tangle-free five-point harness is designed to fit snugly over the shoulders, collarbone, and hips, and the four shoulder slots allow a better fit as your child grows. Added bonuses are the two mesh pouches and cup holders. The removable fabric cover is machine washable, and the manufacturer recommended age is from 12 months and 22 pounds up to 80 pounds. --Scott Teal

HUGS for Optimum Safety and Support
When it comes to safety, the Regent boasts an innovative protective design and loads of extras that give parents peace of mind on car trips. First, the patented floating HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system exceeds U.S. safety standards by reducing forward head movement as it gently cushions the neck and chest with soft padding--a feature that's particularly important both in the case of an accident and during nap time. Made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extra thick comfort foam, this system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of an impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip.

Versa-Tether for Additional Security
The Regent also offers Britax's patented Versa-Tether, an anchor aid that provides additional security in the forward facing position for children weighing more than 50 pounds. The Versa-Tether fastens the top of the car seat to factory installed automobile anchor points, reducing the possibility of a head injury in the event of impact.

Comfort Features for an Enjoyable Ride
Riding in the car should be fun and enjoyable for your child, and the Regent offers comfort features that help make even long trips a pleasure. First, two mesh pouches and cup holders keep snacks, drinks and toys close at hand. Secondly, the cushioning and plush padding are made to be incredibly supportive, so your child can play, sleep or simply look out the window without strain or discomfort.

Weighing 25 pounds and measuring 21.5 x 30 x 25 inches (WxHxD), the Regent features a versatile, user-friendly design that will truly grow with your child. The Regent is also available in Huntington and Madison, and comes with a 1-year limited warranty.
