Britax seats in Prius? Any recommendations, Brtiax or otherwise?

I have a honda fit (same size as a prius) and have had a heck of a time finding a seat to fit this, especially with 3 kids! I had the graco comfortsport, it didnt fit well either rear or forward facing, went with the graco myride 65, same issue and its HUGE! tried a cheap cosco from walmart and it fit fairly well forward and not too bad rear facing but it was so flimsy I didnt feel it was going to hold up in case of a crash. Alot of my friends have the britax marathon or advocate so I decided it was time to try one but our finances dont allow a new seat. I found a used (spare seat that was never actually used) for super cheap from a local mom so I bought that and it fits PERFECTLY in our fit. It was a bit hard to get to fit that way so I had to roll up a towel but he will be forward facing pretty soon so not that major of a problem too me, all our seats have to have rolls. I would recommend this seat in a heartbeat, Im not a fan of the colors of any of the britaxs but you can always find a cover on ebay to custom fit! I also love the velcro to hold the straps so Im not digging around under his butt for the straps. I have a 14 month old who is 25 pounds and 33" tall.

Yes it is, when I was planning to buy this, I went to the Britax website.I would try that and ask them directly too

Deluxe seats are definitely worth it. 330 is too small for two people. I also have a 370 which is what u need to seat two comfortably.

The Britax seat will fit the B-Agile without this adapter. I purchased it because I have the Chicco carseat.

Hello, No sad face! Turn that frown upside down :) . We actually have a new model, the Twin Roo Plus and it will certainly adapt to Britax/Bob B-Safe car seats. Please note that the car seat adapters are sold separately for that item. Thanks!

I bought the Happ-e seat for my fiance, she uses it in her Prius and loves it. No problem!

Probably from the Britax website, or you can check here on amazon to see if they have them--but to be safe, go with the Britax website directly.

I have a Britax B Agile and this fits with room to spare! I keep it in the back pouch all year so I'm ready when the mosquitoes start coming out!

No! This is the older model adapter and will not work with newer Britax seats. I called BJ and they sent me the correct adapter.

Our family has owned different Britax cars seats since our first child was born 7 years ago. We love the Britax brand. Our most recent purchase was the pioneer to be used as a seat for a second car. I'm sad to report that this seat is extremely difficult for us to install correctly with a seatbelt. We have great difficulty with this seat. I wish we'd spent the extra money on the frontier, which we have two of for our main family vehicle.

Keep an eye on the Britax website. That's usually where the testimonials are posted. There are none right now for that seat, which is good ;), but may be soon.

I debated for about a month or two on weather to get the radian or a britax and I have a friend who was certified for installing carseats and apparently britax shortened their seats so kiddos outgrow them faster..the the radian has a steal frame..allows you to rear face til 45 pounds and lasts through a booster seat:) diono also just came out with a carseat called the Pacifica that actually allows you to rear face your child til 50 pounds and ya still in the same price range as the radian and britax:)

I haven't installed it yet, but was wondering about the same thing (didn't buy the second seat yet....). In all the pictures Britax has they never put the upper seat in the lower one, which I assumed means this is not something they recommend doing. But in the previous comment, Rachel S Phelps said she did it and does it.... If I manage to get around to testing it in the next few days I'll update you.

I called Britax a few days ago (10/14/11) and the part numbers have changed so Amazon is clearing out the old stock. That's it! There are no new safety features. The only issue to pay attention to is that car seats have expiration dates, 6 years for a Boulevard from the date of construction so the new version may have a few more months in it before the expiration date.

I did not, but would have if my neighbor hadn't given me their infant Chicco carrier to use. The Britax is a fantastic seat!!! I love it! Very safe & secure! I highly recommend this car seat!
