Regent car seat manual

When they have had to sit in other carseats on RARE occasions they hate them! Great seat if you have a toddler that is big for their age but not yet ready to be in a booster seat. We did not want our son in a booster for safety reasons after he outgrew his 5 point harness at only 2. The seat seems very comfy for him. I do wish there was a cup holder since when he is in this seat it doesn't seem like he has enough room between his legs nad the harness to sit his cup. The straps tangle easy for us and I thought with a seat that cost this much they would tangle at all.

Seat is VERY hard for me to install. I can barely get my hands through the back to thread the seatbelt through. Fabric is very nice and easy to wipe off if something is spilled on it. Love this car seat for my son. He is pretty tall for his age and not light. WIth this seat he has plenty of room to grow and will be safer for a lot longer.

I do wish they had more fabric options or covers you could buy for this size of seat. I am an active grandmother in my grandson's life. It was a hastle to keep switching the car seat from my daughter's car to my minivan. I decided to watch for sales on a good car seat once he outgrew his infant seat.

I am a discount store shopper, and a price comparison shopper, but the safety of my precious grandson was much more important to me. I was fortunate enough to find this car seat at an extremely reasonable price. I am also a clean freak and want my grandson to be in the cleanest environment as possible. I love the fact that this five harness car seat is not only safe, but easy to clean and keep clean. It fits perfectly in the back bucket seat. The height is great for him and his size allowing him to look out the window.

The detachable cup holder was a great added feature since my grandson likes to travel with his sippy cup. I also appreciate the adjustible shoulder straps. He is a bit taller than most children his age so this seat will grow with him. It is a good quality product at a very reasonable price which I would highly recommend to anyone. I initiallly looked at the Regent because my daugher is tall and thin, so she outgrew the shoulder height on every carseat without weighing enough to move to a booster at 40 lbs, I think the ones that say 30 lbs aren't safe.

As I researched more, I became a believer that a booster is not the best option even after 40 lbs. My daughter is now 6 and still hasn't hit 40 lbs, but is comfortable in her Regent and will be for a long time to come.

She still has several shoulder height positions to grow into. The seat is heavy, but to me that adds to the feeling of safety - it is built like a tank! I am confident that it is the safest option for her, and while the price was painful, you can't put a price tag on your child's safety.

The fabric is easy to wipe clean and she says the seat is comfortable. I am about to purchase a second Regent for my 2 year old and have already used my niece's Regent to verify that two of these will fit on the middle row bench seat. My seat was involved in the safety upgrade - we received notice from Britax that they developed an even safer way of installing the seat.

It wasn't exactly a recall, because the current method already exceeded standards, they just made it even better. We received a new LATCH strap, anti-slip strips, and instructions and were able to make the conversion without too much hassle. Do not take apart the harness. Never remove the buckle tongues from the harness.

They cannot be reattached after removal. If reassembled incorrectly, the child seat may not perform as intended. Loosen the harness by lifting the harness adjuster lever while pulling the shoulder straps forward as far as possible. Page 20 Care and Maintenance Buckle Removal Locate the metal buckle strap retainer on the bottom of the child seat.

Pull retainer away from child seat to loosen. Turn the retainer so that the short side will go through the slot in the child seat shell Fig. Push the retainer through slots in the shell and cover, to the front of the child seat. Their use could cause this child seat to fail Federal Safety Standards or not perform as intended in a crash.

Their use automatically voids the Britax warranty. Print page 1 Print document 22 pages. Rename the bookmark. Delete bookmark? Cancel Delete. Delete from my manuals? Sign In OR.

Need Regent Info! Thread starter Jacks Start date Oct 9, Jacks New member. I am considering buying a Regent for my 3. Can someone please give me the seat depth measurements and seat and shoulder width measurements. Britax does not have this info on their website. Also, can someone please sumarize the 2 failed crash tests of the Regent. For some reason I can't download the crash test results in a PDF file. I really appreciate it!

MomToEliEm Moderator. Click to expand Just found Regent measurements Can anyone tell me what the "new instructions" are for using the Regent as stated in the post above? Britax did an advisory notice on the regent this past June. All seats made after that time must follow the new instructions. The older seats should follow the new instructions, but don't have to. Britax also modified the latch strap on the newer seats.

The new instructions: Children under 40 pounds must have the seat installed using the long belt path with either latch or seatbelt install while using the recline bar. Children 40 pounds and over must use the short belt path with the seatbelt or latch latch only up to 48 pounds or less depending on the car model while using the recline bar.

The old instructions allowed either the long belt path or short belt path for any installation regardless of weight. The recline bar also wasn't required for all installation methods it was required with some but not all. Some people are having trouble installing the seat using the new instructions as the seat just isn't fitting well in all cars.
