Reid looks comfortable and content, and there’s absolutely no car seat-sandwich appearance that some babies take on when they’re jammed into infant seats.

I love the roomy interior and the large overhead canopy. This feature alone was enough to have my husband singing it’s praises, as he suffers from CSIP (car seat installation phobia). The Chaperone also has a tangle-free, 5-point harness system that features No Re-thread Harness Adjustment essentially you can adjust the harness height without having to re-thread the straps to accommodate your child’s growth. It features True Side Impact Protection which distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, contains the head and body, and keeps the head, neck and spine “in true” or aligned, to limit injury. The seat can accommodate children between 4 and 30 pounds, and up to 32 inches – which is actually a very impressive range for a starter seat. Since the arrival of baby Reid, we’ve been using it for just over two months now. Let’s start with the Chaperone infant car seat. We selected the beyond adorable Cowmooflage pattern the perfect unisex design for sweet peas.

So it comes as no surprise that I (literally) jumped at the opportunity to review the Britax Chaperone Travel System, which includes the infant car seat and stroller. Yes, you’ve seen a Britax sale or two featured on this blog. I became obsessed with communicating sales and special offers to my mommy readers, hoping to get them on board with this awesome brand which is synonymous with safety. It’s now almost two years later and we LOVE the car seat – and more importantly – so does Ryder. The Marathon just happened to be the #1 car seat in Canada, and with glowing endorsements from just about every store we visited, it wasn’t a hard decision to make. I first heard of Britax when I was shopping for a convertible car seat.
