Halfords customers questions and answers for Britax Britax Freeway Child Car ... The Britax Freeway dimensions are 42 x 49 x 73 cms and it weighs 6.75kg. I haven't tried it myself as couldn't get it. I got a Prince which is too big but still light for travel

Comments from Mumsnetters: Everyone found the Britax Freeway easy to install, "by far the easiest I've come across and with four kids I've come across a fair few", and lightweight, "it can be moved from car to car quickly". The seats are "big and comfortable", the straps "wide" and the child can sit upright or reclined which "is great for sleeping and long journeys", although some found the reclining mechanism "tricky to use". Another plus point is that it can be used with lapbelts as well as three-point seatbelts.

The Britax Freeway has been renamed Britax Prince

I bought a second-hand Britax Freeway to take on holiday to Sri Lanka recently. It was exactly what we needed: lightweight; easily and quickly installed into several different cars and taxis. It can be fitted into the car using a lap belt, which is the only thing the taxis had available. We checked it in at the airports for no extra cost. We did two really long taxi journeys - both 6 hours and my 18 month old son slept comfortably in this seat. I thoroughly recommend this seat for a 'take on holiday' car seat.

Good value no nonsence car seat which does exactly what it says on the tin!

easy to fit, move about and recline. But I've had it almost 2 years now and need a new car seat. Where I've washed the cover it has shrunk and no longer stays on properly, despite washing cool, and the polystyrene is coming away so it isn't lasting well.

Very easy to fit, easy to fasten, looks good and very good value for money.

We've recently bought this carseat and I'm amazed at how easy it is ti fit. We use the lap belt for this carseat and it's so much easier that our old one to fit. It used to take me about 20 mintues to fit the old one securley and this one was fitted in about 5 minutes and it much much much more secure.
It looks great too, a real good value for money carseat.

bought it as second car seat for grandparents. Terrible fit, despite taking all cars to mothercare before purchase. When I fitted it the seat belt just pulled through the grip leaving the seat rather loose and not a safe fit. Had to return it as only place it was safe was on the centre lap belt in rear of car, making its use restrictive. Will be investing in a more expensive one as would rather be sfe than sorry.

Very easy to fit in to any car, comes in a range of colours, Very cheep compared to most seets. Looks comfortable and not to bulky. A very good car seat.

Do not buy it!Unless the harness is pulled rally tight, and i mean REALLY tight my daughter can get her arms out of it and its pretty scary to suddenly turn around when driving on the mottorway to see her half out of it!also has a reclining position whuch is hard to operate if driving, or from passenger seat, and it appears to be in too much of a decline anyway!As for carrying this seat on the train to use later-forget it.too heavy and cumbersome.

great value for money, fantastic quality, can sit upright or recline, fits easily in small car.

For the money this is a brilliant carseat. it is strong and sturdy (as it should be) but easy to get in and out of the car in needs be.
We use it in the lap beat seat and it is absolutley perfect.

This is a great seat to have for holidays, it fits into a airplane seat (recline the airline seat to remove car seat), it's light to transport and is easily fitted into any car (taxi's to/from the airport). A tray is available to use with the seat which is needed for air travel

It does everything you need a carseat to do, but doesn't have any particular features that make it miles better than the others

fairly easy to use ..looks quite good .easy to clean and good cvalue

Very good value basic seat.

nicelookin, easy to install, good reclining mechanism, roomy.
