Not got one, but i know they are in reduced in mothercare at the moment - or try kiddicare, i got mine (renaissance) £30 cheaper from them. Bargain!

I have one and am really pleased with it. It has excellent ratings in the various magazine surveys.

Thats a relief muffin
It doesn't seem very easy to move between cars though

We've got one and we're very pleased with it, however I agree that's in not very transportable therefore it stays in the car - permanently.

Anyone know if I can fasten it into the middle seatbelt - its a full seatbelt, not a lapstrap

If you visit the britax website, and use fit finder, it tells you where you can put it.
hope this works!

I've got one. They are great, yes you can put it in the middle seat so long as it has a 3 point harness (not a lap belt).

It is a bit awkward putting it in the middle though as I find that the seat itself sits quite high up and so headroom for moving baby/toddler in and out is a bit restricted. I find I quite often just miss bumping DD's noggin on the ceiling of the car just getting her in/out of the outside back passenger seats. Plus the sides are quite high, which is probably great from a safety point of view, but again it makes getting the child in and out a little awkward. I do find the recline mechanism very useful and I still use it now DD is almost 2. DD sleeps soundly in it and it seems to be very supportive and comfortable.

I agree that it's a bit of a struggle to move back and forth from car to car, but once it is fitted I've found the fix to be quite sturdy. You can always take it to Halfords and they'll fit it properly for you, if you're unsure. I found the Britax instructions are pretty idiot-proof and easy to follow. We went for a Britax because we had the Rock a Tot as DD's 1st stage car seat and really rated it.

We got ours from Mothercare.
