Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Description/Specs/Features:

The Baby Trend Flex-Loc Infant Car Seat is designed as a rear-facing car seat for infants.  It is compatible with some of the Baby Trend baby strollers (sold separately or as a travel system).   Baby Trend has two versions of the car seat, one designed for a baby from 5 – 22 lbs. and 28.5” maximum, and another version for a baby from 5-22 lbs and 30” maximum.

• [22 lb. version] Child weight/height: 5 – 22 lbs., and up to 28.5 inches
• [30 lb. version] Child weight/height: 5 – 30 lbs., and up to 30 inches
• Car seat weight:  ~9.5 lbs. (carrier);  6 lbs. (base)
• 5-point safety harness
• One-hand harness adjustment with push-button release
• Height-adjustable seat back; no harness rethreading
• 4-position push-button height adjustable base
• Level indicator for proper installation
• One-hand easy-access seat release
• EPS energy-absorbing foam for side impact head protection
• Canopy
• Carrying handle with rubber coated triangle shaped grip
• Soft head support
• Boot to provide extra warmth and comfort
• Flex-Loc refers to the base’s flexible (not rigid) latch straps
• Push on connector snaps onto the vehicle LATCH anchor
• Car Seat Dimensions: 16.5″W x 26″L x 25″

Pros:

• Compatibility with Baby Trend strollers (sold separately) is a very nice feature to have when you’re out and about with your infant.
• Carry handle triangle shape allows options to carry baby at different angles.
• Variety of styles and fabric patterns, and overall nice feature set.

Cons:

• Release is on the front of the car seat, and since it is rear facing, can be difficult to access depending on your seat type.
• Some users have difficulty with carry handle release buttons.
• The carrier is a bit heavy.  It takes quite a bit of strength to lift the infant carrier with baby once your baby begins to reach 20 lbs., so you may lose the carrier feature early with the 30 lb. version of the seat.
• No shoulder pads are included.

Description / Specs / Features:

The Britax Chaperone Infant Car Seat is a rear-facing only car seat that includes a car seat carrier and a base.  The car seat is designed for an infant from 4 to 30 lbs., and 32” or less in height.  It is stroller compatible with Britax Chaperone strollers and other major stroller brands when use with the Britax adapter strap.

• Infant weight /size: 4 -30 lbs. and 32” or less
• Carrier weight: 10 lbs.
• Side impact protection with EPS Foam liner
• 5-point harness
• Up-front harness adjuster
• No re-t hread head restraint and harness height adjustment
• Level indicators and height adjustment knob on base to assist with installation with proper angle of recline
• Push-button lower LATCH connectors (LATCH anchors are on most vehicles after Sept. 2002)
• Built-in lock-offs for seat belt installation
• Ergonomic carry handle
• Large canopy
• High density foam padding for cushioning
• cover set with matching belly pad
• Seated shoulder height: 6.5 – 11”
• Dimensions: 24.9”W x 17.8”W  x 31”D

Pros:

• The no re-thread head restraint and harness shoulder height adjustment is a very nice feature to have in an infant car seat.
• It is “click” lock compatible with the Britax Chaperone stroller (also strap-in compatible with some other strollers).
• Comfortable for baby.

Cons:

• The infant carrier is fairly heavy at 10 lbs., and for most becomes very difficult to lift via handle by the time your child is ~20 lbs, so you may lose use of the carrier feature at that time (this is rated to 30 lbs.).  This is not so much a con, as a note of consideration.
• Fairly large, some users have problems fitting this in their cars due to the depth.  Again, this not so much a con, as a consideration in purchase.

• .Very sturdy.
• Comfortable for baby.

Cons:

• Many users say that their babies grew out of this car seat a bit earlier than expected, while noting their child was under the specified limits due to the limits of the harness strap length at max adjustment.
• The infant carrier is 9.8 lbs., and for most becomes very difficult to lift via handle by the time your child is ~20 lbs, so you may lose use of the carrier feature at that time (this is rated to 30 lbs.).  This is not so much a con, as a note of consideration.
