Additionally, the Companion includes readily accessible lock-offs for a tight and secure install--and since they're built in, you won't have to worry about losing parts! There's also a one-hand recline knob adjuster that helps the seat perfectly fit your vehicle. Most importantly, when it comes to safety, the Companion base offers a patented anti-rebound bar that helps reduce movement in the event of an accident, which may decrease the chance of impact-based injury. The Britax Companion Seat Base is compatible with the following Companion infant seat color variations: Onyx, Black/Tan, Unity Blue, Plum/Tan, Aqua/Black.

 Convenient system November 19, 2008
Philter (upstate NY)
The latches were stiff until they broke in a bit, but overall a very safe and reliable system.
LOVE IT! October 18, 2008
Stefanie (Denver, Colorado)
This car seat base is so easy to install! We got this for the grandmother's car, so it would be easy to transport the little one.. There are many options to install, since her car didn't have the hooks behind the seat like ours did, we used the seat belt method and it still works great and is very secure! I would recommend this system to anyone! When our little one gets bigger, we will definitely get the Britax car seat for kiddos over 30 lbs and then the Britax booster!
Very easy to use and extremely well built February 29, 2008

We used this for our first child (along with the Britax infant seat) and was amazed at how easy it was to install and how safe and snug it was for our baby. I have to question the intelligence of anyone who had problems installing this seat because it is not difficult. If you are buying the Britax infant carrier, this extra base is a must-have for your second car. I also compared this seat and base to a different brand that our friends had for their baby, and I was so impressed with the quality of construction and materials that Britax uses. I highly recommend this seat and base to anyone who has an infant.
Base for a great car seat October 3, 2007

I have used the Britax Companion with my first child and will use it again with my second child. Buying extra bases makes it easy to move the carrier from car to car. This car seat has great side protection and the anti-rebound bar is a great feature. Don't know what the previous reviewer had in mind, but it is #2 out of 11 infant car seats on that famous consumer reports web site.
As promised July 3, 2007

We ordered this for our second car. The product arrived promptly, and works just fine with the Companion restraint.
