Britax Eclipse SI

This seat is awful. Leans back too far (so my child was constantly straining his neck to sit forward) and the clasps just stopped working after 6 months making it totally unsafe too. Total waste of money!

so easy to use the little one loved it id buy another if we had another child thumbs up britax

I have had four of these car seats - two per car. Each has lasted from birth until my children were just under 4. You do need to read and understand the instructions to change the harness settings but once I had done it twice I found it really easy to do. Washing the covers has been simple enough and I have had no problems putting them back on. I went on to sell all four of the car seats (having never been in an accident) in very good condition. Take care of them - they are worth every penny!

This car seat is the bane of my life : awkward and difficult. After several months of trying to sqeeze my baby into it and miserably failing to adjust the straps I have thrown it out. It is the worst and most shoddy item that I have bought in my whole life. Do NOT buy it.

We bought the Britax Eclipse for our grandaughter. It is very comfortable for her and easy to adjust. However the base unit is badly designed and cuts into the leather upholstery of our car seat - we have had to put padding underneath to protect the seat. Also when she is not in the seat, it rattles dreadfully and we have had to put a strap around the whole thing to cut down the very annoying noise. So very mixed feelings about this car seat, but would not have bought it had we known how badly designed the base unit was.

I will always have Britax car seats. Easy to install and clean.

don't make the mistake I made by taking all the straps off to clean; it's not necessary and can be tricky to put back together.

I love the Britax Eclipse SI car seat. I searched high and low, read various reviews but this one was by far the best.

I moved my daughter into this seat from a rear facing one at 9mths as she has long legs and suffered car sickness. The day I did this marked a considerable change in our car journeys. My daughter loves travelling now. The seat is well padded and has an excellent recline on it. When she's sleeping I can recline the seat with ease from the driver's seat and she looks so comfy. Although we do have to watch her head when getting in and out of the car because of the height of the seat its ideal as she can see out of the window.

I would recommend this seat to any parent.

Well done and thank you BRITAX A****

I have now owned the Britax Eclipse SI for over two years and it has grown with my daughter's needs and size. I first bought the car seat when she reached 1 but it is suitable for younger babies and she is fast approaching four now, with still more scope for her growing with it.

What I like is that it blends into the car, it is easy to use and more importantly very easy to fit, which comes in handy when swapping cars or removing for cleaning.

Due to the size of the chair my daughter is able to look out of the window both front and side, which is great on long car journeys, when spotting sheep.

With the new car laws, I can see me having this for a few more years due to not only the quality but adjustment in size that is available with this car seat, making it excellent value for money.

My only concern is the wear and tear damage on my car seat from the plastic base, but you can't put a price of depreciation of a car seat on your child's life.

I would highly recommend the Britax Eclipse SI car seat to anyone. Although the initial outlay cost may appear expensive at the time of purchase, this was one of the cheaper seats in its class and there is plenty of years use to be had from it.

The Britax Eclipse SI car seat is an excellent buy- looks good as well as been practical and secure- easy to fit and good value for money if you shop around.

Ive find the eclipse si brilliant. i dont drive so i have to take it in and out of friends cars nearly every day then in my partners on a weekend, i was dreading having to do this but its so easy to do and light. my 7 month old daughter loves it and even enjoyed traveling 300miles in it!
