"Designed for kids . . . engineered for parents."
Get Britax innovation in an infant car seat with the Britax Chaperone Infant Car Seat. The Chaperone takes the place of the popular Britax Companion infant seat and adds great new features like a no-rethread harness, higher height and weight limits, and great adjustability. The Chaperone fits kids from 4 - 30 lbs and up to 32", and is compatible with the Britax Chaperone stroller.
Standout Features:
- Accommodates infants up to 30 lbs and 32" for longer use
- Anti-rebound bar minimizes rotational forces associated with front and rear collisions
- Easy-to-read level indicator to help achieve the appropriate angle for baby
- Ergonomic carry handle contours to your forearm and body for more comfortable carrying
Benefits for You: The Britax Chaperone comes complete with the stay-in-car-base. Purchase an extra car seat base to keep in a second car for easy transport between vehicles. With the Chaperone stroller, sold separately, you can transfer your little one from car to stroller with ease in their Chaperone infant seat.
Britax designed the Chaperone with an ergonomic handle to make holding the infant carrier easier. Though as baby approaches 30 lbs, carrying the car seat becomes more of an effort no matter how ergonomic the carry handle. At that point, simply leave the car seat locked into the base and know that baby is safest rear-facing.
Installation: The Britax Chaperone has a stay-in-car base that allows you to easily remove the carrier from the car without waking baby.
The Chaperone may be installed either with or without the Britax Chaperone Car Seat Base; however, using the base makes achieving the proper rear-facing angle a whole lot easier. The base includes an integrated belt lock-off for easy belt installation
Install the car seat using either your vehicle's seat belts or the car seat's LATCH connectors. Push-button lower LATCH connectors provide a quick, simple, and tight installation.
A recline adjustment knob on the base helps places the seat at the proper angle while a level indicator on the Chaperone car seat tells you when the car seat is at the correct angle.
Compatibility: Along with being compatible with the Britax Chaperone stroller, the Britax Chaperone infant car seat includes an accessory strap for use with the following strollers:
- Graco Quattro Tour
- Peg Perego Pliko P3
- Chicco Cortina
- Maclaren Techno XLR (when used with the infant carrier adapter frame and strap supplied by Maclaren)
- Baby Trend Snap-N-Go (when used with the adapter strap supplied by Baby Trend)
Benefits for Baby: With a 30 lb/32" limit, baby stays rear-facing through most of their first year.
For baby's comfort, the Chaperone includes an extra large canopy to keep harmful UV rays from baby's sensitive skin.
With safety in mind, Britax delivers an anti-rebound bar to stabilize the seat during front and rear collisions. You also get True Side Impact Protection. The tangle free, 5-point harness with seven harness heights and two crotch positions provides a level of personalization unavailable on other infant car seats. The no-rethread harness means all you need do is slide the harness to the correct position using the handle on the back of the seat.
Safety:
- Engineered & crash tested to meet or exceed US Standard FMVSS 213
- 5 point harness
- True Side Impact Protection
Comparison: If you'd like an infant car seat with similarly high weight and height limits, check out the Graco SnugRide 32. The SnugRide 32 has many of the same convenience features as the Chaperone, including a stay-in-car base and a level indicator for proper installation. The SnugRide 32 does not have an anti-rebound bar.
For an infant car seat that is one of the easiest to install, check out the Chicco Key Fit 30. The Key Fit 30 fits babies up to 30 lbs and 30", features a one-handed LATCH tightening system, and uses removable and washable fabrics for easy clean-up.
