Britax Regent got 2 stars. That's generous. What a PITA that carseat is. If I hadn't spent $200+ on it, it would be on the side of the road. Chat Icon

Hmm, not sure I agree with their findings. They rated the Britax BLVD and the Graco ComfortSport both with 3 stars. I've installed both these seats and the Britax was hands down much easier to install.

The Recaro got the same rating as the Britax.
