This seat is bigger than my old one but weighs about the same. They all weigh a ton and with a big baby in it, its back breaking no matter how you slice it. Although I don’t think I’ve ever come across an infant carrier that is “easy” to carry. Britax designed the handle to be a little more ergonomic so carting them around is easier. It never fails that the only stream of sun lands on his face while I’m carting my other son back and forth to school so the large canopy is a huge help. One of the things I really love is the oversized canopy. The Infant Carrier is designed for baby’s comfort in mind and I do feel that my son (who is now 4 months old) fits in there snug and comfortable. However, I would imagine this would be the same problem with any rear facing larger car seat. I don’t drive a minivan and I had to move my seat up and ended up being too close to the wheel to drive. This was only problematic for me having him seated behind the driver. Compared to my old infant carrier this seat is considerably “taller” and therefore takes up a bit more space. Because of this the seat is a bit larger than some infant carriers. What’s also nice about this carrier is that it accommodates your baby up to 30 lbs so you can use it and all its safety features longer as well as keep them secure and rear facing longer. It also has No Re-Thread Head Restraint system which I can’t tell you how much easier it is to get the right fit without having to thread straps all over the seat (which is what my biggest complaint about my old Peg Perego). This system protects your baby by distributing crash forces and shielding your child from vehicle intrusion. The Chaperone Infant Carrier features Britax’s True Side Impact Protection system which we’re written about before.

I’ll start with the infant carriers features. After spending a few months with it, we are happy to report many positive things about its performance and think it’s an excellent choice of travel systems on the market right now. We were given the unique opportunity to product test Britax’s new Chaperone Travel System. Last updated on August 19th, 2022 at 11:48 pm
