Britax Husky Car Seat

Date Published: 4/14/08

The Britax Husky Car Seat looks luxurious. More important, however, are the features that went into the making of this top-of-the-line car seat.

The Britax Husky may cost more than some others in its class, but it offers a patented system designed to reduce head movement during impact. This same system, we find, also makes it difficult for a parent to incorrectly position the car seat's chest clip. The car seat also has a tether that anchors the top of the child seat to the vehicle. And, because this car seat can be used forward facing for children ranging from 22 to 80 pounds, it's easier to view it as an investment rather than just another expense.

The Britax Husky also features a LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system to help keep the seat more secure within a vehicle. The LATCH system can be used for car seat passengers up to 48 pounds.

Like some other car seats, the Husky has a five-point harness with adjustable shoulder heights. Unlike some other car seats, it has four different slots for shoulder harness positions. This way, as a child becomes taller, the car seat harness can still fit properly. We appreciate the harness strap adjuster that makes it a simple task to tighten or loosen the harness. Plus, with its top-to-bottom wraparound cushioning, the Britax Husky car seat gives its passenger a comfortable ride.

Pair this comfort with well-thought-out features and the Britax Husky car seat offers a winning combination.
