EXCELLENT PADDING, EASY TO INSTALL
I bought this carseat for my granddaughter as she was outgoing her infant seat. She seems much happier and very comfortable, so much so that she almost always falls asleep now when I'm driving with her.

worst car seat/ do not buy
Do NOT buy this car seat for your baby. It is impossible to safely buckle a baby in this seat. Between the hard rubber shoulder strap pads that are too long for the babies chest and dig into my child's chin and throat when the straps are tightened and the waist strap crossing my babies legs close to his knee and digging into his leg, there was no way to get my child safely and comfortably strapped into the seat. I tried all of the strap and pad options outlined in the directions (even though there is only one setting recommended for newborns) and on the instructional videos. NONE helped to secure the baby in a safe and comfortable position. I registered for this car seat for my baby shower and was excited about getting a car seat from such a reputable brand, but am now very disappointed and having to buy a car seat from a different company that will provide the safety and comfort that I need for my child.

Comfortable and sturdy carseat
Security and Comfort I was excited to receive the Britax Allegiance Convertible car seat from Weespring Parent Panel to test and review. Most of my friends love Britax and now I know why. Britax knows how to make safe and well-made products. The Allegiance car seat has a steel frame and impact-absorbing base which gives stability and strength in an event of a crash. Even having a steel frame, it is not too heavy and actually easy to carry. It has the SafeCell impact protection and has a deep foam lined shell. The Britax convertible car seat is very stable, strong, and even the V shaped tether helps the car seat stay in place better. This gives me such peace of mind knowing my kids are protected as they're riding in the car. My 7 and 5 year old reassure me that it is extremely comfortable. They really like this car seat. I like that it holds up to 65lbs, which is more than a standard convertible car seat. Another reason I like this car seat is longevity. It holds from 5 lbs to 65 lbs, and can be used rear-facing and forward-facing. The car seat also comes with an extra comfortable removable infant cushion for up to 22 pounds. The strap covers are soft and extra padded. I think the velcro that helps hold buckles and straps out of the way is a unique feature. I don't have to reach around trying to retrieve the straps. I love it. The attention to small details make a difference. I really wish every seat in my car had anchors because I absolutely love the latch system this car seat has. I do have anchors on a couple seats in the car. It makes installation so easy because the latch connectors just click to lock in place and can release with a push of a button. The built-in latch storage on the back of the Britax Allegiance car seat is useful and great for traveling purposes. It has helped prevent belt latches from swinging around. The car seat is beautiful as well. I have the city dots style. I am very thankful that the car seat cover is removable, but I really wish it was machine washable. My main love of this car seat is the 10 point harness with adjustable headrest. It took a couple seconds to switch out the height for each of my kids to ride in. I was able to take my daughter's friend home safely using this car seat. I now have the perfect car seat to accommodate for my growing child and it will save me money in the long run. It will last a long time.

Awesome!
I was given this convertible car seat to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. Pros: So comfy! Easy to install. Easy to use. Total longevity! Cons: needs the click to tight feature. Needs the self leveling ball feature. Needs a cup holder.

Plush Fabric, Comfortably Deep Seat - best for forward-facing
Before getting the Britax Allegiance convertible car seat, we had the Clek Foonf (also convertible) for our 4-year-old, and a Britax B-Safe infant car seat for our 19-month old. Our youngest is small and needs to remain rear-facing for a bit longer due to low muscle tone...but he needs a larger seat now. So we tested the convertible Britax Allegiance with him in mind. We love convertible car seats that serve infants through kids.The Allegiance is not an all-in-one (it does not convert into a booster seat like the Clek) but it does work both rear- and forward-facing with 10 harness positions that should serve a baby/child through age 6 or so. Saves money! First impression of the Britax Allegiance design was positive. We received the black/gray City Dots design. The fabric is plush and soft, and seems super comfortable. Since we tried it out during a very cool month here in Northern California, not sure how the black fabric will handle the high summer temps here. But the seat cover is removable for cleaning - major pro! (our Clek seat cover is not removable). The harness is delightfully smooth - we tested this seat for a couple weeks before writing this review, and I can honestly say we had zero issues with the strap twisting (see attached pic). The harness also has 10 adjustable positions for your growing kiddo. Other positive design features include the seat depth, which offers nice side "wings" as a head rest for sleeping kids...at least in the forward-facing position. I'm guessing the deep shell also offers extra safety from side collisions. Installation was a cinch--my husband had no issues. Only issue we had with the Allegiance once installed -- and why I selected 4 rather than 5 stars -- is that in the rear-facing position, it does not recline enough (see attached pic). Our son was sitting too upright. We make at least two very long road trips from NorCal to AZ each year and we need our littles to sleep comfortable without head drooping! This con may be related to the design of the back bench in our Subaru Forester (2015), which slants quite a bit. We did not see any solution to compensate for this, either visually or per the Britax Allegiance installation manual. In the forward-facing position, this is obviously not an issue. Something else to consider for those with a Subaru Forester...if you need to fit three car seats across the back bench, this would be difficult with the Britax Allegiance, as it's a bit wide at 19" side to side (per my measurements). So, the width is a nice comfort feature, but a bit problematic if you need to accommodate three kiddos on one Forester bench, which we will need to do come Fall 2018. Overall, this is a well-made, comfortable car seat that I would recommend for most vehicles. Hard to go wrong with the reliability of a Britax car seat. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for selecting my family to test this car seat for free in exchange for an honest review!

Nice Attention to Detail
Very well made and durable feeling. I really liked the thoughtful details like the flap that covered the clasp where you click in the straps, they prevent you from pinching your baby. The way the straps held to the sides while putting baby in and out was a great idea and the fabric quality felt great though I wish it were machine washable. I liked the height extender for the head as well. The flexible strap guides felt like they'd keep straps in place and not twist. The biggest con was its lack of cup holders or armrests or any where my toddler could put his toys when he sat in the seat. For that reason, we chose to not install the seat and kept his previous convertible seat. This Britax would be great for a newborn up to the larger toddler who may need a front facing view. I received the product from the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Cushy+ Comfortable
I am a pretty religious user of Britax carseats and this one did not disappoint. We upgraded my 2.5 year old from an older model to this one. It was very easy to install rear-facing with the latch system and tether, in the middle row of my minivan. I have since moved him to forward facing (in the third-row), installed using the shoulder belt and tether. The seat is very easy to install using the shoulder belt with the lock off clips, and the instructions are easy to follow. TI love that I can raise and lower the straps without having to re-thred the straps. The seat padding and shoulder/chest pads are cushy with a nice neoprene feel. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product!
