Coming from a Britax Dualfix, I was not disappointed to have waited afew extra weeks for the release of this new upgrade to one of the most highly rated car seats on the market - the Britax Evolva 123.The two main updates to the older version of this seat is the SL and SICT part mentioned in the title.SL refers to the Soft Latch ISOFIX that it can optionally use. Only seats for younger children (e.g. Group 0, 0+ and 1) can use ISOFIX, as this reaches the maximum weight limit for ISOFIX connectors. This means that Group 2 and 3 seats MUST use the vehicle's own seatbelt to hold the child seat (and often its occupant) in place. But of course, when you undo the seatbelt to let the child out of the seat,there is nothing holding the child seat in place, so it can move around the back of your car when not in use. Soft Latch Isofix (ISOFIT) uses two straps that have clips on the end that connect to the ISOFIX connector on your car, to hold the child seat in place, so that it remains in place if the seatbelt is undone. Note that you MUST use the vehicle's seatbelt as well to hold the child seat (and child if it's older) in place, whether you use the Soft Latch system or not. For children 9kg to 18kg, the seatbelt holds the child seat in place, and the child seat's 5-point harness holds the child in place. For children 18kg to 36kg, the 5-point harness is removed and you only use the vehicle's seatbelt for both the child seat and the child. PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE SOFT LATCH (ISOFIT) WITH ISOFIX. YOU *MUST* USE A SEATBELT TO SECURE ANY CHILD SEAT OF THIS AGE RANGE. ISOFIX CAN ONLY BE USED ON ITS OWN FOR GROUP 0, 0+ AND 1 SEATS. There is another review here giving this seat 1 star because they made this mistake, stating the the seat felt insecure, and clearly didn't read the manual and ignored the stickers on the side of the seat that clearly state you must use a seatbelt too. Read the instructions and do not ignore the stickers on the side of the seat that tell you how to fit the seat. Do not put your child's life at risk by not bothering to read instructions and ignoring warning stickers!SICT refers to Britax's Side Impact Cushion Technology. This is a cylinder that unscrews to protrude from the side of the seat at shoulder height. There is one on each side, but you only use the one nearest to the car's door. In the event of a side impact, it acts as a crumple zone for the seat, absorbing some of the energy and helping to keep the seat away from the impact before the car's door comes in contact with the seat, thus improving the safety of side impacts.The seat is surprisingly light weight for its size, which made fitting it less strenuous. Fitting is pretty straightforward (PLEASE read the instructions!) - in short you place your child in the seat while in the house and adjust the height of the headrest. This also adjusts the height of the shoulder straps, which should be level with or just above the height of the top of your child's shoulders. Outside... you then (if you're going to use them) loosen the two Soft Latch ISOFIX (ISOFIT) straps, put the seat in position, attach the two Soft Latch clips to the ISOFIT connectors on your car, thread the car's seatbelt through a holes in the back of the car seat and fasten the seatbelt, adjust the position of the belt to make it neat and shove a knee onto the seat to press it back hard into the car's seat, pull the seatbelt tight and also the Soft Latch straps tight. Unscrew the SICT thingamy on the side of the chair nearest the door. Done! You can keep it like that until your child weighs 18kg, at which point you have to remove the 5-point harness and use the car's seatbelt to secure both your child and the seat.To secure a child under 18kg, you simply undo the 5-point harness clip, put the child in the seat, fasten the clip, and pull the single strap that comes out at the centre front of the seat. You pull it forward, towards the front of the car, until it gives a loud click (don't pull it upwards - it's too stiff). You then pull the chest pads down as far as they will go over your child, and pull the strap until it clicks one more time. The click indicates you have pulled it tight enough.I haven't used the seat in the 18kg to 36kg configuration, but from what I read in the manual you remove the 5-point harness and use the car's seatbelt to secure both the child seat and the child.Also, underneath the seat, is a wedge shaped support that can fold out to adjust the recline angle of the seat while fitting it. I kept mine in the default position. There is no way to adjust the recline once the seat is fitted to the car.The chest pads are very wide and long - which translates to comfort and safety. They really do make me feel like my child is well secured.The colour (I chose black) is a nice uniform and deep colour. The fabric wipes clean easily, and all the covers are easily removed for washing.Two things I did notice, coming from a Group 1 ISOFIX seat, is that seats that are held in place by a seatbelt do indeed feel much less secure than an ISOFIX seat for younger kids. Of course, this applies to all seats for older children, including this one. So this is normal. It was just something I noticed that didn't feel right and I'm putting it here to help reassure any other new parents that become worried about this. It's OK! Even with Soft Latch ISOFIX and a seatbelt, it is not going to feel as secure as a younger child seat that's solidly locked into the frame of your car via rigid ISOFIX connectors. The second thing is that I found that the child seat seems to not face perfectly forward - it points slightly towards the middle of my car. However, on examining the the seat of my car, it seems that the rear passenger seats in my car do this too! The child seat seems to sit at the same angle as the car's rear seats - so I guess that's normal too.Of course, perhaps one of the more important things to mention is that my 2 year old daughter also loves the seat. We had it squeezed between the two arms of one of my comfy chairs in the front room for a day until I had time to fit it to the car. She sat in it, of her own accord, in the front room for 2 hours! She only got out of it because she wanted some dinner. During dinner she kept asking "Can I sit in my new car seat after dinner?", and then sat in it for a further 2 hours before bedtime. She loves it! We've also been on a 5 hour journey with it with no complaints. She's mentioned "I love my new car seat!" several times. So there you go! The ultimate seal of approval!Finally, I would like to mention that Britax Customer Services are brilliant. I've had to contact them a few times over the past 3 years that I've owned 3 different models of their seats (not due to any fault of the seats - just for advice and a spare part), and each time they've helped me quickly and professionally.

We own 3 of these and 2 much more expensive seats from other manufacturers that had better reviews. For us these are the best, having withstood 2* 6 month - 4 year old's so far perfectly.Update 2 years after first review, these are still doing well, we now own 4 of them for 2 cars and the other 2 we owned have either been given away or put in the roof. these are still in great condition and are now dealing with one 4 and one 6 year old. we have stripped them down to the plastic and washed the covers (you will need to do this trust me) and its not a hard process and the seats go back together easily and don't bleed colour or deteriorate from being washed. I'd still recommend these,our girls are tall and these still fit them fine even though they are almost big enough not to need them any more. We also bought a difference more expensive design for our parents to have, as they were meant to be easier to fit and allow for the girls to use them for longer. that was soon put away as we let them borrow on of these as well as the more expensive unit and they asked not to have the more expensive one again as my dad struggled to fit it where as these are simple.

I bought this for my 4 year old grandson who was visiting at Easter on the reviews, but it is a devil to understand the instructions and to fit. Daughter and son-in-law who are no fools struggled with the instruction book, but got there in the end. Son-in-law said that it was probably designed by a man (I smiled). A word of warning. He eventually worked it out by himself and once he was relaxed went through the book and found that the instructions are in two parts, one for a smaller child and one for the older child because of the height and he was looking at the wrong bit, so take a breath and read through it carefully first marking the pages with those sticky post lets making it easy to refer to.Good luck. I forgot to say that apart from the difficulty in setting it up, it is fit for its purpose, so no complaints with the product.

It's a great car seat but do read the reviews on shoulder straps if you are a first time car-seat user. It took us two days to-and fro-ing, with the seat already in the car, to be able to use it, after we had a non-starter journey with our toddler. Result was said toddler hated the seat as straps were too tight, and we couldn't find any info online on britax videos or in print on how to adjust shoulder straps. Everyone showed the button - but noone said you only had to pull one of the two straps at a time. So it took reading all the reviews here to figure it out. That's why we gave the seat 4 stars.It's a great seat though and hope our toddler will eventually learn to love it after more positive experiences.

Pros: An excellent well made product. Provides safe and secure adjustable seating that "grows with your child". Watch Britax's site for information about how to fit using vehicle's seat belt system as it is important to ensure the seat is stable and held in place by the vehicle's own seat belt system.Removable covers and easy to clean. Has a small tray for the child to utilise. Choice of colours are available if required.Con: The shoulder straps into the seat's buckle can be a bit fiddly to click into place, particularly if the child is fidgeting or wearing extra layers of cloths etc..

We bought our first pair of Britax Romers back in 2015 for my first born. The move from the infant carrier to this seat was so smooth because of the incline it provided, and its child-hugging design. We love everything about this seat that we bought two more in 2018 for our second child.In our view, there are only two cons with this seat:1. It can be a real hassle to install, but it hasn't prevented us from buying this seat again because we believe truly safe seats are not supposed to be easy to install2. The cup holders are too small for any cups we've ever had

The seat is comfortable and spacious, my daughter is very happy to sit in this compared to her last car seat which was the group down.Easy to install and not as bulky once in the car as it looked when taken out of the box.Negatives are daughters head falls forward if she is sleeping, you can’t put it into recline without uninstalling it. A smaller issue is the belt connectors are not the easiest to bring together to connect to buckle my daughter in.It’s a solid seat and comes from a good brand you can trust, and at a very competitive price.

Purchased on the 27 January 2017From prompt arrival to unpacking, the product has a reassuring feel of Safety, Quality & ComfortMy 16+ months old loves it, after sitting in and playing with it for a week or so in my living room floor he's just as keen and happy In the seat during short and long distance travels... Which is evidence of the comfort it provides my little lad, and the build quality and functionality do assure me and the Mrs that it will provide the safety should the need arise.Highly recommended ...18 Feb 2017.

Appears well made. Reasonably easy to install and move between vehicles using the car seat belts. Good that can be used from infant up to 12 years. No complaints from infant user - so assume it is comfortable. Question mark over premium price for addition of Isofix connectors - ended up not using them. The non Isofix connectors version has cosmetic differences with the infants harness which looks like a manufacturers ploy to further differentiate the versions and encourage the premium purchase

Very pleased with this car seat. Daughter is 3 and very comfortable. Only downside is to tilt seat back to a 'sleep' position you have to unstrap the whole seat. Therefore know in advance if they will sleep. I was aware of this before I purchased but as my daughter is happy to sleep wherever it has not been a problem. We do not use the 'sleep' position. Overall look is very smart. Easy to strap into car using existing seat belt. Easy to adjust straps/head rest position etc. Very happy.

Really like this seat - seems sturdy and well built. I found the installation is easier if you watch you tube. Easy to follow instructionsmuch easier than the booklet. I have only given 4 for the easy to use category because we find the straps quite fiddly to extend - you have to press and hold the button at the same time as pulling the straps.... doesn't always work smoothly but I'm sure will get easier as I get more used to it. To summarise - excellent buy.

15.9.2019

This product is great. Easy adjustable straps, secure 5 point harness and a slightly reclined position for the tried child. The fact that this chair enables you to not buy 1 chair for all the stages saves you money and time looking too. You don't have to keep detaching/attaching new seats each time either, sorted in a short time with the easy installation. The chair is well padded and my child looks so comfortable too. Definitely recommended!!!

Solid, well made with lots of thoughtful features. There's a fantastic range of adjustments that makes it suitable for a wide age-range, and the "tilt" feature is extremely useful on the rear seat of my camper, which has quite an upright back. The pull-out cup-holders are a great idea. All that flexibility makes it quite complex, but there's even a purpose-made slot in the back of it to keep the comprehensive instruction book WITH the seat.

16.7.2019

Great car seat at low price (it was discounted at the time of my purchase). Good material quality, easy to install, the seat's metal profiles to direct/hold the car seat belts seem to be not shaped quite ideally (for the car seat approach angles which are almost vertical) - no matter what you do the car belts are partially off these profiles. Not sure if that's compromising anything - the seat is mounted stiffly and appears secure.

Had this for my first son and purchased again as seat for my second son in husbands car and nanny’s. Great price and actually 18 month old looks more comfortable in this than our £300+ Joie seat. Still used by 6 year old too and comfortable. Importantly they look comfortable, safe and well supported on long journeys and if they fall asleep. Really easy to remove and put back in too.
