Reviewed in the March Edition of Mother & Baby magazine, and up against some very tough competition from the usual Group 0+ contenders including the Maxi Cosi Pebble, Jane Matrix Light, Recaro Young Profi Plus and the Concord Intense, it was the Britax that stood out amongst the crowd and receieved the highest rating within the category.
Some of the reviews touched on the fabric as being ‘lovely and soft’ as well as being ‘well-padded’ whilst the sheer fuctionality of the SHR (standing for single handed release) being present as well as this not impacting on the handle being comfy to hold whilst carrying your precious cargo, it does go to show that Britax have given great consideration not just to functionality, but also to practicality too.
The weight of the seat is 3.9kg, which makes it not as light as the Recaro Young Profi Plus (at 3.5kg) but lighter than the Maxi Cosi Pebble and much lighter than the Jane Matrix Light (which weighs 6.5kg).
The verdict of the Mother & Baby Magazine review is as follows:
“Sturdy with a reassuringly safe feel. It’s versatile – fitting any of the Britax pushchair range and is seat belt, ISOFix or standard base compatible. An excellent all-rounder offering value for money.”
Given a rating of 4.5 (out of 5) it came out as the winner against the rest of the infant carriers, having accumulated scores of 4.5 for Value, 4 for Practicality and 4.5 for Quality, it is understandable why the Britax Baby-Safe Plus SHR II was therefore awarded the status of Best Buy from Mother & Baby magazine.
The overall standings are shown below with their rating, out of 5 displayed next to the product names:
Mothercare Travel Tot – 3
Concord Intense – 3
Jane Matrix Light – 3.5
Maxi-Cosi Pebble – 4
