The Britax Skyline was, once upon a time, the go-to performance booster seat but sadly this booster has had its heyday. While it benefits from high capacity, adjustable headrest, and two-stage from high-back to backless, there are many models that you can get your hands on for the same (or less) money, that outstrip it for specs, features, and practicality. Is the Britax Skyline worth the money? Is it right for your kids and family? What are the best alternatives? We’ll tackle all these questions and more, bringing you the key things you need to know.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At 11 pounds, the Britax Skyline isn’t light (compared to those really lightweight convertible car seats<\/a> under 10 pounds), nor is it particularly portable -and why would you want to limit this thing just to travel situations, anyway?<\/p> Ultimately, those who’ll get the most out of the magic Skyline can provide are parents who prioritize safety, comfort, and convenience for their children while traveling. It’s a fantastic booster car seat to graduate from an average, more kid-oriented choice before you’re ready to take the likes of what the Chicco<\/a> and Diono<\/a> lines have to offer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The Britax Skyline is a great booster, but do I think it’s worth the price tag? Most likely yes. It’s the cheapest Britax car seat and cheaper than the other booster seat from Britax – Highpoint<\/a>, which has very similar weight and height limits, a 10-position headrest, and two-stage booster modes.<\/p> The Highpoint, as its name indicated, has safety extras for kids and easy-to-use features for parents. It includes three layers of side impact protection (one more layer than Skyline), a SecureGuard for enhanced safety and installation, and a LATCH system for easy installation. But it’s higher priced, at $199.99. Check the comparisons on Britax Skyline vs Highpoint<\/a>.<\/p> If you don’t need these extras and want a basic booster with the necessary features to ensure your kid’s safety and comfort while still giving you the convenience to use and maintain – a lot of parents prefer this as far as I know, the Britax Skyline would be a better option and it’s worth the price tag.<\/p>Britax Skyline Review - Three Layers of SIP for Optimal Protection<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
