This is a must have for any family with multiple cars. Makes going places an easy task. Don't have to worry about the hassle of moving the car seat base between cars. Just have a base in the cars you use, snap the car seat in and be on your way. If you are on a tight budget though (and this thing isn't the cheapest), Britax car seats can be be manually buckled in (in other words, you don't NEED a base). However, the difference is an easy snap versus stringing the seatbelt through the correct holes in the carseat, etc. The extra base saves you a lot of time and ENERGY, which you'll probably be short on, especially with a newborn. Definitely a convenient thing to have though.

It is easy to use and set up, but the clasp is a real pain to both open and close. I nearly broke my finger trying to open it once closed. Which I guess means it's not likely to open during use, but also means this is not an ideal product in cars where it is likely to be moved in and out of the seat often. I have had to move it 3 times since installing it and it is still a pain to open, requiring significant pressure on a very small part of one finger to open. My wife can't do it, and even I have a hard time if I can't get proper leverage. My recommendation is to set it and forget it. Our older Britax models were hard to open too, but not this hard. We still have the old ones and while the design is the same for the clasp it is just a lot harder to use on this model. In any case that is one very very minor complaint of this seat base.

The level is a nice touch. The bottom of the base is flat, which is a huge improvement over older models which left indentations in the seat when removed. This one does not seem to have that problem.

Otherwise it is what it is, a seat base. No one buys one without the seat anyhow, and there don't appear to be 3rd party options, so you are kind of stuck with this. All in all this does the job, it is exactly the same as the base that comes with the car seat, so there is not much more to say about it.

My wife and I bought a second base for our car seat after getting frustrated with constantly either moving the only base we had between cars or having to manually run the belt every time we put our daughter in the car. Having a second base means each car has one in it at all times. Super convenient. If you're on the edge about it, just do it.
