The Decathlon is one of the few convertible car seats we have seen that really can accommodate newborns almost as well as a true infant seat. Its unique padded insert cradles and cushions newborns for the proper fit and support for their young bodies, and even adjusts to fit them as they grow. Then, when your child is old enough, you can remove the insert and continue to use the Decathlon all the way until your child reaches 65 pounds or 49 inches - always in a 5-point harness, and always in best-in-class comfort and style.
New for this year, the Decathlon also incorporates the new Rip-Stitch top tether. This is an exciting new innovation by Britax that incorporates two breakaway layers of stitching in addition to the regular strong layer. In an impact, the breakaway layers absorb a good deal of impact energy and greatly improve safety.
Other highlights include LATCH, easy one-hand harness adjustment, comfortable and durable microfiber fabrics, and the class-leading style and build quality you expect from Britax.
