Summary: Highly recommended
The Safe n Sound Maxi Guard is one of the best G-type seats released, keeping your child safe until approximately 8 years of age. Many factors make this an excellent seat — it’s the standard other manufacturers should aspire to.
Britax was the second company to release a new G-type seat, in accordance with the new child restraint standards released in September 2014.
A G-type seat means your child can stay harnessed to approximately 8 years of age — great news for parents dreading the daily struggle of a booster seat. With a G seat, you no longer need to move to a booster once your child outgrows the standard harnessed age range, giving you a safe way to keep them harnessed all the way to 8.
📏 Ensure your Maxi Guard will fit
Before buying, make sure your car doesn’t have a low roof — you need enough clearance to raise and lower the Maxi Guard’s headrest with ease. It’s almost identical in size to the Maxi Rider, and there are some cars where it simply won’t fit.
🧼 Easy cleaning
Unlike many other car seats, the Maxi Guard’s covers come off easily should they get messy.
🛋️ Safe n Sound Maxi Guard recline
Being able to switch between upright and reclined positions is an important feature — especially as your child moves from rear-facing to forward-facing and wants to sleep in a reclined position in the car.
🎽 Easy adjust harness
Being able to easily tighten or loosen the harness — without needing superhuman strength — is a feature every child restraint should have. You shouldn’t need tricks like pulling the harness from behind, or pulling in short bursts.
One wishlist item: we’d have loved to see the Maxi Guard let you raise the Active Head Restraint (AHR) headrest without needing to loosen the harness first.
🔧 Safe n Sound Maxi Guard installation
The Maxi Guard can be difficult to get a tight, secure fit. It’s highly recommended to use a curved gated buckle to stop the installation slipping over time. If you’re at all unsure about installing it yourself, contact mobile baby car seat fitting in Melbourne — or better yet, text 0420 516 587. Always use an ACRI accredited car seat fitter.
Highly recommended
The Britax Safe n Sound Maxi Guard Pro has enough genuinely strong features to make it one of the best restraints on the market. Being able to switch between an upright or reclined position matters to a lot of parents wanting a good sleeping position for their child.
