The King of all car seats, the Regent is the solution for parents to keep their child in a harnessed child restraint for as long a possible. With its large roto-molded shell, comfy, extra thick comfort foam, and soft, washable covers, children can arrive securely and comfortably at their destination. The Regent exceeds U.S. safety standards with the rigid Britax testing standards. The tangle-free, five-point harness and push-button LATCH connectors help to tightly secure your child every day. Unique features include the patented Versa-Tether for energy management, energy-managing protective foam liner, four harness heights and two buckle strap positions. The Regent fits children forward facing from at least one year old and 22 pounds, up to 80 pounds. The Regent is made in the USA with U.S. and global components.

I love this car seat! Fits well in my van and is very sturdy. I am currently using it for my 5 1/2 year old and she has lots of room. It has great protection on the sides and secures very well to the car. Belts are secure but not too difficult that she can't buckle herself in. Also very easy to adjust. I would highly recommend this for parents that would like the safety of a 5 point harness for their older child!
I love this seat-my friends call me a car seat nazi because I am so into the safety of children in cars. This is a great seat because your child can stay in it for much longer. My son is 5yrs old and weighs 50 pounds and he still has plenty of room for growing. It really is unsafe for a child to use a seat belt or even use the booster-the seat belts in cars are made to fit people with the height of 4 feet 9 inches. this seat gets you very close to that height-it is now replaced with the Britax Frontier 85 which allows one more inch of growth-make sure you are checking seated height and not just standing height when buying a car seat. Some children have longer torsos and so they could out grow the seats harness heightinstead of the whole ears above the top of the seat or before they out grow the seat in weight. Hope that makes sense.
Pros: Solid construction, lots of room (width-wise), 5-point harness, Fit in the middle seat of a smaller car (I drive Honda Fit 2010).
Cons: HEAVY! This means that it is not convenient to move it from car to car every day! Once you install it, it should ideally stay in that car. It does not install as easily (partly because it is heavy and unwieldy to maneuver). Despite following the instructions, I still don't feel that the car seat is anchored as solidly as if I was anchoring a Britax Marathon.
Background: We have always use Britax. When our daughter outgrows her Britax Marathon we got a Britax Regent. The Regent is very good and it works fine, we've used it for a year (It's just hard to beat Britax Marathon; I think its the best car seat ever). BTW, all Britax carseats really have a solid construction compare to other car seats I have inspected when I shopped around in the last 5 years.
