Oh My WOWness! I HEART BRITAX…

March 24, 2010 By Lena

There are some days when you roll out of bed, and feel more blessed than others. Yesterday proved to be such a day for me.

During the early hours of afternoon, while Ryder was napping and I was brooding over the lack of sunshine, the doorbell rang. Now, unless I’m expecting someone, I normally don’t like to answer the door while I’m home alone with the baby… but I could see the familiar brown UPS truck idling by my driveway.

As I opened the door, Jerry (who I’m pretty much buddies with thanks to my online shopping habit) smiled at me and said, “I’ve got a couple of big boxes for you today.”

I was instantly on guard. What the heck did I order? Now at just under 8 months preggo, I’ve been battling insomnia for the last week – but surely I didn’t order a two-piece leather sectional in the wee hours of morning?

He jumped into his truck and proceeded to unload the first box – and I instantly recognized the beloved Britax logo. For moi? Things only got better when a matching logo made it’s way to my doorstep next.

It turns out, when the good folks at Britax found out I was having another baby, they decided to graciously send me the Chaperone travel system to enjoy! The travel system includes the Britax Chaperone Infant Car Seat, and well as the Britax Chaperone Full Sized Stroller! Woot! Woot!

I cannot wait to test and review these items for my readers! It’s so secret that I LOVE Britax (seen by the fact that I blog just about every Britax car seat sale that I come across), and I am so humbled that the company is interested in my opinion of the products. Yes, yes, yes!

And speaking of sales, you can find awesome deals on a variety of Britax products at the moment, including the Chaperone Travel System ~

For readers in the US, check out Diapers.com, where the travel system is just $379.99 (save $150)! That’s the best deal I’ve ever seen on the complete travel system!

For my Canadian peeps, the Chaperone Stroller is $50 off at Babies R Us during their Baby Fest (ends Thursday), down to just $299.97 from $349.99. The Chaperone Infant Car Seats are also on promotion – $40 off, down to just $229.97 from $269.99.

If you’ve got a toddler on your hands, you can also grab the Boulevard Convertible Car Seat for just $299.97, down from $329.99.

Look for my review of the car seat and stroller in early to mid June, after I’ve had a chance to put them to the test with Ryder’s baby brother. And please don’t hate – you know I love sharing with my readers! Hmm… I foresee a “Lena Loves… Britax” feature on the way… that’s all I’m disclosing for now, but trust me – you won’t want to miss it!

    My 8 mo. old is dangling off of his car seat and it's time to upgrade. I knew I wanted Britax, but this confirms it!

    I have two Marathons in my car for my 3 1/2 and 10 month old! They LOVE their carseats, never a peep out of them…and I LOVE that the straps don't tangle! :-D As I was once told "Britax is the Cadillac of carseats"…LOVE THEM!!! Can't wait for the giveaway! :-D

    How FUN! I love it when I get an unexpected surprise like that – it truly makes my month. I actually haven't had a chance to try the Britax yet so I'm eagerly awaiting your review. Please, please, please tell me how two car seats fit in the backseat. I didn't think about this before but I have no idea where we are going to put our little one once he/she arrives – our jetta won't fit the Peg Perego and the Safety 1st Air Seat at the same time. Our options – a car rack or a trailer… or, a new car. Argh!
