Britax Child Safety, Inc. Introduces Essentials™ by Britax®
Safety is essential for all families: New brand delivers premium protection at an everyday value
FORT MILL, S.C. – January 11, 2018: Britax Child Safety, Inc., a leader in child passenger safety technology, announces the arrival of Essentials™ by Britax®. Built upon the premise that every child should receive the best possible protection, the new brand extends Britax safety to a greater number of families when they travel.
“Protecting your child is one of the most critical responsibilities as a parent,” stated Dann Provolo, President at Britax Child Safety, Inc. “Therefore the mission of our new Essentials by Britax brand is to provide all parents with more accessible car seats that offer Britax premium levels of protection.”
The initial offerings under the Essentials brand include the Allegiance Convertible Car Seat ($199.99) and the Emblem Convertible Car Seat ($239.99). Both are designed, engineered, tested and assembled with U.S. and global components at the Britax Americas headquarters in Fort Mill, S.C.
Born from the leader in child passenger safety, Essentials by Britax is a value brand built upon the focus that every family deserves the peace of mind that comes with over 50 years of Britax safety heritage. Each innovative feature is designed with your family in mind, because "Safe Enough" is not "Good Enough." The new line features the patented SafeCell® Impact Protection – an integrated system of safety components that work together to help shield child passengers in the event of a crash. These components include an integrated Impact-Absorbing Base that compresses to help reduce the force of a collision, an Energy-Absorbing Tether that helps minimize forward seat rotation to help keep baby’s head safe, and an Impact-Stabilizing Steel Frame which helps to absorb crash impact and provide seat stability. Side Impact Protection, created by a deep foam-lined shell, comes standard on both the Emblem and Allegiance convertible car seats, while the Emblem offers an additional layer of side impact protection in its adjustable head rest.
As with all Britax products, style was also an important focus when developing the Essentials by Britax brand. Expect a variety of new colors and comfortable fabrics, as well as some popular fashion options from the current Britax line for both the Allegiance and Emblem models.
Essentials by Britax becomes available in-store at Walmart, Target and buybuy BABY in January 2018, followed by availability on-line and at independent retailers. Stay tuned for future Essentials by Britax brand expansions into other car seat categories beginning in early spring 2018.
