Britax Endeavours vs B-Safe Ultra Infant Seats Compared

March 15, 2018 By Kristian

Britax Endeavours                 Britax B-Safe Ultra

            vs     

The Britax B-Safe Ultra Seat Arrives April 2018! 


At the time of writing this comparison review, the Britax B-Safe Ultra infant car seat has not yet been officially released onto the US market.

It is, however, due to be released at the end of April 2018 and Britax are taking Pre-Orders now.

Although the Britax B-Safe Ultra seat looks almost identical to the Britax Endeavours infant seat (and it is in fact almost the same seat), there are a couple of notable differences for you to consider prior to making a purchasing decision.

So, what exactly are the similarities and differences between the Britax Endeavours and the Britax B-Safe Ultra car seats? Which one is best for your child?

Britax Endeavours vs B-Safe Ultra – The Similarities


#1 Child Weight Limits

The Britax Endeavours and B-Safe Ultra seats both come with maximum child weight limits of 35 lbs.

#2 Child Height Limits

The maximum child height limit is also 32 inches for both seats.

So, both products are amongst the best infant seats available on the market when it comes to maximum child height limits. Children very often outgrow their infant seats by height before they outgrow them by weight and so this is a very important number to consider when choosing a seat.

NB: Looking at the maximum height limit is usually more important than looking at the maximum weight limit.

#3 Seated Shoulder Height

Again, both seats have the same seated shoulder height of between 6.5 and 11 inches.

#4 Built-In Lockoffs

For those parents that need to install their seat using the adult seatbelt rather than LATCH connectors, both seats come with built-in lockoffs to make it much easier to get a snug and secure installation.

Both the Britax Endeavours and Britax B-Safe Ultra seats, however, have a different option to consider when installing it using the vehicle seat belt rather than LATCH connectors – see below.

#5 Dual Level Indicators

Both seats come with dual level indicators to confirm when the seat has been installed at a safe and correct angle within the car, which provides much needed peace of mind to parents of young babies.

#6 Side Impact Protection

Both seats come with Britax’s top-of-the-range premium Side Impact Protection features that significantly exceed the federal minimum safety standards.

The Britax Endeavours and B-Safe Ultra seats both come with Safecell Complete Side Impact Protection Plus.

This Safecell Complete Side Impact Protection Plus system comprises 4 elements:

  • Rigid Shell (plus integrated steel bars) with Deep Side Wings
  • Energy-Absorbing Foam
  • Impact-absorbing Safecell Base
  • Extra-padded Head Restraint

The impact-absorbing Safecell base found on both seats comprises a red “honeycomb” structure that help to absorb crash forces.

The extra-padded adjustable head restraint is not found on the cheaper standard B-Safe 35 model.

#7 Seating Adjustments

The Britax Endeavours and B-Safe Ultra seats both have 2 extra harness slot height positions over and above those found on the basic B-Safe 35 seat. They also have 2 crotch buckle strap depths.

The Britax Endeavours & Ultra options are:

  • Harness Slot Heights at 5.5/6.5/8/8.75/10/11 inches
  • Crotch Buckle Strap Depths of 4 & 6 inches

Britax have also re-positioned the strap-adjustment button so that it is no longer hidden underneath the seat fabric. The button is now very easy to find and operate without having to fish around underneath.

The benefit of having the extra harness slot positions is that you are more likely to be able to get the perfect fit to your growing child with the Britax Endeavours and B-Safe Ultra seats than the standard B-Safe 35.

#8 Seat Weight

The Britax Endeavours and B-Safe Ultra seats both weigh approximately 11.5 lbs, which is slightly more than the basic B-Safe 35 seat, but only by about 1.5 lbs. They are not particularly heavy seats when compared with other premium models on the US market.

These seats are heavier than some basic models largely due to the extra safety and convenience features. Unless you have physical limitations, this additional weight probably won’t make much difference when carrying the seat around.

#9 Harness Adjustments

Both seats come with a 5-point harness that can be adjusted very quickly and simply, and without needing to re-thread it every time.

Personally, I would always pay extra for the convenience of being able to make these seat adjustments without having to re-thread the harness each and every time, which can be a real pain for busy parents and other carers.

#10 European Belt Path

Both of these seats come with a European style Belt Guide.

This means that you have the option of being able to safely and securely fit them in your vehicle without using the LATCH connectors. Whilst most modern cars are fitted with LATCH connectors and it is much more convenient to simply click the seat in and out of the seat base on every journey, there are situations in which this additional belt path option is very useful.

If you need to use the seat with multiple vehicles and cannot afford to buy multiple seat bases, or if you have grandparents or other occasional carers that need to transport your baby in their vehicles, the option to install the seat using an easy European style belt method is very convenient.

 

Other similarities include:

  • Newborn Insert Cushion
  • Easy Remove Cover for Easy Cleaning
  • Stroller Compatible
  • Certified for Aircraft Travel
  • 6 year seat expiration

Britax Endeavours vs B-Safe Ultra – The Main Differences


The Britax Endeavours seat comes with 1 extra feature that is not found on the B-Safe Ultra seat.

The B-Safe Ultra Seat comes with 2 extra feature that are not found on the Britax Endeavours seat.

Let’s take a quick look at those features so that you can decide which of these seats is going to be most suitable for you and your child.

The 1 feature that is only found on the Endeavours seat is …

#1 Anti-Rebound Bar

The Britax Endeavours comes with an anti-rebound bar, but the B-Safe Ultra does not.

The anti-rebound bar is designed to press into the back of the car seat during a collision and is said to absorb energy and reduce rebound rotation by up to 30% during such an accident.

This is a nice extra safety feature to have on an infant seat and Britax seem to be adding anti-rebound bars to as many of their seats as they can, including their convertible car seats.

The 2 features that are only found on the B-Safe Ultra seats are …

#2 Ultra Cool Mesh Fabric

The B-Safe Ultra seat is an excellent choice if you live in a place that experiences hot temperatures. Unlike the other Britax infant seats, and other competitor seats, the B-Safe Ultra comes fitted with a special cool mesh fabric that allows the hot air to circulate more freely around your child when they are seated.

This makes it much easier for them to remain cool, especially during long journeys.

The Ultra seat is a cool and comfortable option for your child.

#3 Flip-Forward Belly Pad

The Flip-Forward Belly Pad that comes with the B-Safe Ultra provides extra padding around the front part of their body for extra comfort.

It also makes it easier to access the harness buckle for easy loading and unloading.

Buy the Britax Endeavours and Ultra Seats


The Britax Endeavours and B-Safe Ultra models are both excellent premium infant car seats, but as you can see from my comments above, there are a couple of differences between them. You will have to decide for yourself whether or not those extra features are important for you and your child.

If you live in a hot part of the country, the Cool Mesh fabric found on the Ultra model is going to be a big plus point. If you don’t live in a hot climate, and want the added protection afforded by the anti-rebound bar, then the Endeavours is probably going to be your best bet.

    Great review! One thing I would also point out is that by selecting the Endeavour with the rebound bar you’re also looking to add significant inches to the seat and base depth. I had the old Britax Chaperone which also had a rebound bar but the base was too deep to fit behind my husband’s BMW 5-series passenger seat comfortably. Thankfully we only had one car seat at the time to contend with but when baby #2 came along I knew I needed to get a new infant seat.
