Britax Prism vs Britax Grove
Folded, the Britax Grove makes a 7.83 cu ft box to the Britax Prism's 10.25 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Britax Prism misses by 15.4 in and the Britax Grove by 14 in. The Britax Grove is 0.38 lb lighter by its maker's figure (24 lb to 24.38 lb). The Britax Grove is newborn-ready as sold; the Britax Prism needs a bassinet, insert or infant car seat for the first months.
