I used to pronounce it the same way until I started called customer services for Britax and I heard them ALL referring to it as Brit-tax, as well as the videos on Britax's website.<br /> Chicco makes sense that its kee-ko, but I never knew that, so I always pronounced it chee-ko too :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-britax-and-chicco#post-1821201 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 10:22:09 +0000 Emsmems 1821201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: Hey, so I just watched the video about Britax's new car seats and they say Brit (as in Britain) -tax!

I only made that mistake once and from then on I've always called it "Kee-ko." Heh..now I sound stupid whenever I say it here in America since people don't know it's the Italian pronunciation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-britax-and-chicco#post-1802399 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 02:25:19 +0000 lemondrop 1802399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently the wrong way for both...

FWIW, my English friends say Brit-ax </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-britax-and-chicco#post-1800052 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:27:59 +0000 Corduroy 1800052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Britax drives me nuts. If your company name is derived from the words "British accessories" why so you say it Bry-tax. In my mind it is going to be Brit-ax. </p> <p>When my friend lent me her car seat she "warned" me that it's said kee-ko, not Chico, California city. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-britax-and-chicco#post-1800038 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:12:24 +0000 JerricaBenton 1800038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: Haha yup!

But I think the store guy was right. But, in what language is "chicco" the same as "kee-ko" ?!</p> <p>ETA: @JerricaBenton: Ha! I guess you answered my question. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-britax-and-chicco#post-1800027 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:03:27 +0000 JerricaBenton 1800027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to think it was britax with a short 'i' but I watched a video and heard the correct pronunciation. I knew chicco was a hard 'c' because I recognized the name as Italian. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-britax-and-chicco#post-1800024 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:01:59 +0000 cyan 1800024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to say both of them wrong, until I was corrected by an overzealous employee while looking at convertible seats. :-).
