Britax Car Seat Review & Giveaway

By /

I love Britax car seatsand feel that it’s one of the safest brands around. All 3 of my boys are in car seats (both convertible and booster) and I feel that they are safe traveling around in the car in them.  I was introduced to the Advocate CS from Britax and was quite impressed with the durability and design of the car seat.  The Advocate CS is certified for Aircraft Travel and can be used either rear or forward facing with recline for child comfort and postioning.  Your infant will be comfortable with the Infant Body Pillow, creating a custom fit for your little one.

The Advocate CS comes with a Patented, Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether, complete with staged-release tether webbing and anchors the top of the child seat at two points to minimize forward movement in a crash.  HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard System) reduces forward head movement and cushions the chest in the event of impact.  Built-in Lock-Off(s) secure the vehicle seat belt so that the child seat doesn’t move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.  Installation is made easy (and securely) with the Small Contoured Base, ensuring that you have a tight installation in all types of vehicles.  The Energy-Absorbing Base deforms in the event of a crash to absorb impact forces.  The Premium, Push-Button Lower LATCH Connectors, making for a quick, simple, and tight installation.

The Advocate CS includes convenient Harness Holders that keep harness straps out of the way when placing your child in the car seat.  The Front Harness Adjuster provides effortless front adjustment when loosening the harness system.  You’ll love the Quick-Adjust Head Restraint and No Re-thread Harness Adjustment which allows you to easily adjust the harness shoulder height and head restraint without dissassembling the harness.  The Five-Point Harness mades contact with the strongest parts of the body. 

Comfort and safety are two important features you should look for when searching for a car seat for your little one.  You’ll feel safe putting your child in this car seat with the Energy-Absorbing Foam Liner (EPS), which absorbs and distributes crash forces.  The High Density Comfort Foam provides an extra layer of padding to gently cushion your child.  The Plush, Premium Cover Set comes with a matching belly pad, providing extra comfort.  The Flexible Mount System allows the side impact cushions to move multi-directionally for easy access to the installation and height adjustment features.

The Advocate CS has a 65-pound weight capacity for safety and comfort through the toddler years.  You can purchase the Advocate CS in stores online.  It retails for $369.99. 

If you are preparing for a baby or know of someone who is, you’ll want to check out the Britax Chaperone!  There are so many amazing features that make the Britax Chaperone easy to love!  The Chaperone is durable and functional, in addition to being a good looking car seat!  The Chaperone is Certified for Aircraft Travel and has a design that makes it compatible with strollers.  It works with Britax Chaperone strollers and other major stroller brands when used with the Britax adapter strap.  \

The Chaperone includes an easy-to-install Seat-to-Base Design that self-guides the carrier into the proper locked position.  The Easy-to-Install Base comes with LATCH Connector Storage.  The Easy-to-Read Level Indicators (on base) provide quick reference for proper angle of recline.  The Built-in Lock-Off(s) secure the vehicle seat belt so that the child seat doesn’t move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.  A Front Harness Adjuster provides effortless front adjustment when loosening the harness system.  No Re-Thread Harness Adjustment allows you to adjust the harness height without having to re-thread the harness straps.  The Height Adjustment Knob (on base) creates a proper seat angle and positioning. Premium, Push-Button Lower LATCH Connectors make it possible for a quick, simple, and tight installation.

The Ergonomic Carry-Handle is designed to contour to your forearm, allowing for a more comfortable way to carry your child in the carrier.  The Energy-Absorbing Foam Liner (EPS) absorbs and distributes crash forces and the High Density Comfort Foam provides an extra layer of padding to gently cushion your child.  The Extra-Large Canopy blocks wind, rain, and harmful UV rays from your baby’s sensitive skin.  The Plush, Premium Cover Set comes with a matching belly pad that provides extra comfort.

The Britax Chaperone has a 30-pound Weight Capacity for safety and comfort through the first years.   The Chaperone is available in stores and online and retails for $229.99.

MY THOUGHTS

I think that Britax is a reliable brand and I am happy to stand by it on my site.  I use Britax for all of my boys and have nothing but great things to say about it.  A big thank you goes out to Britax for creating a car seat that is durable, functional, and looks great as well!

    I like the compact convertible seats because I drive a small car and they would fit easier.

    What I love about the Britax Car Seats is their high safety ratings because that is the most important thing to me in terms of choosing a car seat.

    I like the fact that it has ” No Re-Thread Harness Adjustment allows you to adjust the harness height without having to re-thread the harness straps.”

    I have two britax seats for my 2 and 4 year olds – I love that the straps never get tangled or twisted, they are easy to put in the car and make very secure, and the kids are comfortable in them.

    I love how padded and cushy the seats are and how comfy my kids look in them. I love that they’re easy to clean and adjust and how the straps don’t get twisted. I love their little touches like the velcro to keep the seatbelts at the side so they don’t get stuck under the kids; the piece of fabric that covers the clip so it doesn’t pinch the kids; the instruction book that hangs from the seat always handy… But most of all I love knowing that my kids are protected by the safest rated carseat on the market.

    I have one Roundabout for my 15 month old son, and am having twin boys this fall. I will absolutely get Britax for both of them. I love the stability of their brand, the quality, the patters, and the harness. If I don’t win, I’ll be sure to buy two more. I trust Britax with the life of my children, which I think is saying quite a bit!

    I like the Anti-Rebound Bar – I know from experience how an infant seat can rebound and it’s dangerous.

    I love that the Britax Chaperone is airline approved. We fly fairly often from CA to OH, and are worried about holding our 3-week old in our laps.

    My favorite thing about Britax is how easy they are to install. I frequently ride with my Mom and having a car seat that is easily transferred would be a plus!

    I am super impressed with Britax because of how comfortable they are!! A couple of years ago my nephew would cry every time you put him in his car seat. Then, he got a Britax car seat and suddenly liked riding in the car. He would even sit in his seat and lovingly stroke it!!! 🙂

    I love all the saftey features that Brtax has to offer. I am a fan of harnesses and like the way the harness straps work and how they don’t get in the way when putting the child in the seat.

    I love the easy latch system – it makes taking it out of the car and putting it back in so much more simple than any other car seat.

    I really like this The Chaperone includes an easy-to-install Seat-to-Base Design that self-guides the carrier into the proper locked position. That way I don’t have to worry about making a mistake and not properly securing baby.

    Being a soon to be mom I love the idea of “Easy-to-Read Level Indicators (on base) provide quick reference for proper angle of recline” anything that will make being a new mom easy I am up for!

    I have a Britax Marathon for my 18 month-old and I love Britax. They have great safety ratings and safety standards. My marathon is so sturdy and we are able to install it so that it doesn’t budge a milimeter! When I think of Britax, I think of quality and safety. I’d love to have the Chaperone for my next baby! The Anti-Rebound bar is genius!

    Not only are their products reliable and worth bragging about – but their products are versitle and can be used for more than just a short time. I appreciate not having to go out and purchase something again for the next stage – but can utilize many of their products in more ways than one.

    I really like the Britax brand as I trust them. I have a 16 month old son that has a Roundabout- and it is comfortable and I feel he is very safe in it. I am having twins this fall and need another infant seat- this would be perfect, thanks!

    I love the extra layer of padding. It amazes me when shopping for car seats that manufacturers actually think it’s OK to let anyone sit for extended periods of time on a hard piece of plastic. I think they should try it themselves first and then redesign the chair. I was very happy to see this addressed!

    The No Re-Thread Harness Adjustment allowing you to adjust the harness height without having to re-thread the harness straps is a dream. Remember when this used to be such a hassle?
