One of the safest car seats out there!,
After totalling my truck in January 2010 (one of the worst winters in Boston), I decided to do my research and upgrade the car seat that we had. Oh, our kid was luckily not in the truck at the time of the accident and fortunately there were no serious injuries either…
I did my research and found out that this is one THE BEST and safest car seats one can put their hands on. Unfortunately, this is also one of the most expensive car seats out there! I really do wish this car seat was cheaper especially since I had to buy two (one for each car!). I did search everywhere and ultimately this was the best price you can get at Two Hundred Seventy Four dollars and Ninety nine cents with Free shipping. I looked for over a few months!
As far as the product goes, you’ll immediately understand why this seat is so great once you get it out of the box. You can adjust the straps without having to take your car seat out to change them in the back! It comes with side impacts to protect your childs head! The accident we were in, the truck fish tailed and hit an angle so this was a huge plus for me! The “Click and Safe” mechanism was a bit confusing to me at first but its just a clicking noise letting the parent know while shortening the seatbelt that the belt is now snug around their kid already seated in it and that the kid is safe now. Personally, I noticed that it was not accurate since sometimes the seatbelt gets caught by the velcro but it still thinks its snug. Needless to say I double check to make sure the seatbelt is no more than 2 fingers loose.
The Positive:
- Feels and looks very safe
- Very Sturdy
- Supports kids from 5 – 70 lbs which means you can use this for a LONG time (offsets the price a little since you don’t need to upgrade it as often)
- Very comfortable, my child doesn’t mind being seated in it! Actually tries to fasten the seatbelt too! The material is very soft…
- The cover comes off to be washed and put back
- Reclines
- Easily adjusts to the height of the kid
- Uses Safecell technology, looks and feels like styrofoam but this definitely helps absorb some of the shock in an accident.
The Negative:
- The Price!!!
- Can’t change the recline once anchored in the car
Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, if you can afford it but I would buy it only when its on sale…
I should also mention this since I struggled with the reclining portion of this car seat. You should recline the seat to whatever angle you want it BEFORE you anchor the car seat into the car. Once anchored you will NOT be able to change the recline unless you remove the anchors first, I believe that was a safety feature since they don’t want the seat to recline when in an accident may be? Anyways, at the end of the day, I feel better knowing that my child is very well protected in this car seat and thats all that matters…
A couple of links (1- Britax website with additional product description and features and 2- a youtube video which is a commercial of the Britax Advocate 70 cs) that may be helpful about this car seat (not sure if Amazon will delete them after I post but here they are anyways):
