5.0 out of 5 stars If you can't afford the Britax Advocate 70, buy this instead! March 12, 2012
By Lisa M. Castaneda
Pros: Comfortable, Stylish, Sturdy, Easy to install, Safe
Best Uses: Infants, Toddlers
Describe Yourself: First Time Parent
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

If you absolutely can't afford the Britax Advocate 70, then purchase this carseat!! I did tons of research and spoke with experts.

I purchased two carseats - this one for my husband's vehicle, which my son and I are not in as much as in my vehicle. Shopping around and using coupons (Great Trade-in event) helped bring the price down. However, considering the number of years my son will be in this seat and how safe this seat is (its safety is unparalleled by any other seat on the market), it's worth every penny to purchase. The price difference is less than a single car payment for those who don't purchase vehicles in cash.

Things that are great about it:
* The side impact technology
* It's safe for use onboard aircraft.
* Manual was easy to read (though hard to find as it was already positioned in the pocket behind the seat where it stays while the seat's in use).
* I was able to install it properly by myself (my husband's deployed). I made an appointment with our California Highway Patrol. The CHP officers installed it using the lap seatbelt in my husband's car's backseat (the car doesn't have LATCH). They said the seatbelts are stronger than LATCH b/c LATCH is only rated to 40 lbs anyway. They were able to cinch it down only another 1/2 inch tighter than I did. There's no tether strap to anchor.

Things that aren't so great about it:
* It is bulky. It's a tight fit sitting next to it while it's set up in the middle seat, but even overweight female family members are able to still fit.
* It also doesn't have the headrests that the Britax Advocate 70 CS has, which I purchased for my own car. 


5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy Seat! April 28, 2012
By Missy C 1980
I'm very picky on carseats. I have to feel that my baby is very safe like we all do. I definitely feel this way about this seat. I picked this one up at Toys R Us for $190 including tax (I had a coupon for $50 off). The latch system is so easy to install (about a 1 minute install) and you don't have to mess with the safety belts. Other people wrote that it did not install in their car using the latch system. I drive a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta and it works perfectly fine. Maybe it's a Honda thing? This seat was purchased for my 10 month old son (31" and 25lbs). I like this seat so much that I bought the Evenflo E3 Booster seat for my almost 4 year old daughter. Hope this helps.

I've been using this seat for a few months now. It fit great in my small SUV, the straps were easy to adjust which was a big thrill for me after having a Graco Nautilus (which didn't easily adjust), and I feel as though my baby is safe in this seat! It cleans up well when we've gotten it dirty, and was super easy to install!
