Advocate
July 3, 2014
I just received this seat but I like the improvements from the Boulevard I already own. The seat inserts are more secure and the click technology is very nice. I am happy with the improvements for side impact and the seat cushion seems very soft. I love the print as well- it is very girly!

great seat!
July 2, 2014
I started using this car seat rear facing with my daughter when she was 14 months. It fits in the car great and fits my daughter very well with the body insert that came with the seat. I am extremely happy with thus car seat! I had a chaperone car seat that my daughter was in until 14 months and the advocate was a great step up. It is very easy to use and very comfortable.

Great seat but not perfect for extended rear facing (which is the safe option)
June 25, 2014
Even though officially techs say all car seats are equally safe and all pass the same official safety tests, I got the Britax Advocate because I read other independent safety reviews and it looked comfortable and cushioned. After using it for around a year (my son is now 2 years old and still rear facing) I can say that it is, in general, a very good seat. HOWEVER: It does not allow for extended rear facing in general (my son is thankfully not tall) which is the safe option (children should rear face until 4 years old for safety, this is science-based). It is not the most comfortable option for rear facing as it makes the toddler sit more crunched, not enough leg space and the sides are high so he feels kind of cowered in the seat. It is certainly not his favourite and he often prefers to ride in his father's car where he uses another very good brand of car seat (also rear facing). Also, the side protection foam has broken very easily just from getting him in and out of the seat. Overall it is a good seat but i would go with another option if I were to purchase a seat again.

Best car seat on the market

As with all car seats, its a little tricky to set up, but once you work with it a couple of times, you will realize how easy it is. Very sturdy, secure and comfortable looking.

BEST car seat, BEST customer service!
June 16, 2014
I currently have two children and two Advocate car seats that I have used since 2010/2011, and they are hands-down the most comfortable, easiest to use, sturdiest/safest car seats on the market (and I am a picky momma!) We have had many children in and out of our vehicle with various other brands of car seats, and nothing else even comes close to our Britax seats. Britax stands behind their products and has gone above and beyond on several occasions helping us keep our seats in perfect working order. Highly recommend!

Side protection broke
June 15, 2014
I bought this for my first grandson, but the second one the side head protection broke when I took the cover off to wash it. It was cheap foam material. Our Britax Frontier on the other hand was sturdy plastic with a foam cover on it.

Great Safety Features
June 14, 2014
We have been using Britax products for more than two years and they do not disappoint. We have been in car accidents and they did their job well. I love how sturdy and secure the advocate feels and it is comfortable for my small 20 month old who is still rear facing. It is average to install as far as ease but is NOT for a small vehicle.

Seems pretty good
June 13, 2014
The seat is nice and soft. There are a few little things I would change. The head restraint is a little confining for a toddler. Also there is no indicator for the reclined position so we had to guess if it was in the proper spot for rear facing installation. She also misses the cup holders she has in the other car seat.

Conquering Parental Anxiety, with a Car Seat
June 3, 2014
In my almost 5 years of parenting Iâ€â"¢ve changed thousands of diapers, fed a comparable number of bottles, lost incalculable hours of much-needed sleep and had myriad Pixar moviesâ€â"¢ images permanently burned into my corneas after perpetual viewings. Parenting the two Junior Dudes has introduced me to activities that not only had I never done before, but many that I didnâ€â"¢t even know existed before I became a father. Siphoning the snot out of their congested little noses, anyone? There is one invaluable parenting exercise, however, which I had intentionally avoided doing since even before Day 1: I never learned how to install a car seat. Though Iâ€â"¢ve never acknowledged it before now, I admit that not knowing how to do something as vital as this has been a source of guilt. So youâ€â"¢re probably wondering why an extremely hands-on father like me never learned how to install a car seat and the answer is simple. Insecurity. Not wanting to fail as a father has been an ongoing fear since long before I actually became one and I donâ€â"¢t think thatâ€â"¢s abnormal. I frequently tell my boys, and myself, that my primary objectives are making sure they are always fed, healthy & safe. When we went to get our first infant seat installed a week before the Little Dude was born, it was my 37-weeks-pregnant wife maneuvering in the back seat of her Prius watching the Installation Guru finesse the intimidating harnesses and straps into place. I was afraid that when called upon to install a car seat in a real setting, I would do it wrong and my son would somehow get hurt as a result. So I strongly encouraged my wife, who is much better with attention to detail than Iâ€â"¢ll ever be, to learn the process. And for 4 1/2 years, sheâ€â"¢s moved the seats in and out of our cars like a professional. So I decided to finally do something about it. When the Britax people asked if we wanted to test out their Advocate "UltimateComfort Series" car seat*, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to finally learn this skill I desperately wanted but had long avoided. Since weâ€â"¢ve used Britax car seats for years, and I felt confident that theyâ€â"¢ve been keeping my boys safe, this was my golden opportunity to finally practice what I preach. I opened the box and read the instruction booklet cover to cover. I felt comforted knowing Britaxâ€â"¢s patented HUGS Chest Pads would be hugging the Littler Dude safely in his seat, since I canâ€â"¢t do it myself while driving. The technology Britax created to minimize the force a child encounters in the unexpected event of an accident is vital and the seatâ€â"¢s Integrated Steel Bars lock its connection to the car, reducing forward movement during a crash. There are countless features Britax includes to make sure that kids stay safe in the (Heaven Forbid) event of an accident. Those are the nightmares no parent wants to think about, but I feel better knowing Britax is looking out for my kids like they are their own. Since both of my boys are near the top of their respective growth charts, itâ€â"¢s reassuring to know that the 19-month-old Littler Dude can stay in this Advocate until heâ€â"¢s 65 pounds (and 49� tall), which should be at least another year (hopefully 4). When the moment of truth finally happened, when it was time to personally ensure my sonâ€â"¢s day-to-day safety, I brought the ownerâ€â"¢s manual and one more essential asset out to the driveway to help me install my first car seat: my wife. I expected a barrage of obstacles and challenges, but the truth is the actual installation took less than 10 minutes start to finish. Like a child afraid to try a new food, only to discover itâ€â"¢s delicious, I conquered a critical piece of self-doubt that had plagued me for 4 1/2 years. Knowing how safe and well-built Britax products are, I have no doubt that the Littler Dude will be safe in his new Advocate. Plus, now that I know first-hand how LATCH connectors and the Five-Point Harness work, I feel extra confident that my sons are in good hands…and comfy seats. (Did I mention that it's called the UltimateComfort Series partly because the headrests and seat itself are Memory Foam?) Though Iâ€â"¢m still a car seat novice, I can rest assured knowing that the Littler Dude clearly appreciates at least one essential feature of his Advocate: Britaxâ€â"¢s True Side Impact Protection, or as he likely views it, a cozy place to rest his head.

Like most first time parents.. we wanted the best.. after countless hours of research and conversations, we decided on the Britax Advocate 70 G3.. Fast forward 20 months, and there is another family member on the way, without hesitation, we bought another one. It feels and looks solid and secure. It has EXCELLENT reviews from any review I've read/seen. Yes it's a bit bigger than what most people want, and yes it's not something you want if you move car seats from vehicle to vehicle.. and yes it's not something you can pop out to carry your sleeping little one around... but that just means less parts to fail... Have we been tempter to get a cheaper, more mobile car seat so we don't have to wake the little one? NUMEROUS times!!.. but the trade off of safety for convenience just isn't worth it to us. We recently moved 1800 miles across the country.. the spouse was worried that after a trip of that distance, the little one would NEVER want to get in her seat again.. not even close.. in the last 20 months she has spent a LOT of time in her seat.. and she LOVES getting in it still. So even the little one gives it a great review!

I am so happy we purchased this car seat for your little guy. The quality of the product is top notch, but what really got us was the superior safety. We did a lot of research and looked at many different car seats before purchasing. After we saw this seat, all other convertible car seats we looked at felt like a compromise of our son's safety, and that was something we won't compromise.

I bought this (G3) before it was even available. LOVE it. We never used an infant seat. I couldn't justify buying two car seats when I could invest in one that would last from day one (5lbs 10 oz leaving hosp) through 70 lbs. Love it so much I just ordered the G4 for 2.0 arriving in Sept 2014!

BY FAR THE BEST SEAT FOR OUR CHILD.

AFTER REVIEWING COUNTLESS RESTRAINTS FOR COMFORT AND SAFETY THE VIDEO DISPLAYING THE ADVOCATE PRODUCT AND DESIGN JUST SETTLES THE SOUL AND EASES SAFETY CONCERNS. AFTER AN EXTREMELY SIMPLE INSTALLATION THE RIGID STRENGTH AND SECURITY OF THE SEAT IS CLEARLY FELT AND PLACING OUR CHILD INTO THE SEAT IS LIKE PLACING THEM INTO PROTECTING HANDS OF TECHNOLOGY AND COMFORT.

This car seat is so well made & sturdy. I love the extra side impact protection. It is a little heavy but I would expect that with all the safety features & would be skeptical if it was lightweight that it would fail to protect my pride and joy. Was not difficult to install rear-facing with the LATCH system & the directions were straightforward. We did affix the tether to the fixed part of the frame under the passenger seat for additional stability. Definitely worth the extra money. The "Manhattan" pattern is nice. Not sure if the foam inserts are worth the additional $10 price tag compared to the other Advocates. Highly recommend.

I just bought this car seat for my 2.5 year old. His grandmother has been using his infant carseat in her car and we decided it was time for to be in a bigger seat so I bought this one for my car and gave her the one he's been using in my car (which is a nice Graco). So far, I love this car seat. Was super easy for me to install and adjust alone. It is heavy but very sturdy and does not budge in the car even when my son is not in it. I am looking forward to our first long trip to see how he does. He's never had a problem riding in his car seat and he doesn't seem to mind still facing backwards but I think this seat will make it an even more comfortable experience for him.....and safer!

I really love this car seat! I initially reviewed the Advocate but the Ultimate Comfort Series is the one I purchased. This car seat appears to be extremely well made & very sturdy. It makes me feel a little more at ease knowing that my little one will have a great deal of protection in the event of an accident. It is a little heavy but you don't carry it around and a car seat that is lightweight surely can not be as safe. I love the "Manhattan" pattern. This car seat is quite easy to use and installs fairly easy as well. The directions were easy to follow. I was nervous at first wondering if it would fit in my standard mid-size sedan since I'm planning on getting a bigger vehicle shortly, but it fits perfectly! Definitely worth the money! I believe Britax is a quality brand so I got a Boulevard for the second car.

I really love the Advocate I purchased for my little one. I feel like it is the safest thing around. Yes it's a little heavy but you don't carry it around and you really can't get that much safety in a car seat that is very lightweight. Installation is not too labor-intensive and the directions were easy to follow. I also got a Boulevard as well for the second car since I really trust the Britax name. Would definitely recommend!

Had the seat about a week and thus far it is a great seat with super sturdy construction and design. Baby, 23 lbs., fits well in the seat and seems comfortable. Using it rear facing. Straps are nicely padded and there are plenty of adjustments for straps and the seat overall. Very pleased with purchase!

April 28, 2014
We have had this carseat for a little over a year. My daughter loves it and we were excited to have it grow with her ... she also loved choosing from all of the neat print/color options! I give 4 stars because I was a little disappointed that the cup holder would not stay attached and also one of the hugs straps snapped in half. Also, I was hoping my daughter could use this carseat for a couple of years since I used the fit test on the Britax website to fit her ... but she's at the maximum seated height now and since this seat is an investment, I don't like having to make another one so soon. Hoping to find a Britax product to transfer her to with great ratings!

Everything we wanted in a car seat
April 27, 2014
The car seat was comfortable, easy to install and adjust as our daughter grew. We researched extensively before buying and felt this would provide the safest ride. It also looks great, despite being a bit clunkier than other models. The car seat was put to the test during an accident in which the car was totaled but my 2 year was completely safe - not a scratch on her and not even a complaint of any kind of soreness or bruising.

We have been using the Britax B-Safe since we brought our son home from the NICU, we LOVED that seat, but now that he's almost 8 months old, it was time to move up. We just got our Advocate today and it is so nice and I LOVE all the safety features! I can't wait to try it out. We love all of our Britax products and will continue to be loyal customers and recommend to all.

April 25, 2014
We bought this for our daughter last year. She is now 2.5 yrs old & still happily rear facing! My daughter had an large illness happen while riding in her seat & it had to be fully taken apart, cleaned & reassembled. I have to say it was pleasantly easy to put back together. I discovered that the foam head wings had been broken at some point. I called Britax and was ready to pay for the part. It was replaced free of charge! I couldn't have been happier with their customer service. We have bought 7 Britax seats between both of our children and I always feel my babies are safe and secure riding in the car!

Both of my girls have an Advocate and they are so comfortable in them. The safety features are what sold me on the seats though. We are in the car a lot and with all the distracted drivers out there, it makes me feel better knowing that if we are in an accident my babies are protected by Britax.

So easy to use correctly
April 25, 2014
I love the ease of use. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because these seats have a short shell and minimal leg room for rear facing. I'm lucky that my daughter is small with short legs so she can remain rear facing longer in this seat. Britax, please address this design flaw so thati can once again give you 5 stars.

Advocate is brilliant
April 24, 2014
Bought one of these for my girls (and another without the side impact for the center seat so they could sit together in the middle row) love that we can change the height of the harnesses fast so we can change out who sits where quickly and easily with no fuss. This seat is big and heavy and a slight pain to install but once it is in there is no mistaking the fact that it is one of the safest on the market. Love that the seat fabric comes off without having to completely uninstall the seats! We feel good having our kids in these seats and spending the extra money for quality in the event they are ever in an accident!

We have had our 2 advocate car seays for a little over a year now, and I absolutely love them. We keep one in dad's car and the other I move between my car and truck. The ease of moving the seat and knowing it is properly installed is such a relief. It is also very easy to clean and always protects his head when he falls asleep (no floppy head/ kinked neck). I absolutely love love love them.
