Britax all the way!

I’m a Britax momma all the way! My oldest had britax seats and now my youngest does too. I don’t think I will ever buy a different brand...nor should you when it’s your baby’s safety!

Great Product, has lasted with a dirty 6 year old!
October 3, 2019
This has been such a great product. It has grown with our son old from rear facing to forward. It's still comfy at 50 lbs, and 7 years old. There is never a question of comfort when we ask him to hop in the car. Love this product!

Easy connections
October 3, 2019
I bought this for my grandchild for when she is with us to keep from changing out the seat from car to car. It can be cumbersome to get the seat clicked into my Jeep Grand Cherokee, and getting it to sit perpendicular, I think this is from the way the bottom seat is made in the Jeep; the car seat sits a little sideways. I like the safety features of the seat but I feel that the red handle that allows you to tilt the seat can be very aggravating to use and it has popped off several times trying to get the seat to tilt. Just to clarify that it is with it not being in the car; strapped in. Everything else is good. We also purchased the cup holder, it works good. I know we had to remove the rubber grip from around the mouth of the cup holder because my grandchild could not get her cup out of it. It works good, her cups don't fall out.

great and safe seat but hard to clean
September 6, 2019
I love this seat for the quality and comfort for my child. It's our favorite of all of our seats. It can easily fit a small child with all the padding. Installing with the click tight is so much easier than other seats we have. However, cleaning it is a big pain. It takes us almost an hour to undo all the fabric then re-do every little piece. For this reason, we went with another brand for our other car seat for our next kid just to try to

Comfy, sturdy, easy to install
August 26, 2019
We had Peg Perego car seats before this and they’re great too. However these have higher safety ratings so I wanted to make the switch when our second was born. We have a 1 year old and a 3 year old in these seats. The one year old is still reversed with the bar that you need to buy in addition to the seat. After watching crash test videos I’m so glad we got the bar. The seats are very comfy and well made. The button to release the straps is deeper than my 3 (almost 4) year old can reach. They were a breeze to instal and I did it by myself.

This is my second Advocate. Got this one for baby #2. It's a bit of a bear to install, but its heft is reassuring. It's the top of the line for Britax. YouTube videos comparing the different Britax models sold me. The belt release button is easier to use that the earlier model i have. Got this $50 off during a sale, I guess the fabric was not popular, but didn't matter to me.

Great convertable carseat
August 4, 2019
We bought this carseat because of the multiple layers of protection. The clicktight feature is really nice and helps me know when the carseat is tight enough. The carseat feels very sturdy and it easily fits in our car, forward facing or rear facing.

Great with 1 Flaw
July 7, 2019
I have 3 of these chairs and another Marathon. They are incredibly well made and very sturdy. This feels like a very safe and well manufactured product. There is one flaw that I've see in all four chairs: on occasion one of the shoulder straps tightens more than the other. Even after fully extending them to "reset" the straps and then trying to tighten them again, the imbalance remains. Your choice is to have one side super tight or else the child doesn't feel secure. I thought this was only one of my chairs, but the same issue has happened with all four. You have to hold the strap that tights quicker and pull that back while trying to tighten at the same time.

Great seat not so great fastening system
June 19, 2019
The seat itself is wonderfully put together however the fastening system seemed like an afterthought at least in my vehicles, it’s definitely a seat you want to install only once or twice in a vehicle and I returned my purchase for this reason.

EASY Install & Looks Great!
June 4, 2019
I just installed this car seat in my 2013 Honda Accord in the middle seat, and it was so EASY! The ClickTight technology is awesome; I know my the car seat AND my 14mo son is properly/tightly installed with the clicking sound of the seat. I was also amazed at the extra room front-to-back so that the car seat does not touch my two front seats. I love the look and the fact that I can wash AND dry the cover. We're loving this seat!

Worth every penny!
April 4, 2019
We have had our seat for 4 years. It has served us well and looks great... once I wash all the kid grime off ;). If you wash the covers gently and mostly air dry them they will last and look great. Only now on year four am I starting to notice the fabric showing some wear where my son slides across the arm rests. We are so satisfied that we are getting another for my daughter. Yes the seat is heavy and so it makes transferring it not super easy. However it's heavy for a reason!! Safety!!! I don't mind the workout because I know my kids are safe in those seats!

Love this seat!
April 3, 2019
I love this car seat! It is heavy and big, so that might be problematic for some, but it fits in my vehicle just fine. It is sturdy and made with quality materials. My daughter also seems to like it. I have used lots of car seats over the years (4 kids), and this is by far a favorite. I love the clicktight install, it literally takes seconds. I originally purchased this seat just for the install so it would be easy for my parents to use and it is. They have the boulevard in their car and it is just as nice. Honestly, I was going to purchase another Boulevard, but was able to get the advocate for less money and space isn't an issue.
Pros
  • Easy to install and use
  • Quality Materials
  • Looks nice
  • Comfortable
  • Easy to clean (hand wash only)

Great car seat for a great price!
March 3, 2019
This car seat is exactly as described and was a great price through Albee Baby. It is a monstrosity but most of the reviews had mentioned this prior to ordering it. We were looking for a super safe option and this car seat was rated at the level we were looking for, so we can deal with the overall size and weight. We also wanted the ease of installation which I’ve never installed a car seat as quickly as I installed this one! My 15 month old seems to be very comfortable in it as well. The only thing I would say is if you travel a lot and need to haul a car seat along with you; this would not be the seat to drag through the airport!
Pros
  • Super safe
  • Comfortable
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Heavy
  • Large seat

If you want the best... this is it!

The Britax Advocate Clicktight Convertible Car Seat offers top notch safety standards. Tripple side impact protection along side user friendly features. Although we have been long time Britax fans, the new click tight offered an amazingly easy installation. It was easy and super snug. I feel more safe with this click tight installation than I have with our previous Britax convertible car seat that I was sitting on top off and trying to tighten to the best of my ability. THIS WAS SO EASY! The Otto Safe Wash is equally amazing. Easy off and on without taking the car seat out of the car and the fabric is machine washible and dryer safe. It doesn't get any better than this. Because our peanut is 16 months, but only 20lbs, we also purchased the anti roll bar to keep the seat in the rear facing position for as long as possible, the safest way possible. It truly doesn't get any better than this car seat! I was hesitant and I am so glad I pulled the trigger on this. I purchased this through Albee Baby, as a first time customer, because it was the BEST price offered online! I could not be more satisfied with this purchase all around!

Not for tall babies/toddlers.
January 5, 2019
We loved this car seat a lot. The only con seemed to be that it was wide, so if you needed multiples across the back seat, it might not work. The 3 star rating is because my son outgrew both the rear and forward facing hight by the time he was 16 months old. If we hadn't liked it so much before he outgrew it, the short amount of time it was appropriate would have warranted a 1 or 2 star rating. Neither my husband or are are particularly tall, and when we bought this seat my son was below the 50th percentile for weight.

We have 3 Advocates for our children. Our five year old fits perfectly in his and it supports him perfectly. Our two year old is rear facing in hers. Features we love: click tight, adjustable height without rethreading the straps, ease of washing the covers and getting them back on properly, and latch install.

Thank you for saving my daughter
September 16, 2018
We are about to move up to the next stage, and thus writing to thank the designers and makers of Britax Advocate for saving my daughter's life. Throughout the car seat's almost 5 years of service with us, it had been in 2 accidents, one of which was rather severe and the mini-van was totaled. My daughter has been saved, both time, thanks largely to the excellent design of the car seat. Buying this car seat is among the best investments we have done. Thank you.

Comparing Advocate with Maxi Cosi Pria 85
August 9, 2018
Overall I'm happy with this car seat. The main reason is because the advocate style has extra side protection. Since I've installed it on a side seat, not in the middle of back seat, I wanted this one. So for safety I feel it's the best out there! Easy install once you get it figured out. I used the latch system to install it. Installed with seatbelt too to compare but the seat belt strap is somewhat in the way when you load your baby into the seat as it sticks out a little. I liked the latch better because it's latched below so no seatbelt strap is sticking out at all. Basically when it sticks out I mean baby's legs can brush against it when getting them in car. Once in car seat seatbelt is not touching the baby. But for convienience of baby in and out, I did latch instead of seatbelt strap install and works great, it doesn't move an itch either way installing. Tightly secured! Had fire dept help with install first time. I also have the maxi cosi pria 85 in my husbands car. Comparing the 2, for install ease I like the britex better. For baby comfort, I like the pria 85 better because it is a lot more roomy and spacious when baby in it. But it's rated for 85lbs and britex is 65 lbs. Install on maxi cosi pria is more difficult to get tight fit though. My husband had to put a lot of weight on it to get it to tighten. For me, I wanted easy install in case I had to move it in and out sometime. So for safety and easy install I picked britex. But love the pria 85 in my husbands truck for long road trips as it's more comfy for my daughter who is 1. So if you get 2 car seats I like having these 2 for different reasons. Hope that helps someone. Britex for safety side impact and easy install. I also like the ease of tightening the straps on baby. Glides easier than pria 85 does when baby is in seat. Maxi cosi pria 85 for soft fabric and cozy for long trips!
Pros
  • Easy install
  • Straps tighten easy on baby
  • Snug install fit
  • Side impact
Best Uses
  • Every day use
Cons
  • Not as roomy as maxi cosi pria 85

Design Needs Improvement
July 17, 2018
We are big on car seat safety. I did hours upon hours of research before purchasing the Britax Clicktight Advocate. We have 3 kids so we purchased 3 of the same seats for them. The seats are super easy to install! East to adjust the headrest height as they grow. However I feel that the design needs some improvement. A big thing being that the cover does not stay on around the edges. My 3 and 4 year olds climb in and out of their seats on their own- then I strap them. The cover is always popping off around the edges at the top of the seat/headrest. On my 4 year old's seat the foam on the headrest has broken apart from the headrest. We have had these seats for about 15 months! For the money spent on each seat I don't feel that they should be breaking and coming apart from every day wear and tear so soon. Not impressed.

Great Car seat
July 14, 2018
This has been a great buy for our son. He enjoys being in the car way more when we switched him to this car seat. Seems to be more comfortable for him. It’s is easy to get in and out of different vehicles when we need to. I took it with us on our flight and had it checked and it did great. I did purchase the britax bag.
Pros
  • Easy insert

Easy to Install
June 13, 2018
We purchased this seat Oct 2015 when our girl was 7 months old. She's still rear facing at 3 years 3 months old, and should be able to continue rear facing for a while as she is around 35 lbs. This seat is easy to install, easy to clean, and overall has been a fantastic seat. We are about to purchase seat #2 for baby #2, and plan on purchasing the same seat. The only complaint we would have is after almost 3 years, it no longer "clicks", but at this point, we feel pretty confident that we are tightening the belts as needed for safety.

This car seat is huge and heavy, but gives the sense that my child will be well-protected in the event of a car crash. Seat cushions are soft and it is easy to get child in and out...plus the click tight helps tell when she is strapped in tight enough.

We've had this carseat since our son was 6 months old and he's 2 now and we still have him rear facing. He still fits perfectly and he's 28lbs, 36 inches, and shoulder height is 14in. He's very comfortable and doesn't mind sitting in it. The sturdy construction and heavyweight definitely reflects the strong and safe design and I don't have to worry at all knowing my son is in the safest car seat. The anti roll bar is an extra piece of mind. I definitely recommend this car seat specifically.

We bought this after my daughter grew out of her britax bsafe 35 elite (after loving that seat) and we couldn't be more happy with it! There is no price on safety and comfort and britax knows how to do both! The ease of install with the click tight system puts every other car seat brand to shame, not to mention the comfort level! I will never buy another brand of car seats. Britax's click tight ease of install, comfort, and safety standards make buying their brand a no brainer! Love britax!

Great carseat!
April 16, 2018
I purchased this carseat for my 13 month old son, as he was getting too big for his infant carseat. He loves sitting more upright, seems comfortable, and it does not pinch his legs as some reviews stated (guess it just depends on the child). The side impact protection is very thick and I have no doubt that it would keep him extremely safe in an accident. The carseat is super heavy, but I honestly don't mind because to me it seems much safer than a lightweight carseat would. Overall, very happy with my purchase! Thanks!
