Can't go wrong with Britax
January 15, 2020
We purchased this seat for our youngest after he outgrew his infant seat by 9 months. We already have 2 Britax Boulevards for our older 2 kids in our van so we new we wanted another Britax. This time we went with the Advocate and decided to try the clicktight feature. We also purchased an anti rebound bar for rear facing, which I highly recommend. I have mixed feelings about the clicktight feature. You have to get the slack on the seatbelt just right. If it's too tight the seat won't lock in place or if it does the seat will start to tilt to the side. If it's too loose the seat won't be secure and will wobble. The latch system may be "more difficult", but I trust the installation a lot more. I also find it quicker to install with latches because I'm not having to repeatedly readjust the seatbelt. The seat itself is heavy which is why you buy britax to begin with. The padding is comfortable, but the cover is such a pain to take off. I've also found with all of my Britax seats the cover around the headrest doesn't stay on the seat and that's what helps keep the styrofoam secure and in place on the headrest. Aside from any flaws I would definitely purchase any Britax seat again, but I would probably not buy a clicktight again.
ProsSafe, safe, safe. Steel reinforced frame, comfortable
ConsDon't trust the click tight feature, hard to take off the cover to clean it, cover around headrest doesn't stay in place.
Best UsesExtended rear facing (purchase the anti rebound bar). Car's with a lot of interior space.
