Awesome seat and deal!
February 12, 2014
This is an awesome deal on one of britax's best seats! This model is retired but you can still register it and order parts for it. Easy to install and baby loves it. Sits more upright than infant seat so putting baby in seat is a bit different but not difficult. Seat was delivered quickly with no issues! Thanks albee baby!

Great Seat!
December 9, 2014
I've used this seat for over a year and it's still a great seat. I love the fabric colors of the serene and wish they'd make more seats with soft and gorgeous blues like this one. The click and safe snug harness is a wonderful feature and I really feel my child is safe in all of the Britax seats. I love how easy it is to take the cover off to wash without taking apart the seat to do it.
Pros
  • Built in lock offs for seat belt installation keep a nice snug and secure installation if you don't use the latch system
  • 70 lbs weight limit and rear facing to 40 lbs
  • Easy to remove and wash seat cover
  • Click and safe snug harness lets you know how tight to keep the harness straps
  • Tons of integrated safety features
Cons
  • The tangle free harness is my only complaint....the straps get all twisted up somehow so I have to untwist them when putting my child in.

Safe!!!
April 22, 2014
My husband is a Paramedic so safety was a huge concern when choosing a seat. We really like that it clicks to tell us it is tight enough and seems to protect our daughter well. We tried to use it rear facing but it didn't work well in our vehicles because of the top tether. We bought three of these so we wouldn't have to move them back in forth and will probably by three more for when my son outgrows his carrier seat.
Pros
  • Safe
  • Click to tighten
Cons
  • Big, Bulky, Heavy

LOVE This carseat!

This is our second Britax carseat. I have researched and asked several other mommies and they all recommend Britax! Love the colors, and the soft feel of the carseat. It is sturdy and durable. It fits fine in my small SUV, (if you're worried about the size).

Great car seat - so it's last year's model. Same great features as the other Advocate we purchased for nearly $400 for our other car.

Much sturdier than our previous Graco car seat and our son loves it so much more! I also love the many different options on attaching it and altering the seat to fit our son.

It is a tad heavy to move from car to car but it's not hard to install and has great safety ratings

Cons
  • Bulky

if you drive an open air auto (convertable or Jeep Wrangler) this is the bestest safest seat on the planet!

the box is HUGE so it would have to be a ship to home thing! the car seat was a DREAM to put together cause it was all set to go from the box! install was a bit of an issue since it was going into a 2000 Jeep Wrangler and well Jeep Wranglers in 2000 were not so equipped for such an advanced car seat. After the police station couldn't assist me with the install the Jeep dealership sent a customer care rep to my HOME who quickly installed it .... and showed me how to adjust things with both seat and the jeep. So keep that in mind with installing ANY car seat ... dealerships pay a few employees to have such knowledge to assist us. Now that the top is off this car seat has been totally the best investment for my child safety and comfort! no question there.
Pros
  • what I LOVE is the safety features. the color is wonderful for being in direct sunlight the sides are so very protective that even with powerful winds (highway driving) the baby just nestles back and giggles! LOVE this seat. I also own the Britax Boulevard 70, for my other vehicle and it too is an excellent seat ~ posted a picture of the fun cowmooflauge (spelling) pattern
Cons
  • NOT A DARN THING!

Great car seat
April 23, 2012
We love this car seat! It is very easy to install and extremely comfortable. The colors are beautiful too! It is very large, but worth it if your car has the space. The safety reviews are wonderful. We also love the "Click and Safe" feature. It clicks when the straps have been pulled tight enough to ensure a proper fit on baby.
Pros
  • Easy to install, well padded for comfort, beautiful colors, excellent safety features

I love this car seat!

I purchased this car seat for my 19 month old daughter after much research online. I do feel this is a very safe car seat, and she will be able to grow with it. I also believe Britax has truly added great safety features that no other car seat offers. It was fairly easy to install in my Ford Taurus. I did watch the insatallation videos Britax has on their website, as well as read the manual. I did find that I needed to use the tether strap to get a secure fit. I installed it rear facing, and used all three methods for securing it: latch, lock off with seat belt, and the tether. I think it is very comfortable for her, and I love the design. I think it will be even better when it can be forward facing, as she will have more leg room. I was very pleased with the price I bought it at from Allbeebaby, and it arrived within days. Very happy customer, and I would recommend this seat and Allbeebaby to others. Make sure you read the manual and watch videos to get this seat installed correctly and so you are using it right. It is a big seat, but fits fine in my car.
Pros
  • Rated the best for safety
  • Comfortable
  • Attractive Design

Worth the Investment x 2!

I researched which car seat to purchase for our 10 month old twins for several months and kept returning to the Britax line of car seats, specifically the Advocate 70 CS because of its side impact technology, extensive safety features and use up to 70lbs. The Britax website had videos to watch about the safety of their seats, the testing the seats undergo and the quality of materials and care that is utilized in their manufacturing. Granted, the price tag is not small, but the seat can be used for several years and fabric is easily replaced if it becomes soiled or damaged over time. The seat is large so it may fit better in bigger vehicles. I liked the recline options and the padding is very comfortable for the child. The harness is easy to operate and the "click safe" feature is nice because it gives an audible click when the harness reaches appropriate snugness. I chose the Serene (aqua blue/tan) color because it was the lightest color option available. We live in a hot climate and the inside of the car is like an oven, darker fabrics become very hot. I really like the Serene, it is slighter darker than it appears in the manufacturers photo, regardless it is very nice looking. Overall, I have no complaints about the seat, and the kids seem to be very happy with it as well!
Pros
  • Safety
  • Comfort
  • Quality of Fabric and Manufacturing
