BebePaluzza Britax Advocate 70 CS Video

I’m here today at the BebePaluzza show in Schaumbug/Chicago, Illinois.  Britax and Harmony appear to be the only child safety seat manufacturers represented at the show, but it did offer me a chance to see the new Advocate 70 CS.  On the original Advocate CS, the unique side impact cushions made access to the seatbelt lockoffs and the harness adjuster somewhat difficult.  In the new one, there is no problem as the adjuster and lockoffs have moved to the front of the seat and are permanentley attached with no bungee cords.  Very nice!

I’ll also be uploading some photos  and other comments on this thread at Car-Seat.Org, so stay tuned!

Here’s a video of the Advocate, I hope the audio is OK, I got in just before the crowds but it got pretty loud pretty quickly!

HELP:

I read reviews on the “CS” people having a hard time with the harness and “tugging” issues. With the NEW improvement have you had a problem with the “CS issues”.

I have been going back & fourth for WEEKS on just WICH Britax Carseat to get for my 13 month old son =)

Hi Carissa, I know Britax has made running changes to the Click and Safe feature. I don’t know how much of a difference these changes made. In general, it is definitely a feature of personal preference. I have clients who love the feature for themselves and especially for relatives, nannies and caregivers. I know a number of technicians don’t like it, because they are experienced enough to get a good fit with less effort without the click and safe feature. My wife found it was simply too hard to pull for her, though that was with one of the very first models that had the feature. I find that it doesn’t always result in an ideal fit when it first clicks. The simple resolution to that issue is to keep pulling after the click, or to repeat the process. It’s definitely something you should try in the store with your child in the seat, or if you order one, make sure it has a good return policy! If you order from Amazon, please consider using a link from CarseatBlog to support our website;-) They offer free returns on many products, but you need to verify to make sure of the details.
