"Designed for kids . . . engineered for parents."
The Britax Advocate CS (the CS stands for Click & Safe) features revolutionary Side Impact air cushions. Britax designed the cushions to manage the crash forces by compressing upon impact while safely expelling air through strategically positioned vents. The air cushions both add protection to the Advocate CS passenger and for others who may be riding along next to the Advocate. The Click & Safe harness prevents one of the most common car seat misuses: inadequately tightened harness straps. With Britax CS technology, you pull until you hear two clicks; the clicks let you know that the straps are just right.
Standout Features:
- Side Impact air cushions
- Click & Safe harness clicks twice when the harness straps are at the proper tightness
- True Side Impact Protection
- For children rear facing from 5 to 35 lbs and forward-facing from at least one-year-old and 20 lbs up to 65 lbs
- 5-point harness
- LATCH connectors
- Adjustable head-rest
- No thread harness adjuster
Benefits for You: The Britax Advocate CS installs easily using either seat belts or LATCH. Adjust the seat with little effort thanks to the head-rest adjustment knob, which raises and lowers the headrest and harness straps so you don't have to reinstall the car seat to adjust the harness strap height.
Convenient belt holders keep the harness straps to the sides while placing your child in the car seat. The plush, washable cover makes clean-up a snap.
Installation: Install the Advocate rear facing from 5 to 35 lbs and forward facing from at least one-year-old and 20 lbs up to 65 lbs. When placing your child in the car seat, pull the harness until your hear two clicks. The clicks let you know that the harness is tight enough to prevent your child from sustaining serious injury in the event of an impact.
The Britax Advocate CS offers built-in lock-offs for secure 'no locking clip' seat belt installation. A push button release LATCH system with Versa-Tether ensures an easy installation with a secure fit. The Advocate CS is also one of few car seats that allow rear-facing tether use to ensure a more secure installation and proper angle when installed with LATCH or car seat belts.
Benefits for Baby: A plush cover provides a soft-feel. The patented HUGS system better distributes webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize the chance for webbing edge loading on the child's neck in the case of an impact. The Side Impact Protection wings not only protect in collisions, they also provide support for baby's head when they nod off to sleep. The rear-and-forward-facing recline provides child comfort and the body pillow helps to better position infants.
Safety:
- True Side Impact Protection
- 5-point Harness
- Click & Safe system ensures proper harness tension
- Rear-facing tether use
- Meets or exceeds FMVSS 213
- Side Impact air cushions
Comparison: Need a car seat but maybe not the air cushions? The Britax Boulevard CS is just like the Advocate CS, only without air cushions. Feel confident with your harness tightening skills? The original Britax Boulevard is just like the Boulevard CS, only without Click&Safe technology (and it's a few bucks less expensive, too).
