Web ID: 9597492Love ClickTight car seats!
The car set has a great look and feel. We were worried about the light color, but we have not had any issues with stains, and our child is very messy. This car seat along with all of Britax ClickTight car seats are incredibly easy to install. The recline function and ClickTight release function of this car seat are not as easy as the Britax One4Life version, but still very functional. The wide seat of the car seat is excellent. Our child has plenty of space for all of their toys and snacks. We wish it had cup holders, but the extra seat space makes up for that. One thing that we have found easier to use on the Advocate vs the One4Life is the child restraints. The buckle is easier to use, the angle is better. And the shoulder straps have extra rubber that keep them more ridged, which also helps with getting arms in and out of the car seat. I think the best aspect of the ClickTight car seats is how easy it is to install the car seat. We have to move our car seats between cars, and this feature make it much easier and faster to move around between cars. We recommend the Britax ClickTight products to EVERYONE! Definitely not the cheapest, but the best products in our mind. We always want to make sure we have really safe products for our little family members, but the convenience factors are what sold us. We received the Advocate product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Could be better
This is my review of the Britax Clicktight Convertible car seat. I was given this convertible car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. So right out of the box, the car seat is pretty attractive with nice quality fabric and the added bonus that the seat has no added flame-retardant chemicals! Very nice feature. Didn't like that this car seat is on the heavier side, having an alloy steel frame, it was hard for me to handle and just really bulky. Installation for my husband was fairly easy. I did not observe the install, however, he says it took less than 10 minutes total and the clicktight mechanism is a really nice feature and super easy to use. I have used this car seat for about 2 weeks and haven't had any major issues. I thought it was pretty easy to strap my child in. Unfortunately, I have recently noticed that one of the straps always tend to be looser than the other one, no matter how much I try to adjust them. Along with the chest clip are these rubber pieces that sits underneath the comfort pads. These rubber pieces were noticeably hot to the touch so that is a bit concerning to me in that they would be resting on my child's chest. The fabric of car seats tend to get warm due to the weather as well, but that's okay. The pads were literally hot, so I'd prefer not to use them, at least during the summer. They are removable thankfully. I appreciate that the harness release button is easily assessable front and center, but hidden enough that my child can't get to it. Observing my daughter during our travels, she seems pretty comfortable. The biggest negative for me is that there is no cup holder included with the car seat! For the price point of this car seat, I'm not sure why Britax doesn't incorporate a holder into this particular model. However, you can purchase a cup holder separately if you're willing to spend the money. My 2 year old almost always has a sippy cup with her and I would assume most children do. Having nothing to store the cup in was quite inconvenient. She's used to having the storage avaliable, so there was a lot of cup dropping, followed by bouts of whining and crying because she couldn't get to it. Once she understood what would happen if she let it go, she just held her cup or it would be tucked in-between her body and the seat. This action caused some leaking and wet clothing on multiple occasions. Overall, I think the car seat is pretty sturdy, made with high quality, and top notch in industry standards, which is most important when it comes to the safety of your children. However, being at a higher price point, I believe it should have all the bells and whistles included. Personally, there were just a few too many "minor" details that would prevent me from being completely satisfied with this product. I would most likely return it and go with a different brand based off me and my child's needs.

Easy install, reliable, and perfect for your little rider!
I am writing a review on behalf of Stellar Product Testing Panel. This Brittax Clicktight Convertible Car seat is not only a five star for functionality, but for installation! This is so easy to install for both rear and front facing children. I love the clicktight feature that allows you to get under the car seat in a much quicker and easier fashion. This material is easy to clean, and the rubber chest piece helps the straps to stay in place. I would definitely recommend this car seat to all parents looking for a safe, reliable car seat!

Safe and Comfortable Car Seat
This Car Seat is an easy to install, and sharp looking child safety seat that fits the bill! Most importantly for our family it has the safety we require in hauling around our child. While we have recently received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, it appears to have durability necessary to grow with our child. The seat is easy enough to clean that is can serve as an every day car seat and easy to install/uninstall if you remove the seat frequently. We received the Purple Ombre color which was a sharp look and provided a touch of color while staying neutral enough.

Easiest install!
Please note I am not a CPST, but I am passionate about car seats and making sure my kids are safe in the car. I hope my review can help you make an informed decision if this car seat is a good fit for your family. My daughter is almost 3, 33 pounds, and 37 inches tall. She is still rear-facing so I only installed rear-facing PROS: *This car seat is so easy to install with a seatbelt (in rear-facing mode). Just open the seat, thread the belt, and snap the seat closed. Way easier than any other car seat we’ve owned! *Beautiful seat! - we have the green ombre and it is gorgeous! Perfect for my daughter, but also can use it for my son when he switches to a convertible seat. *The fabric is very nice! It feels more “luxury”. We have not spilled on it yet though so I’m not sure how it will clean up. *When tightening the harness, it makes an audible “click” sound when it is tightened enough! I didn’t trust it at first, so I always did the pinch test as well, but it never had any slack! CONS: *Price - it's on the spendy side of car seats (especially since it doesn’t transition into a high back booster) *Wide - spacious for the child, but will not be good if you're trying to fit 3 across in your vehicle *No cup holders *The harness straps have a protector on them which is great for keeping them from getting twisted, BUT when harnessing a smaller child they easily get in the way. They could be removed but from reading the instructions it looks a little difficult to do. Overall, we LOVE the Britax Advocate ClickTight Convertible Car Seat. This car seat is well-made and sturdy. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this seat to test and review!

Safe and reliable car seat
I was given this convertible car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I received the gray ombré color scheme which I absolutely love the look of and that it's very gender neutral. The only thing I didn't like is the weight and bulk of this seat but I understand it's for good reason and it has a sturdy steel frame technology so the added safety makes the bulkiness more worth the added hassle of moving the seat. I did have to read the manual to figure out how to adjust the straps and move the latch but once I figured it out I was impressed with how innovative the seat is. It has 14 different positions to accommodate a growing baby which is nice. The cover is removable and washable which is important to me when it comes to kids and messes. It has a 10 year expiration which is great because it should last all through my babies life given no accidents are to occur. Overall I was highly pleased and very impressed out of all the car seats I've tried over the years this one is at the top. Thanks to Stellar Panel for allowing me to try this car seat out.

Best Car Seat Available
I was given this convertible car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This is such an amazing car seat and I don’t know where to begin! The Britax Advocate ClickTight Convertible Car Seat is so easy to install there’s no way to make a mistake. The bottom of the seat opens up for you to easily belt it in and then does exactly what it says, it clicks tightly to make sure your little one is secure. This is by far my favorite feature. No more pushing and shoving a seatbelt through a tiny opening! The fabric is very plush and soft and feels so comfortable. The color scheme is absolutely beautiful. My son loves his new car seat I have no issues buckling him into this one. I feel that he’s very comfortable in this seat and I feel better knowing how safe and secure he is.

Great car seat, high quality!
I recieved this product from the Stellar Product Testing panel and upon taking the Britax Advocate ClickTight Convertible Car Seat out of the box I immediately was impressed by the quality of the carseat and softness of the fabric. Even though my baby cannot talk, she seemed to love it as well! The click tight system makes installing and uninstalling this carseat a breeze! I've often struggled installing car seats in the past but this system takes out the guess work. The clicktight is easily my favorite part of this car seat. Another added benefit of this car seat is that there are no added flame retardant chemicals which is a HUGE factor for us.
