I currently have two Britax Advocate CS seats in my car. The majority of the time I have my twin 21 month-old godchildren riding (rear facing of course! )in them. I have had these seats for about 4 months. Recently I have had a horrible time getting the harness tightened. I posted in another forum about this problem. The Click and Safe feature is useless; it clicks way before the harness is even remotely snug. My stepdaughter has had the same problem with her son's seat. There have been times that I have fought with it for 10 minutes or more trying to get it snug enough. I read some suggestions in those other posts and so far, nothing is working. I love these seats otherwise. I read one poster's comment who said that after calling Britax, they had offered to send a new seat. If it comes down this for me, I have considered getting new seats. I really like the Radian XTSL. This is where my dilemma comes in. Since I also babysit my two stepdaughter's children on occassion, (a 19 month old, and 8 month-old twins.) I really appreciated the ease of adjusting the headrest and harness height on the Advocate without rethreading the straps. If I wind up with the Radians, then I will have to rethread the harness straps each time I have a different baby in there. I also thought about the True Fit since they are no thread harnesses, but was wondering how easy they are to install? Or should I just see if Britax will replace the two seats I have and hope that they don't have the same problem?
