New questions abt britax and my van 1995 Ford Aerostar

I went to Walmart and Target today and saw MR65. I'm not impressed with the seat, seems like the quality of seat cover is flimsy. I have decided to stick with Britax because I used to have MA for Sarah, loved it. Sold it because we needed the money. Now, we are able to afford the Britax seat again. I'm happy! But that comes with some questions I have..

1- I saw the blog about BLVD and Advocate, I see that they both are lots similar but with Advocate, with additional side impact cushion. Which one would be better for 1995 Ford Aerostar with captain seats behind driver/passenger seat in front? (I'm putting a seat behind the driver's seat)

2-Will Britax seats work in 1995 Ford Aerostar?

3-Is there any other seats that have high quality seat covers like Britax seats?
4-I see that Advocate has some disadvantages on crotch straps. What do you think?

Now with all those 4 questions-

Which britax seats am I better off with? Sorry for confusing questions.
Thanks,
Amy

Yes, Britax seats work fine in that vehicle. I'd get a Marathon or Boulevard because I don't think the Advocate is worth the extra $$.

Then I would go with a Marathon or Boulevard, since the lockoffs will come in very handy with this vehicle :)

Our '95 Mercury Villager had locking seatbelts (manual at the shoulder belt)...does the Aerostar not have them?

I've never had a problem installing our Britax seats in any of the older Ford and Mercury vehicles in our family (Explorer, Xplorer Sport, Villager, Mountaineer, Focus, and Windstar).

GL!
