Britax Car Seat

[sfumo123]

I am in need of purchasing a new car seat for my 1 year old. I decided on a Britax, however I am not sure which would be best and the differences between the models. I am looking at at the Advocate 70CS, Boulevard 70/70cs and Marathon 70.

Can you please assist me with the main differences please?

Thanks so much

Welcome.

There is no Boulevard 70CS anymore. Now it's the Pavilion 70.

The Marathon is kind of the basic seat. The Boulevard is a Marathon with bigger headwings. The Pavilion is a Boulevard with Click N Safe (a feature most people find to be completely useless, so unless there's a cover you adore I'd save the money). The Advocate is a Pavilion with plastic airbags on the side.

That's it. They're all the same size and shape.

Just so you know, the rear facing height limit is 1" from the top of the shell, not the headrest when it's all the way out. So it gets most kids to about a 3T shirt rear facing. If you have a child who is longer in the torso than average these seats may not get you as long as you'd like rear facing.
