New Britax car seat!!!!!!

Maybe I'm the only one who really cares or who is literally dancing with delight. Britax released a new "game changer" convertible. And it is....just that. It's AMAZEBALLS!!!!!! I want it, I need it, I MUST have it! For many years I've wished Britax would get their head out of the sand and make ERF seats so I could tell people to buy them (their old convertibles kinda suck with regards to ERF). Sadly in 2010 they shortened the already short shell by another 2 inches! But it's all changed now. Thank you Britax. I love you. Big puffy heart, you are awesomesauce love you.

@amc, the height and weight is on the side. Money isn't an issue, I'd just like to have two, one for me and my fiancé's car. Not necessary but thought if I found out it was safe it would be nice to save the money.

I think all manuals are available online?

Anyway, update when you see this in person! I think I need a bigger vehicle with two huge rear facing convertibles coming my way next year. Lol

@kris a used carseat and you don't have the manual? I wouldn't use it. You want the correct manual for your seat at all time for specifics on height and weight limits, how to install, adjust things etc. I'd invest in a new seat you can get them pretty inexpensive if that's an issue

Kind of off topic but still relative - I was given a car seat by a trusted source, it's a Britax B-Safe 2012. (What it says on the bottom) I am a FTM and clueless, would this be okay starting out?

I haven't actually gotten my hands on one Clarem...I'm hoping they send one to MommyCon Memphis. To me they appear to be about as wide as the Chicco

This looks really comfy! Is it less bulky then the chicco convertible? I don't have any stores that carry any of the britax seats to compare.

Squids...they are pretty equal as far as rearfacjng height limits. They have the exact same rearfacing weight limit.

So is this better then graco?

Dd is going to outgrow this year and I want to get a new one, that will last as long as possible. She is 2 1/2 and weighs 30lbs already

I love Britax. I've always used their car seats. I'm glad they are finally Squishy approved.

It would depend on the child really. If the child is forward facing, no. There really is no point in buying a convertible for a child who is already forward facing and you should instead look at the combinations seat Frontier/Pinnacle. If the child is still rearfacing and has just hit the height limit of the previous seat....yes! It would be an excellent choice.

The marathon is a VERY different seat then the advocate and boulevard. The marathons headrest when in its top position is still encased within the shell of the seat. The advocates and boulevards rises above the top of the shell.

Yes, the top harness slot is 19.5 inches...which is only 1 inch less then it's big brother combination seat the frontier which is only 1 inch taller at 20.5. It will get pretty much every child harnessed until at LEAST 6. But probably closer to 8.

So this is for longer use of the car seat? I want the maxi cosi but I want one that I can't get a lot of use out of. Tho little man is still in his infant car seat.

I'm totally geeking with you Squishy!

Another parenting community I used to frequent LOVED britax seats & their loyalty wouldn't sway. I hated that they were so loved despite most of their kids having to be turned so early, some even before 2.

I'm so glad to hear that combined with their ease of use they'll have good erf options now. Yes! Yes! Yes!

I only buy britax. LOVE them.

There's a HUGE difference in the boulevard and the advocate. The marathon (new one) has a different install and slightly higher shell then the previous. The Boulevard and Advocate have reinforced headrest so the height limit has been extended. The g4's ( and previous models) are outgrown when the top of their head is 1 inch from the top of the shell. The new ones are outgrown when their head is 1 inch from the top of the headrest when full extended. It makes it equal with the Gracos for highest rearfacing height limit on the market.

Pp the way it installs is like nothing ever before. It's awesome

Woohoo!! This is a big deal for people who have tall, massive toddlers like mine. I'll look at the link when I have WiFi, but what is the weight restriction like? My son is 40lbs at 2 and a half.
