New Britax car seat!!!!!!

Awesomesauce!!!! (Lol totally didn't see your "awesomesauce")

Gotta link to any info on it? I know so many britax fans so I'm happy that they'll have a good option for erf now!

I want the boulevard. I WILL have the Kaleidoscope boulevard.

????

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.

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

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.

I only buy britax. LOVE them.

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!

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.

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.

Oh that's awesome. Am I able to get it in Canada? Do you have a link?

Yes Britax says they will be released in Canada in Nov. Link is a couple comments down.

Ok awesome thanks!

I love the green one! I'm so excited. Baby boy is going to be in a car seat for a long time. Haha.

Would love a link too first time mom heard a lot of good stuff about them but the only convertible I could find online was graco and I've been hearing iffy reviews on them lately

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.

Oh just saw link in comments awesome

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Hey squishy have you heard anything about the graco all in one car seat that goes from infant to booster??

The 4ever? It's a great seat!

It says 28 inches is that height limit sitting? Like butt to head ?

Yes that would be the torso height

Do you know when we will be able to buy it?

I don't. But I would guess next month.

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?

@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

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

@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.
