BRITAX 360 Degree Protection
The BRITAX ADVOCATE 70 CS features technologies that work to minimize injury to your child during a crash from any direction, including both frontal and side impact crashes - the most frequent types of crashes. These technologies work together with other features on the car seat to minimize injury to your child during a crash by:

  • keeping your child in the vehicle,
  • diverting crash forces away from your child,
  • helping to slow down your child's body,
  • minimizing movement of your child, and
  • protecting your child's brain and spinal cord.
SafeCell Technology for Advanced Head Safety
Designed with SafeCell Technology, the ADVOCATE 70 CS features SafeCells, which are engineered structures located in the base of the seat designed to compress in the event of a crash. This compression significantly lowers the center of gravity and counteracts the forward rotation of the car seat, delivering unprecedented performance in a crash.

The ADVOCATE 70 CS also features integrated steel bars, which strengthen the connection to the vehicle seat and reduce the forward flexing of the car seat. In addition, the energy-absorbing Versa-Tether anchors the top of the car seat and minimizes forward rotation of the car seat to reduce the crash forces that can reach your child if an accident occurs. These three features work together as a system to provide revolutionary head safety protection for your child.

Side Impact Cushion Technology for Advanced Security
Offering both Side Impact Cushion Technology and True Side Impact Protection, the ADVOCATE 70 CS delivers superior protection if you happen to face an unexpected side-impact crash. Side Impact Cushion Technology is comprised of energy-absorbing cushions on either side of the child seat that reduce side-impact crash energy by 45% by diverting crash forces away from your child and providing extra protection for the adjacent passenger. The side-impact cushions are designed to compress during a side-impact crash, transferring crash energy away from the seat before it reaches your child. The ADVOCATE 70 CS then uses True Side Impact Protection to keep your child's head, neck, and spine properly aligned to limit injury during impact.

Click & Safe Technology for the Safest Fit
When it comes to children's safety in the car, it's vital that they are properly secured, because loose harness straps can leave them vulnerable to injury during a crash. The ADVOCATE 70 CS assists in the process of securing your child with the Click & Safe Snug Harness Indicator feature, which provides an audible sound when you are tightening the harness to indicate when it is in the range of appropriate snugness.

Premium Fit and Comfort Features
Whether children are watching the world go by or snuggling in for a nap, they'll enjoy that the ADVOCATE 70 CS reclines in both the forward and rear positions. And thanks to additional features, which include high-density comfort foam and a plush cover set with a matching belly pad, they'll always ride in style and comfort. A 70-pound weight capacity, two buckle positions, and a tangle-free five-point harness with ten harness height settings provide a snug, custom fit for your growing child. Plus, an optional Infant Positioning Insert (sold separately) allows you to properly and securely fit smaller infants into the car seat.

Ease-of-Use for Safety and Convenience
Packed with perks for parents, the ADVOCATE 70 CS makes it easy to secure your child in the proper position without the guesswork. Premium lower LATCH connectors make for a quick, simple, and tight installation, while the push-button allows you to easily uninstall the connectors. Easy-to-access built-in lock-offs allow you to install the car seat with ease using your vehicle's lap and shoulder belt. The quick-adjust harness system and buckle allow you to reposition the harness height without disassembling the harness straps.

Additionally, an anti-slip contoured base grips and protects the vehicle seat, ensuring a tight installation in all types of vehicles. Convenient holders keep harness straps out of the way when you're placing your child in the seat, and the plush covert set with matching pads removes easily for cleaning without requiring you to disassemble or uninstall the car seat.

The BRITAX ADVOCATE 70 CS Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great seat, Horrible Quality Issue!!, January 3, 2012
By 
David Carrico (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
My wife and I bought this seat after extensive research/selection process. We made the decision to buy the Advocate 70CS after concluding it had the best safety ratings, irrespective of price.

We installed it in our Honda CR-V using latch system, all appeared well (although it was slightly slanted to one side, we couldnt seem to get it straight).

This week (after nearly one year of use) we were horrified to discover that the reason it was always slanted was because it was missing one of the two primary bolts used to fasten the restraint bar to the base (as a result, the latch system was completely compromised). When I removed the seat from the car, the latch belt simply fell off the chair! This means in an accident, our seat would not have been adequately restrained to the base. A few quick searches online showed several others had the same issue (missing parts). I called Britax, they are promptly shipping us a new car seat, no questions asked.

I will be writing a letter to the President of Britax with my concerns about this obscene lapse in quality control. That being said, I still have high confidence that Britax offers the best child car seat available, assuming it is properly configured/equipped. I URGE CURRENT OWNERS TO INSPECT THEIR SEATS, and for new owners to check the seat for missing parts prior to install.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the safest car seats out there!, November 30, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
After totalling my truck in January 2010 (one of the worst winters in Boston), I decided to do my research and upgrade the car seat that we had. Oh, our kid was luckily not in the truck at the time of the accident and fortunately there were no serious injuries either...

I did my research and found out that this is one THE BEST and safest car seats one can put their hands on. Unfortunately, this is also one of the most expensive car seats out there! I really do wish this car seat was cheaper especially since I had to buy two (one for each car!). I did search everywhere and ultimately this was the best price you can get at Two Hundred Seventy Four dollars and Ninety nine cents with Free shipping. I looked for over a few months!

As far as the product goes, you'll immediately understand why this seat is so great once you get it out of the box. You can adjust the straps without having to take your car seat out to change them in the back! It comes with side impacts to protect your childs head! The accident we were in, the truck fish tailed and hit an angle so this was a huge plus for me! The "Click and Safe" mechanism was a bit confusing to me at first but its just a clicking noise letting the parent know while shortening the seatbelt that the belt is now snug around their kid already seated in it and that the kid is safe now. Personally, I noticed that it was not accurate since sometimes the seatbelt gets caught by the velcro but it still thinks its snug. Needless to say I double check to make sure the seatbelt is no more than 2 fingers loose.

The Positive:
- Feels and looks very safe
- Very Sturdy
- Supports kids from 5 - 70 lbs which means you can use this for a LONG time (offsets the price a little since you don't need to upgrade it as often)
- Very comfortable, my child doesn't mind being seated in it! Actually tries to fasten the seatbelt too! The material is very soft...
- The cover comes off to be washed and put back
- Reclines
- Easily adjusts to the height of the kid
- Uses Safecell technology, looks and feels like styrofoam but this definitely helps absorb some of the shock in an accident.

The Negative:
- The Price!!!
- Can't change the recline once anchored in the car

Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, if you can afford it but I would buy it only when its on sale...

I should also mention this since I struggled with the reclining portion of this car seat. You should recline the seat to whatever angle you want it BEFORE you anchor the car seat into the car. Once anchored you will NOT be able to change the recline unless you remove the anchors first, I believe that was a safety feature since they don't want the seat to recline when in an accident may be? Anyways, at the end of the day, I feel better knowing that my child is very well protected in this car seat and thats all that matters...

A couple of links (1- Britax website with additional product description and features and 2- a youtube video which is a commercial of the Britax Advocate 70 cs) that may be helpful about this car seat (not sure if Amazon will delete them after I post but here they are anyways):

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Worth the Added Cost, December 4, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
For our first child, we've had at least six or so carseats so far, between our cars, Grandma's car, and just not liking some models. We now have two Britax Advocate 70 CS's and, if we could go back, would only have ever purchased these (once past the carrier stage). We looked at a number of different car seats and reviews when picking the various carseats - to be honest, all of the others were not cheap, but certainly lower priced than this carseat. The reason I originally purchased this model was because it was the only carseat that had a small enough base to fit in the back seat of my 2009 Challenger (there's not a lot of room there). I fell in love with it immediately, though.

The auto-click when the seat is tight enough is really great - always check to make sure, but it's always been right for me. Next, there's installation - some seats are a little easier to install with the "pistol-grip" clips that go right on. The Britax is a little more difficult to get around. However, ease-to-fit, the Britax is the best. What I mean by this is that, while installation is just a little bit harder than with some seats, the Britax easily gets to the correct tightness while we've had other seats that just always have seemed a little loose - not a feeling you want about a carseat.

The best part of the Britax is really the structure itself. My son got a little sick in the car once, which led to a quick rush home and throwing of the carseat out of my very-loved car, with my significantly-more-loved son being cleaned up and comforted at the same time. Once he was in new clothes and back to running around playing, I set to the chore of cleaning the seat - I was not looking forward to this. However, it turned out to be a very simply job and, after washing and soaping everything several times, I then became worried that everything might not go back to being as soft as it was. However, I was wrong - all the muck came out and all of the felt hung up and dried out just fine - word of warning, don't leave the manual in the carseat pocket while cleaning it... it leads to no longer having a manual (available online, though).

Really, the only downside to this carseat is the price, but, as I mentioned, it's well worth it.
