If you’ve been around this site for any amount of time, you know that I am all about saving money and making the money I do spend count. This is my rule when it comes to baby items too.
With two children, I’m no stranger to strollers and car seats. Until recently, we’ve had four different strollers serving different times and purposes, one infant car seat, and three convertible car seats. Like I said, I’ve had some experience with baby gear.
Nearly everything we’ve owned has been pretty mid-priced and supposedly mid-quality. But my feelings on all these pieces have been pretty negative. All the car seats and strollers have been basically functional, but often frustrating to use. (Not to mention the safety of some just didn’t seem quite right.) Just recently, I had decided that all car seats and strollers, regardless of price, must be the same- pretty dreadful. Something to endure while your children are young- and pray that it holds up that long!
So, needless to say, I was skeptical about the Britax Chaperone baby carrier and strollerthat arrived on my porch from Britax last week. I was hopeful that these items would work better, but definitely doubted.
Right from the start, I could see the Britax line was different than the other strollers and car seats we have owned. Both are obviously plusher and made of easier to clean materials (without the washing machine even!) than our past items. And each has a larger than usual canopy that blocks UV rays.
The car seat’s added safety features quickly caught my eye. The Chaperone baby carrier has “true side impact protection”, like the head restraint that’s lined in EPS foam. The seat also has an anti-rebound bar that I’ve never seen in another car seat. This bar helps protect against rotational forces in rear and front-end collisions. Other than all the added safety features(and there are loads!), the seat has a handy no-rethread harness adjuster. For this, my husband will be forever thankful. (If you’ve ever had a car seat that requires rethreading, you know what I mean!) Overall, this car seat is just plain higher quality, in my opinion. Something else of note- my five month old baby never used to sleep in the car. And it was absurd how much he disliked his former infant car seat. But for the past week, every time he goes riding in the Britax Chaperone infant carrier, he’s asleep within minutes. While I definitely can’t guarantee this will be the case for every baby, this carrier has worked like a charm for Jack!
The Chaperone stroller is of very similar quality, withboth the plush and easy-to-clean features. While it adapts to fit an infant car seat (Britax and other major brands) for young babies, my 2-year old daughter has had the luxury of riding in this stroller. She loves it and seems much more comfortablethan before during our outings. Plus, there’s plenty of under-the-seat storage, and the stroller is incrediblyeasy to steer. My favorite feature- you can fold this stroller up with just one hand. It’s a super easy folding system that I appreciate when I havemy hands full with children and diaper bags.
The Britax Chaperone line is a bit pricier than the car seats/strollers that I’m used to. But is the added cost worth it? In my opinion, absolutely. I’m sold. The top-of-the-line safety featuresand high quality make them worth the extra money. And, while I haven’t personally used the products for too long, I have a feeling these would hold up through the use of multiple children, giving you extra bang for your buck. (Doesn’t mean we’ll be putting that to the test though…)
Still wishing you could lower the cost of the Britax? You can! Now through December 31st, the company is offering a $100 rebate when you purchase both the Chaperone stroller and baby carrier. Click here for more details and the rebate form.

I like the extra side impact protection. With #2 on the way I am concerned that niether of my children will be seated in the safest spot in the middle of the back seat. Although I am completely happy with the carseats I have I am considering upgrading to seats with side impact protection.
I love all the safety features on this seat and love that you can recline in forward facing also. My sons head always goes forward when falling asleep.

I like that it has a Quick adjust head restraint. So it is easy to adjust the height when your kid gets taller or just has more clothes on.
My favorite feature is the “Convenient Harness Holders keep harness straps out of the way while placing child in the car seat”. SOO necessary in keeping both parent and child sane when there is so much in and out of the car seat these days!

I’m excited about the convertibility of the car seat from infant to toddler. We are expecting our first child and having one car seat that will last for a few years sounds great. Also the safety features of the car seat sound fantastic.
Besides all the great safety features, I like the harness holders to keep the straps out of the way while putting baby in.

I love the fact that this seat is good up to 65 lbs! We just discovered that the harness for our current car seat can only be used up to 40 lbs and then you have to switch to using the car seat belt. In my opinion, the seat belt is just too easy to move out of the correct/safe position making it less safe and reliable than a harness system.

I’ve enjoyed your blog for a while now – and I just subscribed! Thanks for all the time and energy you put into this site
There is nothing more frustrating with a carseat than having to rethread the harness straps- especially when you have other kids whining and it has taken you twice as long to rethread the straps than you thought it would. The fact that the ADVOCATE has front harness adjustments, a five point harness and a no re-thread feature is well worth it. What a TIME SAVING feature!
The side impact protection is very exciting (and the prospect of only have to buy one convertible car seat is too – I’m the proud mother of 9 month old twin girls)
LOVE the 65 pound limit!
Wow- the adjusting of the harness height without pulling everything out- sweet! And all that foam padding- my toddler just *might* go to sleep on long trips. Well, maybe…
I subscribe by e-mail.
I’m pleased with the higher weight limit – 65 versus the 40 that our current one has – so they can stay in it longer before going to a booster.

I love the higher weight limit on the Britax! Just can’t beat that!

The best feature, to me, is the true side impact protection AND the REAR and front facing recline ability…I have dreamed about a seat like that for my kids!!! Awesome!!!
what an awesome seat! as the mom of a 16 month old (still rear facing), I love that this seat doesn’t require rethreading of the harnesses when they’re adjusted to a new height. and the 65lb weight limit means we can use this seat for a long time! (my 8 year old doesn’t even weigh that yet!)
And I’m an email subscriber.

This is my favorite feature: “Small Contoured Base ensures a tight installation in all types of vehicles”. We have such a tough time getting our son’s seat secured tightly into the car, that this would be a dream!
I LOVE that it converts easily to a toddler seat and will hold up to 65 lbs which eliminates the need to buy multiple seats as the child grows.
I love the higher weight limit, it is quite difficult to find a 5 point harness for a child over 40 pounds!

ooh wow! I love britax car seats. We have an infant one now, but will need a new one soon! I love how this one has so much plush for extra comfort. The infant carrier we have now, doesn’t look so comfy, plus they get sweaty in them. This looks very comfortable, as I already know how safe they are!

“Convenient Harness Holders keep harness straps out of the way while placing child in the car seat” I definitely could use a little help while puting the kids in their car seats. So yes, this is the best part.
I love a lot of the Britax Advocate CS features, but the ones I’m probably most excited about are the harness holders.

I am most excited about the harness adjustment features. I’m a new Mom, and determining the appropriate snugness of my son’s harness is something I struggle with daily. My husband always thinks it’s too snug, and I always think it is too loose. Having a carseat that helps us decide that? Priceless!

I really like that this seat is for children up to 65 pounds. Talk about versatility! The saftety features are incredible. Is there anyway I could win 3 of these?
I also subscribe! I like the new name by the way.
I, also, enjoy seeing that it will be easier to install in different types of vehicles. We have a hard time trying to get the car seats firmly connected into our car. Not sure why! I’ll definitely feel better knowing this car seat will be secure!
The ‘Built in lockoffs’ seems to be the best new feature. In the carseat my other child has, its easy for her to move to the side and have the strap off one shoulder and against her neck. If she can’t move either side, there will be less squirming and crying! that’d be great!!
I love the harness and the weight limit! I am due with baby #2 in 5 weeks and 6 days (not that I’m counting down).
Baby #1 turned 14 months old today, so we’ll be needing another car seat soon!! Would really love to win this!

I love that it can go forward or rear facing. Thats what I’m looking for
I bought one for my granddaughter 4 years ago and it was the best investment I have ever made… I love the side impact feature now on these seats…
We have an infant seat by Britax and we really like it but my little guy has almost outgrown it. The new ones look like they will last alot longer as he grows.
My husband is big on comfort. I like the the extra comfort foam.
This would be great for new baby.

My older child has Britax carseats and we love them. There is a DISTINCT difference in quality in the Britax ones and the infant seat that we have for our second child.

I look forward to not having to buy a big carseat again! This would fit my child now, all the way to a small booster in the WAY future!
It says something about a strap holder? Anything to make it EASIER to put the kids back into the seat with ease!
Changing the harnesses without having to take out the carseat??? That’d be great!! Those things are so tough to adjust! What a timesaver!

It looks SO easy to buckle up! And so comfy, too! We spend a lot of time in our car, so this would be a great carseat for my boy!
Kara´s last blog ..Sweet Giveaway
Most exciting feature: Small Contoured Base ensures a tight installation in all types of vehicles. I have 3 children. Trying to fit a carseat and 2 boosters in an A4 Audi is nearly impossible. I just found out 2 weeks ago… that we are expecting #4. You don’t happen to have a minivan giveaway coming up;)
I love that the carseat holds a child up to 65lbs. Older children still need the 5-point harnesses.
I subscribed through google reader.
I like simplicity, so my favorite feature is that you don’t have to rethread the harness to adjust it!
Hope I win!
I like the safety features and that it seems to be a very comfortable ride for the baby!

I like the lock-offs that they have. I have always struggled with the concept of my baby’s carseat moving too much during travel. It looks like a really good product. I would love to have it for my children!

I love that it has the built in lockoffs. What a great feature to make it more secure!
Yes please!!

i like the click and safe feature. its always hard knowing when too tight or not tight enough the harness is. with this feature all you have to do is pull intil you hear the “click” and tada! your done and your child is SAFE!!!

I love that it goes up to 65 pounds!! There are so few carseats that do…

I’m so excited!! It looks like a nice seat. if it doesn’t work for my daughter then I will give it away.
I like that it can recline!!!
The safety features are great and the seat is easy to adjust to the childs height.
I subscribed!!!
My fave feature is the the length of time you can leave baby rear facing- it is SO SO SO much safer! I am nearing the end of my use of the Britax Companion, my chunky monkey is getting near the time she’ll need the bigger seat & Advocate is the one I want!
I would love to win this car seat. I a have a one year old who is ready to be out of a infant carrier and a two year old who is not ready to be in a booster seat. so we would love to have a new bigger car seat.
I would love to win one of these. Britax is my favorite brand!
My favorite thing(s) about this car seat are:
The saftey features. I can’t imagine putting my new baby into anything but this with its UV blocking Rays, and its Saftey side impact. I also love that it is durable and easy to clean so that you might, if you are lucky only have to buy one and use it for the next baby! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful item!
I like that it is rear or forward facing…great for plump little babies!
I am a subscriber!
As a soon to be mother for the first time I don’t know too much about car seats but the harness holders sound great! And also, the easy clean fabric is a plus in my book!
I like that it is both rear and forward facing

The “up to 65 lb.” is a definite plus in my book. We are shopping for a new seat for our #4. The fabric sounds fantastic, too! I’d LOVE to win one, wow!
Not only do I love the safety but also the harness holders.

Premium, Push-Button Lower LATCH Connectors for a quick, simple, and tight installation…that is my favorite!
I was impresed by the fact that the Energy-Absorbing Base deforms in the event of a crash to absorb impact forces.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Yay! I love the weight limit and the safety features! How great!
Love the true side impact protection . Wouldn’t put my kiddos in anything else! Hoping to win this seat to replace our hand-me-down (fingers crossed
.
I would be happiest that it holds a child up to 65 lb and that the harness is adjustable without having to re-thread it. Re-threading harnesses is a pain.
My youngest DD is currently in a “bucket” car seat and really needs to move up to a convertible rear facing like this Britax Advocate. Thanks for the chance to win!
Definitely the harness holders! No more digging them out from behind squirmy kids!
The Lock-Off feature sounds wonderful.
I love the britax seats we have and love the new head rest they have added to this seat.
I have a similar Britax for my 2 year old and love it! And I need another for my 8 month old who is just about to outgrow her infant carrier! I love the click feature on these Britax’s and also the high weight limit! We can use them forever! Well, almost!

I love that the car seat is so plush! The ones that aren’t are uncomfortable for little ones!
I love that the seat fits a higher weight limit…thus it lasts longer and I like the true side impact protection and added cushion to the seat. I have looked at the seats many times as we do travel a lot…I think they are wonderful but do admit the price is a little out of my budget even though deep down I only want the best/safest products for my children. Thanks.

I love that it has side-impact protection – which you don’t find very often. This would make me feel better about putting the seat on one side – instead of the middle – which is a huge pain!
I love these carseats. They will hold a child in a 5 point harness longer than most carseats. My friend has one and I really like hers. I have never been able to aford one for my daughter but would love to win one. Thanks Missy
I love the fact that it goes up to 65 lb with a 5 point harness. It has the hugs system. It is a brand that I know I can trust. This is a wonderful contest. I am needing to buy 2 new ones for the girls asap.

I’m excited about the weight limits, means it will last longer for my son.
Like many other comments, I like the 65lb weight limit, and the CS feature…clicking to let me know it is snug, so when Grandma is driving around my little one she can be assured that she got it tight enough. Thanks for the giveaway!

I lovee this seat! The safety features, comfort, infant support (yay!), everything! I have a two year old boy and a 3 month daughter. My son has a pretty decent seat, but it is something we got second hand so it would be great to replace his. It would also be great for our daughter for a veryy long time, especially because hers now isnt the best and we dont have a second seat for her! This would be the ultimate christmas gift for mommy
Love the small base that would make it easier to fit in my little car!

I like that the ’seated shoulder height’ goes up to 16 inches…it is nice to see the weight up to 65 lbs,…I’m guessing my children will out grow it in height before weight. I like keeping my children in a 5 pt harness as long as possible.
I like the infant body pillow. My 11 month old daughter is really small, and she still uses one of the newborn inserts in her infant carseat.
I love the weight limit!
I love that it holds up to 65lbs!!A 5 pt. harness at that weight amazes me.

we are looking for a convertible car seat for my 14 months old. So far, I think Britax is the best. This advocate CS seems to have everything height, weight, side impact protection, harness adjuster and style. It will be great if I win this. Have a great holiday.
I have heard for months – Britax is the best. I am ready to move my daughter to a regular car seat from her infant one…this car seat has the best features for safety and comfort.
My friend has one of these carseats. I love the fact that they hold a child up to 65 lbs. I also really like they have a pad that goes between the child and the buckle so you do not pinch there legs when straping them in. They are real easy to use also.
So I’m dying to know who won this. Did I miss the post?
