BRITAX 360 Degree ProtectionThe 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 SecurityOffering 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 FitWhen 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 FeaturesWhether 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.

Are the air bladders worth the money? I think yes.,

This review is from: Britax Advocate 70 CS Click & Safe Convertible Car Seat (Previous Version), Onyx (Baby Product)
Update 2: As you read below you will see that I think this is a good seat and recommend it for people concerned about safety. That being said I'm hoping Britax engineers will read this and quit building the CS feature into their seats. As I state below the CS feature of the 70 model is much better than the 65 model, however, it's really just a gimmick. It offers ZERO value to the seat other than letting Britax add another feature on the feature list. The click is almost never enough tension (even if you groom the belt and tighten it around your kids legs first). One should always check the tension of the belts with their hand. I'm willing to bet that parents that rely on the click are not properly tightening the straps. The 70 model is still easy to tighten on your kid, but the CS feature needs to go Britax. The 65 model's CS feature/belt path is well below average in terms of usability. I own two Advocate 65's and one Advocate 70 and would pay 50 dollars right now to remove...Read more

Worth Every Penny...,
November 20, 2010 This review is from: Britax Advocate 70 CS Click & Safe Convertible Car Seat (Previous Version), Cowmooflage (Baby Product)
If you're not familiar with Britax, I believe they are the BEST car seats you can spend your money on. We own a Marathon for our very long 3.5 year old and now that our also very long 10 month old had outgrown her infant carrier, I knew what brand to turn to. Since last having a child, Britax has added some new safety features to their already super safe car seats. :)! I won't bore you with the logistics of why this is such a safe car seat, you can watch videos and read the research on Britax's website for yourself (I know I did ENDLESS research as I imagine you're doing right now :)). I can tell you that once out of the box, I couldn't believe how the shell (which is now reinforced with steel bars) curved around and literally surrounded where your child sits. I installed pretty quickly rear facing (with seat belt and tether). If you've done this before, it's not different, lock off and pull tight. If you're unfamiliar with Britax, you can watch a quick video and do it easily. Once...Read more

This review is from: Britax Advocate 70 CS Click & Safe Convertible Car Seat (Previous Version), Riviera (Baby Product)
When I needed to buy a convertible car seat for my older son, I bought a Britax Boulevard. I felt this was the best car seat available at that time. We've had it for a little over two years and it has been a great seat, although we haven't had to test it in an accident, luckily. Compared to all other seats, I always thought the Boulevard was the best quality. However, now that my younger son is large enough to move into a convertible seat, I ordered him the Britax Advocate 70 CS, as this appeared to be the best seat available at this time. Well, it arrived yesterday and I am extremely impressed. The quality is clearly a few notches above the Boulevard. Not only is the fabric superior, but it seems more sturdy and solid. It is wider, though, due to the side impact protection. It seems even safer, too. So, despite the Boulevard being an excellent seat, I just order another Advocate 70 for my older son. I want him to be in the safety seat available, and I am confidant that...Read more
