When it comes to your child's safety, you're 100% responsible. Therefore, as a parent, we want to make the best decisions and buy the best products for our little one. It’s important to always think of their safety in everything they do. Simple things like crawling around the house and getting into dangerous products that they shouldn’t, and walking around outside by the pool are all innocent things children do, but they are all dangerous things if a parent isn’t supervising!
Another thing you want to look out for is your child’s safety in the car. A car seat is essential, and can turn a car ride into a dangerous one if they don’t have a car seat, or the seat isn’t installed correctly, so make sure both you have a carrier and it’s properly installed. If you didn’t know already, 3 out of 4 seats are installed wrong, will yours be one of them?
I truly believe "you get what you pay for". Sometimes we ask ourselves why we go the cheap route because it is just what we paid for, "cheap". This is especially true when it comes to your child's car seat. Although some seats may be expensive, they are worth it, especially when it comes to Britax. Britax is one of the best rated, and highest reviewed companies out there.
Unlike a lot of the car seat companies on the market, the majority of Britax’s seats have a rating of 4.5/5.0 stars! That is definitely something to think about when you’re looking. Not to mention, they have a lot of features other seats don’t; like true side impact protection. This is my favorite feature when it comes to their seats because it helps distribute crash forces by containing your little one’s head and body. In other words, it gives your little one extra padding and safety from the side if there were to be impact.
So, you’re probably asking yourself “which seat should I consider?” There really isn’t a right or wrong answer for this other than one that fits your child properly. All of Britax’s seats are great, have excellent reviews, and most importantly, they pass the U.S. safety standards.
Although, if you’re looking for a convertible car seat, one seat I really want to recommend is the Britax Advocate. It will last your child years on end, and will make your happy with your purchase. What's included? Keep reading!
With this seat comes true side impact protection (what I had talked about above), a safe harness adjuster that "clicks" once the straps are tight enough, and lastly, it comes with a 5-point harness and several nice colors to choose from!
Like all Britax seats, this one really has it all! What more could you ask for when you're getting the top of the line features, quality, reviews and ratings? I know I want what's best for my children, and I'm sure you do as well! Therefore, I've considered using Britax for my children when we're on the road!
