On January 16th celebrity parents descended on the Century Plaza in LA for the annual Boom Boom Room Gifting suite.
For the event, Britax was on hand to introduce them to their newest convertible car seat, the Britax Advocate CS Car Seat, which many, including Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Chad Lowe and Ali Landry, took home.
Unveiled last Spring, the Britax Advocate CS is a high weight capacity convertible car seat which introduces the revolutionary energy-managing Side Impact Cushion Technology, reducing incoming side impact crash energy by 50 percent by diverting crash forces away from the child.
The seat features the Britax tangle-free, five-point harness, a rear- and forward-facing recline, and accommodates children rear facing from 5 to 35 pounds and forward facing from at least one year old and 20 pounds up to 65 pounds. It is also equipped with Britax True Side Impact Protection, Versa-Tether®, HUGS™, premium LATCH connectors, and the Click & Safe® Snug Harness Indicator, which provides extra assurance when the harness is within range of appropriate snugness.
This technology is the first and only to:
- Absorb side impact crash forces before reaching the child, resulting in fewer head injuries.
- Feature robust air chambers that require up to 10 times more force to compress than competing technologies. This results in the transfer of significantly more crash force energy away from the child.
- Provide an energy-absorbing surface area along the full length of the seat, protecting the child’s head, neck and torso.
- Offer a soft, protective surface for the adjacent passenger in a side impact crash.
WIN IT!! Britax offered one (1) Growing Your Baby Reader the opportunity to win a Britax Advocate CS Car Seat.

This is my favorite feature: Side Impact Cushion Technology is comprised of air-filled, energy-management cushions on either side of the child seat that reduce side impact crash energy by 50% for the child in the seat and also serve to protect adjacent passengers.
It protects the baby and the adjacent passengers (in my case, my other children!), that is a great feature!
I follow you on Twitter (mail4rosey), and I gave a Tweet.

I think the No Re-thread Harness Adjustment allows you to adjust the harness height without having to re-thread the harness straps is great that is always worst thing about a carseat!

We all know that Britax is an awesome seat so picking just one feature is tought. But I think that since all the safety features are the very best, I’ll go with the face that it comes with an infant body pillow and the weight capacity goes up to 65 pounds so you can use it throughout all the years. I like the fabric choices too (Moonstone for example).
WOULD LOVE TO WIN!! !!
I like that it has the side-impact cushions. Thanks for the great contest!
I really like the Harness Ultra Guard System to limit the forward head movement and protect the chest! Great product! Thanks!

I really like the High Density Comfort Foam provides an extra layer of padding to gently cushion the child! 🙂 All of these features are really nice though!

First off, I love Britax car seats. I love the true side impact protection. The new seat looks really neat…
I love that it can be used by long/tall kids, like mine. I want to buy a seat that will last a while. Thanks!
