With very few exceptions, this car seat has positive reviews concerning easy installation with its ClickTight Feature, even for someone unfamiliar with it.
One very popular feature is that the straps do not have to be re-threaded when the child grows. You just raise the head rest.
Also popular, is the "ball angle indicator" on both sides. It takes the guess work out of leveling.
Comments indicate that even though this car seat is slightly bigger and heavier, the security and protection it provides is well worth it. A few of these comments were made after actual car accidents. "It's built like a tank".
More general comments: "It's super easy to install". Uninstalling is a "workout "," It just has a little learning curve at first". "Definitely not convenient to quickly move between vehicles".
So, if you plan to use this car seat in more than one vehicle, either buy two, or maybe consider buying another Britax model.
The reclining ability of this car seat is very good, but understandably requires more space when installed "rear facing". Some have found it to be a tight fit in smaller cars. Front seat recline may be an issue.
Some comments indicate that the crotch straps are incredibly tight, and that the crotch buckle is difficult to release, but they still love this car seat.
Let's face it: simplifying strap and harness adjustments in car seat design is one of the biggest challenges facing manufacturers. No matter how good the design is, different users will have different abilities, and their own perception of user friendliness. The best anyone can do is go with the averages, and a 94% average over 3,800+ reviews is pretty good.
Conclusion: The Britax Advocate ClickTight Convertible Car Seat seems to be a winner.
