BRITAX PAVILION 70-G3 CAR SEAT REVIEW + GIVEAWAY





BRITAX has been a leader in mobile safety for more than 70 years, with a legacy of leadership in developing innovations that enhance the safety of child car seats and improve their ease of installation and use.

I have been a big fan of Britax car seats for sometime now. I feel that they are the safest on the market. I will explain why in this post with the Britax Pavilion 70-G3 car seat.


BRITAX convertible car seats can be used rear facing from 5 to 40 pounds and forward facing from 1 year and 20 pounds, up to 70 pounds, depending on the seat. High-capacity convertibles allow your child to stay in a five-point harness through the toddler years.


 
Product Features:
 
HUGS Chest Pads with SafeCell Technology are affixed to the seat shell to ensure proper positioning while SafeCells compress to manage energy and provide resistance to the forward movement of your child in a crash, reducing the risk of head injury.
  
 
EZ-Buckle System retains the harness buckle in a forward position and prevents the child from sitting on the buckle when boarding.
 
True Side Impact Protection is deep side walls with energy-absorbing EPP foam along with a head restraint which offers a double layer of EPP foam to distribute crash forces, shield from vehicle intrusion, and contain the head, neck and body while keeping them “in true” or aligned.
 
Every since we installed the Britax Pavilion 70-G3 Car Seat in our van my son has fallen asleep each ride, I believe because he is so comfortable in his new seat. I have seen car seats where children fall asleep and their heads wobble all the way to one side but with the True Side Impact Protection not only will it keep their heads protected but it will keep the child from having a kinked neck.
 


 
Base with SafeCell Technology features SafeCells designed to compress in a crash, significantly lowering the center of gravity and counteracting the forward rotation of the child seat which normally propels the child toward the front seat.
 
Integrated Steel Bars strengthen the connection to the vehicle and reduce forward flexing of the child seat during a crash.  





Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether features a staged-release tether webbing to slow the forward movement, reducing the crash forces reaching the child, and a two-point attachment to minimize forward rotation while anchoring the top of the child seat.
 
Click & Safe® Snug Harness Indicator is an audible aid that provides extra assurance when the harness is within range of appropriate snugness.
 
This happens to be one of my favorite features of this car seat. In my son's old car seat he was able to get his arms all the way out of the 5 point harness even when tightened! This always scared me, with the Britax Pavilion 70-G3 he cannot get his arms out of the 5 point harness which makes this one of the safest features in my opinion of this car seat!
 
Tangle-Free, Five-Point Harness distributes crash forces across the strongest parts of the body and provides a secure fit.
 
Nothing like getting your child in and out of a car seat with tangled harness straps. I love the tangle free feature, no more tangles and no more frustrations for myself and my son!
 
 
70-pound Weight Capacity for safety and comfort as your child grows.
 
Rear and Forward Facing Recline for child comfort and positioning. Rear facing up to 40 lbs and forward facing 1 year and 20 up to 70 lbs.
 
We have typically kept our children rear facing at least till the age of 2 years old any longer than that we have found that our kids get frustrated and want to look the other way and push their feet off on the seat screaming. So my son will be 2 years old in a month, we decided in his Britax Pavilion 70-G3 car seat that we would front face him. I would never have done this with any other car seat than a Britax because no other car seat offers these fantastic safety features.
 
High Density Comfort Foam provides an extra layer of padding to gently cushion your child.
 
Plush, Easy-Remove Cover with matching comfort pads and infant body pillow to provide extra comfort and easy cleaning without disassembling or uninstalling the child seat.
 
I have asked my son do you like your new car seat and his answer is always yes. Now when we get in the van he doesn't cry because prior to his Britax Pavilion 70-G3 he cried and hated to get in his car seat now he climbs in and climbs up in his seat waiting to get buckled!
 
Two Buckle Positions for your growing child.
 
 
Infant Positioning Insert may be necessary for small infants to achieve a snug fit of the harness around your child (sold separately)
 
Quick-Adjust, No-Rethread Harness repositions the harness shoulder height without disassembling the harness straps.
 
This feature is wonderful as they grow in height because unlike other car seats you have to take the car seat out completely and adjust the straps!
 
Premium Lower LATCH Connectors for a quick and simple installation featuring a push button for easy release.
 
In my daughter's car seat you have a hook that latches in the seat latch system, it is impossible for me to unlatch and I need my husband to do it for me but with the Premium Lower Latch Connectors it's one quick push of the red button and the latch is released!
 
Built-in Lock-Offs ensure a snug lap and shoulder belt installation with minimal effort.
 
Anti-Slip, Contoured Base grips and protects the vehicle seat while offering optimum vehicle fit.
 
 
Harness Holders keep harness straps pulled to the sides when placing your child in the car seat
 
Certified for Aircraft Travel
 
Made in the USA with global components
 
MSRP (USD) $339.99.

Available in 6 fabric options.
 
Overall not only does my son enjoy his new carseat but as his mom I love it because of all these fantastic safety features!

SaraMomofmany said...

I'm not trying to tell you what to do with your child, but the pic with your little guy in the car seat, looks like the straps are WAY too loose. The straps even falling off his shoulder area. Maybe you just were taking the pic as an example, but in case you were actually using it this way, I wanted to let you know. You shouldn't have enough slack to be able to pinch the straps by the shoulder up & down if that makes sense.
