Britax Poplar Convertible Car Seat, Stone Onyx

We couldn’t be happier with the Britax Poplar. After struggling with other convertible car seats, this one was a breath of fresh air — the installation was incredibly simple and took just a few minutes. It clicked in rock-solid on the first try, which gave us so much peace of mind. The seat feels sturdy and well-built, yet it’s surprisingly compact — it fits easily in our back seat without feeling bulky, and still gives our child plenty of room. Our little one seems super comfortable in it, and we love the extended rear-facing option so we can keep them safer longer. It also has thoughtful details like easy-to-adjust harness straps and breathable fabric that keeps our child cool. For the quality and safety features, the price felt really reasonable too. Highly recommend — this seat has made our daily drives so much less stressful!

I am impressed at the quality of the car seat. It is definitely heavier (sturdier) so you won’t be lugging it around but it is by far the best car seat around. The shoulder pads and the buckle pad are thick. It is very easy to tighten and loosen. Baby fits in it perfectly. The install is SUPERIOR to any other car seat. I feel confident knowing that the car seat will protect baby in case anything happens. I will never buy a different brand of car seat again. I know there are a few that convert into booster seats but I don’t think it is worth sacrificing the safety that is needed when they’re younger. Booster seats are inexpensive. I’d rather purchase this one that fits and protects nicely in the first few years of life, and then later on purchase a booster. I love that baby is able to rear face longer as well. There is a level on it too so you know when you have the car seat reclined just right.

Best and easiest to use, install, and to know your child is highly protected. This was MUCH easier to install than a previous brand used. We bought 2 of these in about a year for our 2 grandsons and followed daughter’s recommendation in buying this and she was right. It is a little pricier than the previous brand but so worth it due to the quality and far less frustration.

We absolutely love these seats, we have the pink and grey ones, they are so comfy and we can fit two with a booster in the back of a Corolla easily, but they aren't narrow or hurting the kids hips. Our kids wanted to be strapped into them just to watch TV while we were setting them up because the padding is so cozy. They're durable and a bit on the heavier side, but super easy to install. I'd venture to say they're probably safer than our old Graco's, based on how durable they are alone. They FEEL safe if that makes sense. This is not a flimsy seat at all. They fit both our toddler and 6yo well with no issues.

I purchased 2 of the Britax Poplar car seats, one for my car and 1 for my husband's car. They have served us so well with my daughter. I'm hoping that they haven't expired by the time we need them for our next child, but if so I will purchase 2 more. These seats are durable, while still being well padded and comfortable for your child. when the pads are machine washed they're like new. We know because my daughter got sick and vomited all over one of them and you couldn't tell one bit if you saw the seat today. We were able to wipe everything clean and wash the padding with no issues. I can't say enough positive things about this car seat. They are very heavy, which is why we bought 2 and we do not travel with them on planes or trains for that reason as well. However, I think that goes back to the durability of the seats. They also can be adjusted to the perfect recline for safety and comfort very easily when needed. And although it isn't a $100 car seat, it's not unreasonably priced either, especially for the value. If you're looking and comparing, just get this. You won't regret it.
