Would you use this and the foam infant positioning insert for a newborn with the convertible Advocate 70-G3?

I triple checked with Britax and two car seat safety groups (the car seat lady and one that does the most safety checks.) While pillows are not normally recommended as they are an afterproduct, Britax has tested this pillow with the car seats in their safety tests, so it's not an afterproduct and is safe to use with any Britax seat. It states it on the packaging too and I would recommend keeping that with you if you go to any car seat fit checks and to the hospital because everyone kept giving me trouble (the hospital made me remove it during their tests and refused to bend from their "no pillows" position), which is why I triple checked. My seat was the Pavillion (same as the Advocate but without the side-passenger pillows) and we used the infant positioning insert and this pillow to give a nice, safe, snug fit for my newborn (7lbs 11oz 20inches.) It worked very well.

I bought one and I personally think it was better for an infant. However you can use it without the insert.

Not really. I bought the ultra plush changing cover pad from Summer Infant and it does not sit well on the pad. It makes the pad look flat, but you can still put the baby and it stays in place. It just looks awkward.

I am not sure. It might come with an insert for a smaller baby, but most people buy the peg perego infant car seat before they buy this one.

i don't know. The infant insert(made to be used with the ergo) accommodates a baby as small as 4 lbs. You can not put a small baby in the ergo without the insert!

I used Britax convertibles with both of my kids from birth just because infant seats are not safe! They were fine and my children were not big(my daughter was 6lbs 11oz and my son came home 4lbs 12oz-he was 3lbs7oz at birth). We have the new advocate for the upcoming baby ;-) The advocate even has an "infant insert" that can be purchased to improve the fit. Yes, they look small in the seat, but it does not affect the safety of the seat-at all. Think about this, a piece of plastic that goes through constant stress of in and out of the car(we have a materials engineer in the family and he was very adamant about it not being safe-too much stress on plastic). The studies about this have been buried time and time again, but there is some evidence if you search the net. Unfortunately, we were hit by a drunk driver when my daughter was only 4 mos, she was just fine in her Britax seat! When my son was 9 mos, our Corolla was sideswiped by a semi-truck, both kids were fine(they slept through it), my son in his convertible, my daughter in her Britax booster. We drive A LOT(40k miles a year) and I have never felt uncomfortable with the convertibles from birth and after our second accident we were told by the investigating officer that the Britax saved my son major injuries! I think you will be just fine going with the convertible from day one, we were and ours were "tested."

I just bought this and installed it yesterday for my 1 year old. It came with an "infant insert" that is basically an extra support pillow that goes under the baby's butt. It's that black pad on the seat in the picture. The manual says it is to be used for infants from 5 to 22 pounds. There was no other insert to support a newborn's head, though. If I were using this with a newborn I would look into adding one, though I worry about suffocation risk with some of those after-market inserts.

I found that this car seat was actually more supportive of my newborn's head and more comfortable for my baby than the Graco Classic Connect 30 Infant seat that I also own. If we are going on long trips I put her in this seat instead of the infant one. (I don't have the infant insert, but my 7 lb. newborn fit in it just fine on the way home from the hospital and every time I put her in it since then.)

It's not an insert - you basically roll the bottom part that clips around your waist and snap it so the baby sits higher. That way you can use it with a newborn (perhaps not a preemie, you'd have to look at the weight requirements). Hope that helps!

Yep! You can remove the pillow and safely use the seat once your child gets a little older. We have this car seat and now that our daughter is seventh months old and has much better head control we have removed the infant inserts from the seat. For more information on this seat you can look at the manual online http://download.gracobaby.com/ProductInstructionManuals/PD261464A.pdf Page 18 has the information about the infant insert. We really like this seat - it is easy to adjust and is light/easy to carry. However, one thing I'd like to warn you about is that the click connect sometimes does not fit adapters made for the Graco classic connect seats. For example, we have a BOB stroller and the Graco car seat adapter works only with the classic connect and not with the click connect. So if you have existing gear that you plan to use the car seat with, you may want to get the classic connect model. Good luck!

Possibly. You can buy an insert to help keep baby snug if it doesn't work as is.

Yes, call recaro to get a free infant insert. We used it with our 8 lb 23 in new born. She fit nicely, tho I would not want to use it with a smaller baby.

Yes it will work but I don't recommend because the device is not comfortable for your baby if attached to diaper and baby is in prone position.

I am unsure. I have the boulevard. It has the latch like in your car on the bottom of the carrier near the wheels, so I am assuming if it worked with the infants carrier your would need your base.

I wouldn't advise doing so. You wouldn't be able to get the head support and secure strap tightening that you'd need for your newborn to be safe.

Hi, they have updated the carseat. First, the G4 seats include an infant positioning pillow which must be used up to 22 pounds and then removed while in the 3G you removed it once the child could sit unsupported. Second, the harness covers where redesigned and third, they removed the "70" out of the name due to less weight capacity. It now supports 65pounds while the 3G 70...Hope this helps. Whether you decide to buy the 3G or the 4G you won't regret it. Britax, of what I researched is one of the best carseats. I am very pleased with my purchase and for my second child I will not hesitate on buying Pavilion once again.Good Luck... Hi, they have updated the carseat.

It lays pretty flat so that would be ok, but I would buy something that gives the baby a little support that you put in the stoller. It's pretty roomy.
