Is this the 2014 model? Also, I have a 5 mo. old and a tall 3.5 year old. Do I need to purchase a carseat adapter for my 5 mo.old to ride safely?

You have to do what you feel is safest for your little one. That being said, the seats do lean back as far as you want them to. I think a 5 month old would be just fine. I'm not sure what model year I have. We bought it new in January of 2014. I love it even more now than when I wrote the original review.

I'm not sure if this is a 2014 model. It looks just like mine and I bought it in 2013. When I got it my children were 3 1/2 and 6 months old. I don't think you need a car seat adaptor. My 6 month old was able to fit securely in the seat with the seat reclined just a little. My children now 4 1/2 and 21 months still live the stroller and fit great. My oldest is very tall for her age and sits very comfortably. The stroller is so easy to maneuver with two children. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure about the model. I purchased it when I believe it was 2013 model... You won't need the car seat adapter, the five point restraint and back that lays all the way down is fine ever for a newborn! We tried the adapter and hated it! (Awkward, super heavy, and makes the stroller almost impossible to get into the car)

The seats go flat, so this is safe for a newborn. There is No need to get car seat adapter.

It is not normal but it will not effect anything as far as safety concerns. It does have a 5 point harness system and as long as the child is buckled in properly, then it will be fine. You can contact Britax and have them send you a new one. They will need your car seat info. Such as manufacture date and serial number. They have a great customer service team and they can send you out a new one with no questions asked. They ship very fast also. Hope this helps.

I have a 4 year old and a 8 month old, so yes, I did use it with the car seat adapter, it works great. It was heavy, a 4 yr old with a car seat, adapter and baby, BUT it worked GREAT. People complain about no swivel, but when you run, it moves flawlessly, even left to right.

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'm not sure why there's even two sizes listed for this stroller. I think they both mean the same thing. The stroller can be used with a car seat with an adapter (I guess this is the "birth" size) and then, of course, older. My daughter is 2.5 years old, #33, and about 38.5 inches tall and still fits in it comfortably, and we've been using it since she was about 4 months old, I think.

I was wondering the same thing! I am trying to decide between the Graco Nautilus and the britax. I really like the extra "snacky" features of the Nautilus because I know what my 5 year old uses. (This seat would be for my 1 year old.) Input from anyone who knows about these carseats would be appreciated!

I used it with my 3 year old on AirTran, but that was 4 years ago. She hated the feel because it was so different from her carseat and she was not used to it. She was comfortable and found asleep on the 6 hour flight. Good luck and God bless.

We just use a few small blankets and recline one of the seats for our 4 month old. I dont think they make a car seat adapter but it seems to work fine without.

Thanks for your reply. I bought the Boulevard end of June and started using the carseat beginning of July. I love it! My daughter is 9 mos now, 28.5 in. and 20 lbs. She does very well in the seat and her head does not tilt forward when she sleeps like it always did in her Graco Snugride (which I also liked, except for the head dangle). I'm also not sure if her head will tilt forward once I turn her forward facing. I will try to keep her rear facing as long as possible.

I would use a convertible so you can keep your child rear facing. I had my 3 1/2 year old, rear facing, in a convertible car seat (not infant). She was in the convertible (I had to finally turn her front facing though) until she was 5 and nearly 40 pounds. Don't go with the "popular" conversation. Go with safe. Do research. Keep your kid rear facing as long as you can.

Hi Mary, I am a certified Child Passenger Safety technician, and Safe Kids and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend having your child in a rear facing car seat for two years at minimum, preferably to the height/weight limits of the convertible car seat. As this forward facing only car seat is intended for older children, Britax specifies that the child must be at least 2 years old and I believe 25 lbs to use this particular seat. I would recommend looking for a convertible car seat for your 13 month old. Hope that helps!

Last I checked there was not a carseat adapter for the double. I think they are planning one. I think one of the reviews had some info about it. As of now it is not an available accessory on their website. The adapter for the single would not work b/c the seats in the double are a bit narrower.

The g4 is more simple and spacious. Better for older kids. I have 6 britax carseats. 2 g4s, 3 55s and a boulevard. I have 2.5 yr old boy girl twins. I like the 55s but I think my son will outgrow it before he will the g4. He's about 34# and tall. My daughter will do fine in both for a while. I do not like the boulevard. Has a weird head support.

It really depends on the childs height. We started using it when our granddaughter was 3 years old and she was much more comfortable riding. Her legs were not pushing into the back of the front seat and she could move around a little more easily. For us her weight had increased, as it should, and it was much easier for her to climb into the carseat on her own and we can then buckle her in. She is now 4+ and can almost buckle herself in. It has been a great seat for us and her.

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.
