If you absolutely can't afford the Britax Advocate 70, then purchase this carseat!! I did tons of research and spoke with experts.

I purchased two carseats - this one for my husband's vehicle, which my son and I are not in as much as in my vehicle. Shopping around and using coupons (Great Trade-in event) helped bring the price down. However, considering the number of years my son will be in this seat and how safe this seat is (its safety is unparalleled by any other seat on the market), it's worth every penny to purchase.

Britax has the latch system as well, but you still have to pull the straps to tighten. With this you don't pull any straps, just push the car seat in and that's it.

I spent weeks trying to find a convertible car seat for my daughter who was 6 months old and 16 pounds at the time. When I stumbled upon the ratings for the e3 I knew it was the one for us! Installation was a breeze and took no time at all. The seat fits well in the backseat of my Hyundai Tuscon. I did have to roll a towel to get the seat to be parallel to the ground rear facing. I am so glad we chose this seat!
