Description

The Britax Poplar Convertible Car Seat accommodates up to 50 lbs rear-facing to help keep little ones riding safely longer, and easily switches to a forward facing car seat when they’re ready. ClickTight Technology installation provides fully open seat belt paths that are clearly labeled and easy to access, and the automatic tensioner takes care of the tightening.

Slim outside and spacious inside, the toddler car seat features 17” SpaceSaver technology designed to fit three across (in most vehicles). For added safety, it also features patented SafeCell crumple zone and V-shaped top tether to help manage crash energy. The reinforced frame and belt paths provide strength and stability. More to feel good about: fabrics are naturally flame retardant with no added FR chemicals and safe to machine wash and dry.

Can we get a moms input in design PLEASE
Britax. Can I ask WHY the strap pads are connected to the car seat? Why would these not be removable to easy washing? Which leads me to my next point… why are there so many elastic loops in impossible to reach hooks that hold the cushions in place. Car seats have to be washed. Their ease in washing ability is what makes or breaks a car seat for me. I love this car seat but zero stars for its wash ability. Also, the anchors are not click connect, they are the incredibly frustrating squeeze latch

Not a fan of the straps on this model
We’ve used it for over a year when baby was 5 months to now 19 months and I’ve never been a fan of the straps. There is this hard rubber for no. Slip on the back of the pads that cause an indent on baby. The customer service was not very helpful. They said to just put the straps behind the seat cushion. I’ve done that for the past year and the straps seem to slide off the shoulders if you’re not careful, like they are made just a little too far apart. I don’t feel like my child is very safe in

Versatile and easy
This car seat is amazing. It’s beautiful, it’s strong, and easy. Installation was a breeze, and I thank britax for putting clear instructions on the seat insert stating under 22lb, you must use it rear facing. My 13 month old is 19lb and I definitely took the insert out before seeing the warning on it! The shoulder pads are amazing as they don’t fall down because they have grippies on them! My daughter was no longer liking the infant seat which is why I got this one and now, she loves sitting in her big girl car seat!

Easy to install

Easy to install and toddler seems comfortable. In line with other seats for safety features and has held up well so far. Cost is a bit higher but overall decent value.

Not for kids who get car sick
This is our 8th Britax car seat, so we love the brand, just not this particular seat. Loosening and tightening the harness is more difficult than it should be, the lever to hold while loosening the straps is buried under layers of fabric and the strap to tighten them is against the seat of the car. Our baby gets car sick often and it is a nightmare to clean. The shoulder pads are not removable, so we cannot wash the smell out of them. I do not believe the straps or favorite around the

Very happy with purchase
When our previous convertible car seat was recalled, I began looking for a replacement option. I had always heard Britax was a reliable brand and was drawn to the 50lb rear facing limit of the Poplar. The click tight technology makes for an extremely easy installation and the seat feels very tight and secure once installed. My son seems comfortable and I like that the sides are slight lower than our previous seat, which makes it easier to get him in and out.
The only negative I’ve run into

We love this seat!!
We recently got this seat as our daughter was outgrowing her infant seat and we’re in love! It’s so beautiful and comfy. We picked the S as there was more cushion/padding included and I’m glad we did. We did notice that Britax car seats tend to have shorter crotch straps, but she still fits in this comfortably And has no problems with the buckle. I’d highly recommend this seat!!

Great quality! Easy to install!
The car seat is very nice quality. Out of the box you can see a lot of labeling for where things should go and how to install. The instructions are very simple and when I wanted a visual example there are several on YouTube. After following the YouTube video I had the car seat installed and used the recommended seat belt method. Using the seatbelt was even less intimidating than the lower anchors because of the click tight technology.
One of the biggest draws of this car seat was the promise
