Neither Britax Advocate ClickTight nor Graco Contender 65 were recommended by experts this month

On 7 Mar 2024 (22 days ago) we went through 86 Convertible Car Seat expert endorsements , however neither Britax Advocate ClickTight nor Graco Contender 65 were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Convertible Car Seat received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Nuna RAVA or other critically acclaimed Convertible Car Seats of this month.

For reference, Nuna RAVA received 8 endorsements this month, from Strolleria (28 Feb 2024), Parents (26 Jan 2024) babylist (5 Jan 2024) and 5 others.
