Poplar Convertible Car Seat

Love this seat!

I love the slim design of the Poplar! We have loved the clicktight feature on all of our Britax seats (this is our third seat) and we have not been disappointed! The Poplar will provide a lot of flexibility when transporting 3 across. Very happy with this purchase!

Great quality, with many installation resources

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 of front to back space saving. It is a much better fit than our maxi-cosi infant car seat. Thankful it still seems very roomy for the baby.

The only negative I ran into is that we are using this for our 40 percentile 5 month old and I wasn’t sure if the harness pads needed to be used for her. (They don’t). After some searching and googling I was able to find the answer.

Better than expected, and will be using for many stages!

Installing this car seat was a breeze and I took a liking to this click-tight system, which made me confident that my infant was not going to feel bumps on the road or get shaken up in any way. The slim design was a perk as we often use all 3 seats in the second row. I imagine cleaning will be simple as well since it can go right in my washing machine not like other car seats that need lots of hand scrubbing and ample time to dry. The cushions look way more luxurious in person than in the pictures it’s advertised with and I love how the rear-facing accommodates a child up to 50 pounds/49 inches. I see the Poplar lasting for several stages since it can transition to forward facing and has a lot of head positions so if my baby needs the height it will accommodate!

Britax made it so that I can also purchase a stability bar and add it to my car seat, appreciate that option. Only wish they had thought of a way for parents to switch the headrest to one with added inserts for more side impact protection and a way to add a canopy for extra shade like many infant car seats already come with.

Small seat with BIG LOVE!

We wanted to wait for this review until after our big up-north trip, and I am SO happy I did because it was AMAZING! My daughter who NEVER naps anymore since being forward facing, napped half the trip because she was so comfortable! The ClickTight installation system is a game-changer. It makes installing the seat so easy and secure—no more wrestling with seat belts or worrying if it’s in right. The built-in lock-offs and LATCH connectors are straightforward, making the whole process quick and hassle-free. My daughter loves this seat! It’s super padded and comfy. The adjustable headrest and harness will grow with her, so she’s always snug and happy. Plus, there are multiple recline positions for rear-facing babes. The Britax Poplar has a nice compact design. It’s roomy enough for my daughter but doesn’t take up too much space in the car. It would definitely fit well in smaller cars, and even in our large SUV we needed a seat that could fit with multiple in the 3rd row. Overall, I’m super happy with the Britax Poplar car seat. It’s easy to install, super comfortable for my daughter, and fits well in my car. Highly recommend!

I wish I had this seat three years ago!

I have been a fan of Britax since I purchased our first Britax three years ago. When Britax came out with the Poplar, I knew I would be a fan. We needed a convertible seat for our 10 month old and this was the perfect choice. I am so impressed the comfort, sturdiness, and extra convenience features this seat has.
