Britax Poplar S Convertible Car Seat
The Britax Poplar S Convertible Car Seat is designed to support your child from the rear-facing stage into forward-facing harness use. Its slim 17" SpaceSaver™ design helps preserve valuable back-seat space, while Britax ClickTight® installation is designed to make secure installation easier and more intuitive.
The Poplar S supports rear-facing children from 5–40 lbs and forward-facing children from 22–65 lbs. A ReboundReduce™ Stability Bar is included for rear-facing use to help minimize seat movement during a crash, while the carbon steel frame, SafeCell® technology and five-point harness provide additional structural and energy-management support.
