  "answer": "Britax Highpoint: After more than a year of daily use, the reviewer rates the three-layer side-impact protection, easy 10-position headrest and IIHS Best Bet rating as the main strengths.\nBritax Emblem: Given a top grade, with the extra side-impact layer judged worth the small step up in price over its simpler sibling, and cited crash data from two testing organisations looking good.\nBritax Allegiance 3 Stage Convertible Car Seat: This review says the Allegiance has only one layer of side impact protection (the foam-lined shell), while the near-identical Britax Emblem adds a second layer at about the same price, so it steers most families to the Emblem.",
