Britax Frontier SICT Booster Seat
We spent a lot of time and effort looking at different options for car seat replacements - we have another britax in one of our car and another brand in another. This was a replacement for a small chair that our 4yr had outgrown. We did the usual looking at all the major baby and dept stores - looking at both the construction and the material the currently available chairs. I can say I was disappointed with the selection - there are some cheaper chairs available but none of them compared to the britax brand and nothing compared to the Frontier 85 SICT. We are very happy with our choice in this chair. Our 4yr old also makes comments about his new car seat - and how comfortable he feels in it.
Installation is easy - just rest the manual and follow the steps - make sure that you keep the straps over the shoulders and not below or level of your child - this is important. (you will need to check this on a regular basis) adjustment of the straps is easy even with the seat installed - this is a huge bonus for us - I hate to take car seats in and out of cars - some are better than others (I had the cuts and bruises) but this is not the case with this seat.
I highly recommend that you consider this as a chair for your child, before you buy go look in the store you will see what I am talking about when it comes to construction and features - Amazon was the best price we could find this chair for.
In addition regardless of which chair you do purchase ALWAYS ALWAYS register the purchase with the manufacturer - this is the only way you will know about any product recalls - we did this with another brand and had to get two new bases for our non-britax car seat - it costs nothing to register.
Have 34 mo. old grandchild who is 38" tall and need a good toddler car seat with a 5 pt. harness (til age four) that will eventually be used as a booster with the car seat belt. Just brought home Graco "ARGOS 70" and found NO room in the shoulder area for growing, or for a jacket! Had no idea this would be so difficult!!! Local stores have a limited selection and am hesitant to order online because of this fitting problem. Looking for 5 pt. harness, removable/washable cover, permanent cup holder, and, of course, good safety rating. I paid about $200 for the ARGOS 70 and that was a bit much for me, but.... Any help will be much appreciated, as this is becoming an urgent problem. Thank you!
BalasHapusI have read all different answers on this topic. My daughter is only 3 but she is 36 inches tall and 40 pounds. Is it safe to put her into a booster? Her car seat harness is starting to get very tight (I have loosened it as much as possible) Thanks!
BalasHapusMy boyfriends Daughter is in the recommended weight and height, of her car seat. but the harness straps are below her shoulders. i read that they should be at or above the shoulder. should she be moved to a booster seat or what? the harness straps are at the top also.
BalasHapushe is 2 and is 39" tall, 37 lbs and has a 15.5 inch torso...I currently have a Britax marathon and I am having trouble closing the latch and is already adjusted to the max.
BalasHapustrue or false?
BalasHapusI am shopping for a "toddler" car seat for my daughter. My problem with the boosters with no back is that they don't seem very safe and don't really look like they are a good vehicle restraint. What would the difference be if I just sat my daughter in the regular car seat and put the seat belt on and if I used the booster seat and just put the seat belt on. I don't really see much of a difference. I am really concerned with my daughter's safety in a vehicle. She has gotten too big for her current car seat. What would be the BEST (and although money is an issue, it won't be an issue in the purchase of an excellent car seat to ensure my daughter's safety) booster or car sear her now? She is going to be 4 in April, she weighs about 48 pounds, and around 3 1/2ft tall. Any help would be great..Thanks!!!
BalasHapusMy daughter is 4 but soon to be five and under 40 pounds. I have her still in her forward facing seat because she still fits, but barely. She is old enough to fit into a booster but doesn't meet the weight requirement. What do I do?
