As parents, we are all concerned about our children’s safety – especially in the car. I have become a lot more passionate about car safety since having my son and becoming more informed. Too many times I see babies and toddlers forward-facing before they should be, in a booster seat before they meet the weight and age requirement….it’s exciting to move onward and get your child a “big kid” seat but what if something were to happen?
I was excited to receive the Britax Frontier 85 SICT Combination Harness-2-Booster Seat for Hayden. In Missouri, the booster seat law is children must be at least 4 years old and 40 pounds. Hayden is only 35 pounds so he has awhile before he would be able to be in a booster seat without a 5 point harness.
If you’re looking for a carseat that will grow with your toddler, this is the one!
As soon as we got the new car seat, Hayden was ready to try it out! He was so excited and couldn’t wait for my husband to install it in our SUV! He didn’t have to wait long because Britax car seats feature Premium Lower LATCH Connectors for a quick and easy installation!
There are so many great features of the FRONTIER 85 SICT Combination Harness-2-Booster Seat that parents will love!
– Side Impact Cushion Technology: See how big the side of the car seat is? I’ve had a few friends ask why it’s so wide and this is it! The Side Impact Cushion Technology features energy-absorbing cushions to reduce side impact crash energy by 45%! It diverts the crash forces away from your child and also provides extra protection for anyone sitting next to your child in the backseat.
– True Side Impact Protection: The neck and head is a precious thing and with this feature, the head restraint creates an extra layer of energy-absorbing foam that keeps the head, neck and spine aligned. In case of a crash, the foam will distribute crash forces and keep everything contained and protected!
– Harness Ultra Guard System {Hugs}: I am such an advocate of having a harness strap on the chest area and the HUGS will help minimize forward movement of your child in case of a crash.
– Tangle Free and Five Point Harness: On our old car seat, the harness was constantly getting tangled and it drove all of us crazy. Don’t worry about that anymore! You also have 10 harness positions to choose from and three buckle positions ensuring a safe and snug fit as your child grows!
I’m also so thankful for the easy to remove cover! You don’t have to uninstall the car seat at all – just slip off the cover to wash! We have had accidents in the car before that has required the whole car seat coming out – something that is not fun at all! This will definitely come in handy if you’re potty training and there may be an accident!
This is absolutely the best and safest car seat that Hayden has been in. He loves it too and will let everyone know about his new seat that has TWO cupholders! {One for his milk and one for his sunglasses!}
Available in three varieties of fabrics, the Britax FRONTIER 85 SICT Combination Harness-2-Booster Seat is available starting at $299.99. {It’s also made in the USA!}
Disclosure: I received the above product for review purposes only. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This booster seat looks great! I love that it has cup holders! We have Britax carseats right now for our girls, it won’t be much longer and we’ll be shopping for booster seats!
This is a great car seat but could you please edit this post to correct that the placement of the chest clip is not correct incase other parents are this and think it’s okay. The correct placement is to have the top of the chest clip level with the armpits, not a bow tie, not a belly clip.
