Great for older toddlers
May 6, 2012
Very comfortable for child and easy to move between cars. With the high safety ratings, worth the extra money.
Pros:One of highest safety ratings and very comfortable for child. Cup holders are placed well. Easy to clean up minor spills (haven't experienced any major spills yet, but looks like ti will clean well when we do).

britax frontier 85 sict booster
April 25, 2012
I thought the booster was really easy to install, very comfortable for my 3 yo. He loves the 2 drink holders. I didn't expect it to be so wide. It was much bigger than his convertable.
Pros:comfy
washable cover without taking the booster out
Cons:wide

safe, strong, not as comfortable
April 18, 2012
My son got too big for his Britax Marathon, so we got this one. It's so strong, and now I can't imagine using anything flimsier. My son has complained it's not as comfortable as his old seat. I think the cushion is thinner.
Pros:Very safe
Cons:Not as comfortable

Overall good
April 13, 2012
I like the safety features of this carseat and with britax you can't go wrong. But the only problem and it's a very annoying problem is that the carseat cover pops off the bottom every time we put our child in the car. It is held on by two elastic straps and the straps don't stay connected.
Pros:Safety
Cons:Cover does not stay attached to bottom of seat.

nice seat but it's HUGE
March 22, 2012
I love Britax seats for the easy installation and cushy seats. However, I have no idea how others would put this in their car unless they have captain seats or only 1-2 babies and don't need their back seat space. This seat is ginormous, even bigger than the regular Frontier.
Pros:easy install, comfortable seats, cupholders
Cons:size

Love this seat - worth the price
March 19, 2012
This seat was a challenge to install the first time, but it is really great now. My twins love the cup holders and I love the great safety rating.
Pros:These seats are massive. They do not move once installed properly. They fit my slender kids extremely well.
Cons:The chest buckle on one seat (I have two) is really hard to unfasten and the straps get twisted on occasion.

Great quality booster
March 12, 2012
Very happy with our purchase overall. It is very bulky like most reviews say but we have a Honda Odyssey minivan and its not all that noticeable once installed. If you need a booster for school field trips or planning to take on the plane, im not so sure this would be the best booster since it is so heavy and bulky. Im planning to get a smaller, lighter booster for those instances. My almost 4 year old likes his new cup holders and says he feels comfy in this booster. I feel like I've made the safest choice for my son with this booster especially with the 5 point harness and side impact protection.
Pros:Side impact protection, 5 point harness, color, material, quality, cup holders.
Cons:Bulky, heavy

safe and comfortable
March 12, 2012
My 1 year old boy is a big boy. He is 33" tall and 28Lbs already. This chair is perfect for him. the 5 point harness is not too tight around the legs like the other models. We would definitely recommend this chair.

Britax frontier
February 20, 2012
We love britax. This makes our third carseat. The seats are very parent friendly and safety is a must for us in carseats. This seat is very roomy for my four year old. His legs also don't dangle like they did in the marathon seat. If you have a very small car this seat may pose an issue because it is kinda wide.
Pros:Safety
Roomy
Comfort
Cup holders
Cons:The width is ok in my car but may be an issue for a small car
The height adjustment is kinda hard to get to once seat is installed

Seems like a good investment
January 20, 2012
My toddler loves this seat! She is only 2.5yrs, but as tall as a short 4 year old... so we really have a difficult time shopping for her regarding items like this. We loved the extra protection that it offered that other car seats did not, that the 5 point belt harness went higher than many brands, and that overall it seems very safe. My only concern is that, as handy as the 2 cup holders are for my little one, it makes the seat a little wide at the bottom... Ironically, the extra wide top does not seem to be a seating problem, however. It should be noted that we have a more narrow car, so this is probably not a problem for many of you.
Pros:Seems really safe, and was a good competitive price
Cons:For our smaller car, the second luxury cup holder, took up precious inches in our back seating area.

Love it!
January 15, 2012
My 4 y/o daughter was really wanting to switch over to a booster seat. As soon as she hit 40 pounds, we made the switch from her Britax Boulevard. I will only buy Britax and we went with the SICT for the added safety.
Cons:I don't like how the booster doesn't seem to sit right on my SUV seats. I have a Yukon XL. The angle of the back of the booster seems to be the issue even when I try to adjust the seat backs in my Yukon. I'm going to get it checked out at a safety station to make sure its ok the way its installed.

Very Happy
January 8, 2012
The car seat shipped quickly, and was exactly what we wanted. It is big, but with a car that accommodates the size of the car seat, it is perfect. My 4 year old can buckle herself in, and the cup holders are well proportioned and conveniently placed.

Best Car Seat!
January 2, 2012
I have three other britax carseats and love them. I feel very confident that they are the safest and most reliable carseat out there. Very easy to install and the cup holders are my sons favorite. Would recomend to everyone!! I will be buying another frontier when my daughter gets a little older.

Excellent car seat
December 29, 2011
This product was recommended as the top car seat by a group for child safety who had a display of various car seats at the grand opening of Lego Land. I ordered two from Albee, it was very easy to order and they arrived by mail within two or three days. They were super easy to install. We upgraded from the Britax roundabout, and had outgrown them. My two sons, ages 4 and 5 love them. My only complaint is I have a hard time pushing in the lever that loosens the straps. The roundabout had a button that was easy to push. This seat makes it more challenging, but probably so that the child cannot access the lever to loosen his own seat.

Great seat.
December 25, 2011

I know car seats. Two children. I've owned 2 infant car seats, three previous models of convertable seats...all purchased after research on Consumer reports. This is a very good seat. The best I could find in the market and I did the research. Being able to keep my kids in 5 point restraint up to 85 lbs and 57 inches makes my children safer. I was getting ready to convert my 7 year old daughter's seat to a booster seat, as she was almost too tall for the harnesses. Purchased these seats the week after being rear ended at stop light by driver surfing the internet on her phone and hit us at 35+ mph. Paramedics said if my kids where not in 5 point harnesses, they would have been on their way to the ER. They see it all the time. Both got out and played after the shock wore off. Next week a friend was t-boned and her daughter of the same age was taken to the ER with internal injuries from sliding under the seat belt and seat belt tore into her abdomon. She was in a booster seat and the booster seat back broke. So, my kids understand why they will not be in booster seats like their friends. These seats are solid and heavy. Rated to hold a kid up to 85 lbs in the harness, which means they can hold my kids at higher forces than their previous seats, which had to be thrown out after the impact of the collision. Seat are like helmets, they are only good for one impact.
Pros:Best seat on the market. Quality materials. Easy to clean seat covers, they come off easily without having to disassemble anything. Easily adjusted while seat is installed, so as kids get taller, the seat can be easlily heightened. This seat will keep an average kid in a five point harness through 10 or 11 years old and then be a solid booster up through 120 lbs (way past what I need it to do). If your kid is in a booster seat, you are unwittingly (or wittingly) commiting child endangerment like our parents who left us to play in the back seat of the car without even a seat belt. My young children move around too much in a booster seat to be in the correct seated position for a collision. The five point harness keeps them seated correctly. The difference could be life altering.
Cons:The SICT stands for Side Impact Cushion Technolgy. Basically two inflated tough air bags on the side of the seats. I am barely able to fit the two seats side by side in my two passenger minivan bench seat. The bags in the middle have to be squeezed together to fit into the seat together. Up side, the bags are solid and may save their lives. Downside, installation is trickier with two passenger bench seats in minivans. Should be fine in three passenger bench seats and captain chair type seats.

Well worth the money.
December 8, 2011
I purchased this car seat for my grandson when my daughter wanted to put him in a booster seat type system. I was not impressed by the other booster seats out there. This seat has good protection on the sides and the 5 point harness but can convert to the seat belt option when he is older. It is our second Britax car seat and I am very pleased with the quality and ease of use. Of course, what sold me on the Britax was the safety rating. Price at Albee Baby was the best I found and it was delivered to my door in a very short time and in perfect condition. Albee Baby is my first choice in buying for baby online.
Pros:5 point belt system, side protection, size, comfort, nice looking, safety rating, ease of use.

Safe and Comfortable.
September 21, 2011
Super easy install, big, heavy and tall, perfect, if it were small, light and short, I would worry. He loves his big boy car seat, with not one but two cup holders, I love knowing that he is in the safest seat. I also love the price here and the no tax and free shipping, its cheaper than going to a baby store locally and having to pay full price and tax, not to mention convenient since its shipped to your home.
