Description


Designed for safety, comfort and convenience, this harness-2-booster seat is perfect for your growing child. Easily transitions from harness mode to belt-positioning booster mode by tucking away buckles and straps safely within the seat. Plus, the SafeWash™ fabric covers come in a sleek “big-kid approved” fashion and are safe to machine wash (and dry) again and again. Maintains safety properties with no added flame retardant chemicals.

A secure installation is as simple as buckling a seat with the patented ClickTight Installation system. All you do is open the seat, thread and buckle the seatbelt, and click the seat closed for a secure installation. 3 layers of Side Impact Protection include external cushions for maximum crash force absorption and foam-lined quick-adjust head protection for your childÂ’s head and neck.

The no-rethread 9-position harness that easily adjusts to grow with your child, and kids will love the integrated Cup Holders keep drinks, snacks and toys close at hand.

  • Fits harness mode designed for children at least 2 years old and 25 lbs up to 90 lbs and in Booster Mode for children 40 lbs up to 120 lbs.
  • Transitions from Harness to Booster easily by tucking away buckles and straps safely within the seat.
  • SafeWash fabric covers provides safety that holds up in the wash
  • Cover sets maintain safety properties with no added flame retardant chemicals
  • ClickTight Installation System is a secure installation as easy as buckling a seat belt. Simply open the front of the car seat, feed the seatbelt through the indicated path, buckle and click the seat shut. ThatÂ’s all you need to do for rock-solid installation.
  • 3 layers of side impact protection, formed by a deep energy-absorbing shell, quick-adjust head protection and side cushions, absorb energy and shield your child from the most severe type of collision.
  • SafeCell Impact Protection is a safety system including a steel frame, energy-absorbing base and patented V-shaped tether.
    • Impact-absorbing base compresses to reduce the force of a collision.
    • Impact-stabilizing steel frame offers superior strength where you need it most: at the connection point to the vehicle.
    • Patented V-shaped tether minimizes seat rotation with a unique two-strap design and staged-release stitches that slow and reduce forward movement during a crash.
  • No-rethread 9-position harness easily adjusts to grow with your child.
  • Integrated Cup Holders keep drinks, snacks and toys close at hand.
  • Easy-Remove Cover makes cleaning hassle-free.
  • Quick-adjust 2-position buckle moves outward easily as your child gets bigger.
  • Color-coded, easy-access belt paths simplify vehicle seat belt installation.
  • Multiple recline positions allow you to easily adjust the seat angle for your childÂ’s comfort.

Super easy to install! Fabric is squishy and soft, it claims to be “cool flow” I actually think this fabric holds heat more than the regular fabrics .0246974398934E+34; This fabric also was a lot more difficult to get the front bottom attached to the seat. These are minor things and didn’t affect my 5 stars. Love the cup holders and the extra little spot. They are crazy safe and if installed properly do not move at all.
Pros
  • Safe
  • Easy to install
  • Cup holders

Exactly the top quality expected from Britax
By K A.

I plan to keep my kids in a 5-point harness for as long as possible, so I wanted this discontinued version of the convertible booster because it had a higher weight limit on the 5-point harness than the newer model that Britax has come out with. Luckily, this one was still in stock with Albee Baby and arrived quickly, so I didn't have to relocate the other (older model Britax convertable) in my beater car when I bought a new car.

Yes, it is heavy - part of the reason it's not convenient to move between cars, but entirely worth what you get in terms of safety, appearance, comfort, and - of course - the magical two cup holders, which is apparently a big deal to little boys. For me, I like that the cup holders have zero hole, so no spills, and an additional section behind the cup for handles or other small snacks/items.

This seat was easy to install, as promised by both Britax and other customer reviews, and easy to adjust to the right height for my growing child.

I bought the frontier for my oldest son and loved the clicktight feature. I wanted to see if I would love the pinnacle more so I ordered that for my youngest son when he outgrew his rear facing seat. I love the extra protection of it and was surprised with how wide this was compared to the pinnacle. I doubt I could sit these three across if I wasn't in a bigger vehicle. I love them though and the boys and I have been enjoying the carseats.

This is our first Clicktight car seat. We bought it for our 6yr old and we're impressed by the simple genius of the design. It uses your child's body weight to secure the seat belt. We love the Britax brand and will purchase another Clicktight for our younger children.
Exactly what we needed
By Dawn

We have a special needs child that exceeds the 65 pound weight limit for forward facing harness of most car seats and meets the requirements for a booster but lacks the maturity needed to sit properly and/or leave the seat belt alone. The 90 pound weight limit of the Britax Pinnacle solved our problem! Our daughter can now remain in a harnessed car seat. The seat is comfy and roomy. The ClickTight installation is so easy. The seat fits just fine in our Honda Odyssey. While it does fit in our Honda CR-V there really isn't room for a third passenger and reduces the occupancy from a 5 passenger car to a 4 passenger car.

Super Easy Install & Super Soft Textiles
By Michelle

We purchased this seat in order to replace our daughters Britax Advocate and so far we love it! She’s 2.5 and I wanted something she could easily get in and out of on her own which is why we opted to go ahead and get her in a harnessed high back booster, we absolutely loved the Advocate so my expectations were high. The Pinnacle did not disappoint. It is so easy to install with the clicktight technology and the textiles of the safe wash fabric are both super soft! I love that this seat will going to grow with her and last her until she’s old enough and heavy enough to be safely out of a booster seat.
Pros
  • super soft textiles
  • super easy install
  • high harnessed weights
Cons
  • none

Highly recommend this harness booster! It was an adjustment from the Advocate, but took no time getting used to. I know my child is safe in it and that makes for a happy mama.
Pros
  • Straps release super easily (once you figure out where the release button is).
  • Easiest, out of my three, Britax car seats to install.
  • Sturdy!
Cons
  • Doesn?t click when tightening the straps.
  • Have to be cautious of the shoulders when tightening the straps as they can pinch the child if the shoulder pads are not placed just right.
  • Finding the release hook the first time was a major struggle.
Easiest install!

I didn't consider Britax seats until the SafeWash option came out, but we've now purchased two of the ClickTight seats and couldn't be happier with the ease of installing and using them. I can't believe how easily and quickly I can get a super tight installation--where have these seats been all my parenting life??

Even though this seat is a little bulky around the top, I was recently able to install three car seats across a second row (this one plus two Clek Fllo's) by alternating rear-facing with forward-facing.

There are a couple of little quirks with this seat, but neither is a big deal. If you need to adjust the headrest, you have to do it before buckling the seat. And the cover sometimes comes undone from the seat at the lower two corners--there are little plastic clips that don't always stay in place--but again, not a deal-breaker.
Pros
  • --Super easy (and fast!) to get a perfectly tight installation
  • --Easy to clean/maintain
  • --Easy to adjust headrest (no re-threading of harness) before harness is buckled
  • --Not bulky at the bottom, so can sit right next to another rear-facing installed seat if that second seat is also narrow enough at the bottom (like a Cleck Fllo or Diono Radian)
  • --No added flame retardant chemicals in the washable cover
Cons
  • --Heavier and a little bulkier than I'm used to, so takes some extra maneuvering when getting it in or out of the car

This car seat is our 2nd booster product and our 7th Britax item. This booster is also very quality oriented in addition to some great engineered design that makes us feel secure. One connector harness was left out and Albee Baby exchanged my seat before the returned one hit there address. With this team in place for our bundles of joy we have piece of mind. Highly recommend!
Pros

  • Quality Construction

  • Our little ones love the comfort
  • Drink holds are great and placed well
  • Arm rests also placed well
  • Multiple age use
Cons

We transitioned from a Britax Advocate to this Pinnacle and we couldn't be happier. Our daughter loves this seat, and with her growing, it is so much easier for her to get in and out of the seat.
A lot of reviews mentioned how hard it is to tighten down... Not at all! Especially when you rethink how and what you're tightening. This seat will tighten down at the shoulder, rather than the chest. This doesn't mean that it's not snug at the chest, it is, but the method that you move the straps is a bit different. So easy though. Plus, triple side impact protected!!! TRIPLE!!
I called Britax customer service just to confirm. They were so nice. Also, this seat installs SO EASILY!
We 100% recommend this seat.

The best option for your booster seat kiddo!
By Jessica
from Billings, Montana
on February 25, 2019
Verified Buyer
We debated for a long time over which high back booster. We want the safest option for our 40lb, small body, 6 year old boy. Even though at 40lbs he fits the weight requirements for just a booster seat and seat belt, we did not feel that was safe for him. We decided to go with the Britax Pinnacle Harness Booster. I love that he can use the harness for quite a few more pounds, 90lbs to be exact. And then he can continue to use the booster and belt option until 120lbs. The click tight install was super EASY. The Safe Wash- Otto fabric is so slick. Easy on and off, with machine washable and dryer safe! We are so happy with this car seat and my son loves it!

Albee processed my order quickly and the Britax Pinnacle car seat was delivered in a timely manner. The car seat had a recent 2018 manufacture
date .The Albee 20% coupon made it even more affordable. With or without the coupon I would have bought it as I was
looking for the safest car seat on the market.
The seat did take some time to adjust to my grandson and properly install in our SUV. However reading the instructions is very helpful.
If you have other Britax ClickTight products this installs in the same manner. It is a heavy car seat as are most
Britax car seats and I wouldn't want to move this from car to car on a regular basis. We have had no issues
tightening or loosing the straps.
My 4 year old grandson loves his new seat. He sits up high and has a better visual on what is happening
on the road. The built in cup holder is a plus since it also accommodates his drink and
cars too. We are very pleased with this seat and highly recommend it.
Pros
  • This the Cadillac of car seats so you will pay more. The weight is an indicator of how sturdy it is built and the
  • extra layer of protection. It is a very roomy and the extra 4 inches of width in the headrest area wasn't
  • noticeable to us but we installed it in a mid sized SUV.
Impossible to latch after using for about a year

We bought this car seat about a year ago. At first, it worked fine, but now the latch that allows you lock the seat belt down to secure the car seat has become impossible to snap into place. Even with the seatbelt out of the way it has to be slammed into place to get it to secure. Extremely disappointed given the cost of this car seat. Poor quality and design.

Easiest seat to install
By Ken

on November 9, 2018
Verified Buyer
We bought this seat because my kid had a choice of going to a booster in his existing seat or using a full harness in another seat. We already has diono seats, which are great for travelling with. However this seat was by far the easiest seat I have ever installed. It is a very sturdy seat. It's unfortunate it weighs so much, but it weighs similar to the diono. The adjustments are much easier to the diono and allows me to alter it for another child very easily without having to remove the seat. Both the crotch and shoulder harnesses can be adjusted without removing the seat.

This is our 2nd Pinnacle. We bought one for our oldest child several years ago. Our youngest recently out grew his seat and we had no doubts that we wanted a 2nd pinnacle for him. The click tight makes installation a breeze. The safety features are unmatched. This was my first purchase from Albee. I was very happy with the transaction. Most other sites will not apply discounts on Britax, but Albee does. This was by far the best deal. Product shipped immediately. Was happy to see manufacture date was the prior month. It hadn't been sitting in a warehouse for an extended time. Completely satisfied customer!

I bought this car seat for my grandson because of the safety features which you can read about on line. He loves it due to the comfort factor. I think it’s the best overall product of this type you can buy. It will last him until he reaches 120 lbs., he now weighs about 45 lbs. Since it is made very well it will last until then i’am sure. Worth the extra money.

SO HARD to tighten straps
By LizO
from Atlanta, GA
on August 7, 2018
Verified Buyer
I recently moved my (almost) 4 yo to a 5-point harness booster (only a few days ago, actually). We went with the Britax Pinnacle clicktight. We're sort of brand loyal to Britax for the safety of their seats; he was in an Advocate clicktight previously, which we loved. (We only moved him out of it because we moved our youngest out of the infant carrier and into the Advocate.) I read the reviews for the Pinnacle, so I expected that the harness would be difficult to tighten based on the reviews. However, I underestimated just how hard it would be. It literally takes everything in me to tighten the straps properly, and after only a few times of putting him in and pulling with all of my might, it pulls the seat loose, which completely voids the safety of the seat. I'm frustrated, and willing to only give it a few more days to see if we can find a way to keep the seat secure, while also being able to pull the straps tight enough. Almost every reviewer that said the straps were hard to pull also said that they were keeping the seat because of the safety of the seat and they could deal with the difficulty. However, nobody mentioned that they were pulling the seat loose, which is my problem!! It's so frustrating because I want to love this seat, but it's not worth having to reinstall it daily! I should note that the seat is installed using the seatbelt because my child is 40 lbs, which is the weight limit to use the lower anchors. If it is installed using the lower anchors, it doesn't budge when I have to pull (with everything I have) to tighten the straps. I could live with that, BUT I can't live with the seatbelt installation not holding up because I have to pull so hard. It is ridiculous and very frustrating. Otherwise, it's a sturdy, comfortable, amazing seat that I know is safe for my child. If Britax could address and fix the harness issue, it would be a 5 star review!

Tip On How To Easily Tighten Strap
By Greg H.
from Freehold, NJ
on April 30, 2018
Verified Buyer
I have had this seat for a couple of years now and love it. I agree with the other reviews that the strap at the base of the seat between the child's knees which tightens the straps that go over their torso, chest and shoulders is pretty darn hard to pull. Please don't allow this to deter you from buying the seat, it's a minor inconvenience for the best safety for your kid. TIP = If the car seat is on the passenger side rear seat, sit in the drivers seat, facing forward, reach back, grab the strap and pull parallel to the floor toward the front of the car. It works for me every time. The key is to keep the strap parallel as you pull away from the car seat. You can't do this if you are standing outside the car leaning in, because the back of the front seat gets in the way. If the car seat is on the drivers side rear seat, you can try from the drivers seat also, but probably easier if you try from the front passenger seat. Saving $50 - $75 and buying a car seat with less features is not worth my kids life. I will save money else where, like brown bagging my work lunch for a few weeks.

For $50 less right after I bought two of them lol. Oh well that is life I suppose. No regrets as I bought these car seats for my niece she has a four-year-old and a seven-year-old that has not quite reached the weight limit for riding without a harness. We want them harnessed as long as possible. I love how these seats maintain harness ability for longer than others. love the safety features of these car seats and bought them based on the reviews and prior ecperience as I bought a Britax baby car seat for my nephew when he was younger and it held up very well. These were heavy but my niece said she was able to get them in pretty quickly and sent me a video where she was tugging on them hard. she was very impressed and said every other car seat they have ever purchased and installed in their vehicle would always give a little bit when tugged but she was really aggressive with this one and it did not budge. My niece and nephew do not mind receiving a wedding anniversary present of car seats and we feel so much better knowing our family's littlest members are protected with the best booster seats and harnesses available. Grab them on sale now :)
