Britax Frontier 85 SICT Car Seat in Onyx - E9LE31A

Good car seat. Good quality. The downside is that its bulky, and a lot more expensive than others in its category. But I do think its safer, and thats what counts.

Product Review

We got a Britax Regent for my oldest a few years ago. He is 6 years 50 lb now. Britax doesnt sell that model anymore but it is probably the Frontiers predecessor. The Frontier is so much better than the Regent in a lot of little ways. The cup holders are perfect (size, location, etc.). The cover is perfectly secured (the Regents cover is barely secured in the back so it NEVER stays attached, crumpling down towards my sons head neck). The straps never get tangled (our non-Britax seats always do, the Regent always does). It is MUCH more petite than the Regent. I was prepared to rearrange our whole seating arrangement to accommodate the monster seat I thought would be arriving (such as blocking the DVD player because of height). I didnt have to change a thing! This seat is only a little bit taller than our small convertible seat (the kind that only go to 40 lb). This seat is a great seat to last you through all of the stages of car seat needs. I wish Id had this for my son in the Regent. As it is, well probably put him into it because it even has a booster seat setting! He can use that as a booster while my middle (4 years 40 lb) uses the Regent with its monstrous size, sloppy cover, tangly straps, and no cup holders. Sorry for the Regent vs. Frontier review, but when I was shopping I was looking for exactly that. So this is especially for you mamas who are looking for a 2nd Regent. Get the Frontier because it is definitely the new and improved Regent!

Perfect. Earlier than promised.

This Frontier 85 SICT 3 in 1 car seat is for my almost 3 year old son. We have owned a Britax Boulevard CS since he moved out of the chico keyfit infant carrier. I think Britax is the best money can buy. It is one heavy duty car seat. We use it with the five point harness still. He was just getting too tall for his boulevard. I have it installed in my Ford Expedition. I do want people to be aware how big it is. The top where it has the flared out side protection really takes up a lot of room. Our son is an only child so for us we still keep his seat in the middle. It would be difficult to install this seat in a small car. Also it might not work if you needed more than one car seat. In that case I would go with the Britax Frontier 85. This car seat is not one I would want to switch out among vehicles even when it is being used just as a booster with the vehicles seat belt. It is just too heavy, but I feel that this is the best protection for my son.

Service Review

First time to use Wayfair. It took several weeks for the product to ship, but they told me that up front. It actually arrived before the estimated ship date. The box was sunk in the top, but that is a result of the way Britax packages the car seat. There is a lot of empty space at the top and the freight carrier probably set something heavy on top of the box. Nothing was damaged in the process. Will use Wayfair again when the need arises.

I believe my daughter is very safe in this seat and it will last her until she no longer needs a booster, plenty of grow room. Seat is comfortable and easy to keep clean.
