4.00 rating Love Britax! By
March 28, 2012
I really like this car seat. I have not had the problems with the arm rests. I researched car seat boosters for many weeks. I chose Cybex booster....got it home used it for my 3.5 year old. Loved it but it had only the shoulder belt to secure him. He kept pulling top of the belt that comes down from his shoulder and he would place that under his arm. Until Cybex starts supplying USA with their Pappas Booster....I will continue to own Britax.
5.00 rating Britax will stand behind this set By

We own these for our twins... and like the review above stated one of the arm rests broke when I (being a large guy) placed too much weight on it leaning across the back of the car...

However, after a call to Britax where I explained my mishap, they shipped me 2 new armrests totally free of charge with new screws. So you simply remove 2 screws and install the new armrest.

Britax stands behind their product even when a Dad's mistake caused the issue in the first place.
3.00 rating Great, but some junky parts By

I guess that's par for the course these days. I've owned a number of Britax car seats, and love all of them. The arm rest on this one detached from the body of the seat by way of its plastic fastener two days after I installed it. I can probably reattach it somehow, but after paying $300 for something you'd think they would have engineered the arm rests to be a bit sturdier.

I-Parcel Shipment U: 5 points safer option for my child and he can't escape as easily 11/27/2012
Anonymous asked: Is this seat really worth the extra $40-$50 dollars than the Frontier without the SICT technology?
Staff Answer: The FRONTIER 85 SICT is designed to provide the ultimate in safety for high capacity car seats, with True Side Impact Protection with a one-hand, adjustable harness height system, Versa-Tether? and engineered energy management zones, making it safer for your child. The Side Impact Cushion Technology features energy-absorbing cushions on the exterior of the child seat to reduce side impact crash energy by 45%, by diverting crash forces away from your child and providing extra protection for the adjacent passenger, while the true side impact protection distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, contains the head and body, and keeps the head, neck and spine ?in true? or aligned position, in order to limit injury. The addition of the SICT system on this seat will better protect your child in the event of a crash.
