Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Reviews
First — the recall. It is not really a recall where the entire seat is faulty and being sent back to the manufacturer. Instead, Britax says that if you pull out one strap and not the other and do this frequently, the straps may come off. I would think you would notice this but all parents hurry sometimes and may not! So you send in your product information and Britax is sending out a new piece which will prevent this problem before it happens. So to me, this does not negate the safety or performance of the seat.

My son is almost 4 and he loves this seat. It is a little trickier to use then his last seat, which was a Britax Roundabout, however, I think this is largely just because after almost 3 years of the Roundabout, we know how to use it so easily. My complaints would be that the bottom strap seems to be set in too far — I have to retrieve it from under my son every time in order to buckle it. At first I felt the straps got twisted too easily, but this must have been “user error” as it ceased to happen after the first couple of weeks.

My son finds the seat comfortable. His only complaint is that he cannot see out the window as well because of the very large head side guards. He loves the TWO cupholders although actually in my car, the cupholder nearest the door cannot be used as there is no space to pull it out — it hits the door.

The seat is good looking which, while it may seem silly, is important to us. Why? Because I want my son to use this seat for the next 4 or more years and if he thinks it is “red like a race car”, then that makes my life easier!

The main reason I purchased this seat was that you can use it with the harness up to 80 pounds. HOWEVER — the Safeguard Go hybrid booster is up to 60 pounds and is much less expensive and my son may be outside the height limits for the booster before 80 pounds. The problem I had with the Safeguard is it required a LATCH tether and my car does not have a tether.
