Britax Frontier: A Consumer Review

The Britax Frontier booster seat is designed for larger children weighing 40 lbs to 100 lbs. The seat is equipped with the usual safety features that Britax seats are famous for. The Frontier is known as one of the tallest booster seats in the market, with an easily adjustable harness height and head rest.

The features of the Britax Frontier are the following:

  • Weighs 26.4 pounds and measures 26.4 x 19.8 x 19.4 inches
  • True Side Impact Protection - protects your child more from impact by distributing the crash forces, shielding the body from vehicle intrusion and lessens your baby’s side-to-head movement to lessen the chances of injury
  • Energy-Absorbing Base - it absorbs strong impact by deforming in the event of a crash
  • Harness-2-Booster - transforms the Frontier into a belt-positioning booster seat
  • Front Harness Adjuster - allows you to adjust the front of the harness effortlessly
  • Premium Push-Button Lower LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) Connectors - allows you to install the car seat quickly and easily
  • HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard System) - this patented feature reduces your baby’s forward head movement and provides enough cushion to the chest in the event of a strong impact
  • Patented, Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether - minimizes forward movement of your baby in the event of a crash with the staged-release tether webbing, which secures the top part of the seat at two points

The Britax Frontier also has durable and washable covers, high-density comfort foam and color-coded vehicle belt guides which provide more safety for your child.

Installation is very easy with the Britax Frontier because of the premium push-button LATCH. Your child’s safety is ensured with the five-point harness, which secures the body by fitting into the collarbone, shoulders and hips. This produces a snug but comfortable fit for your child. The Frontier also has deep side walls and adjustable head support which protects the head and the body from strong impact. The cushions of the seat are made for advanced-shock absorption, which helps greatly in reducing the chances of injury. The side walls help contain the child’s head movements and provides protection for violent side-to-side movement.

The Britax Frontier provides comfort and convenience for you and your child especially during long trips. The high-density foam cushions your child’s body so he can just sit back and enjoy the ride. The seat has dual cup holders that are easily within your little one’s reach. Your child can easily snooze peacefully during the trip, which contributes to peaceful driving for you.

The LATCH installation is a little different from other Britax car seats. Unlike the Britax Marathon and the Britax Roundabout, the LATCH buckles of the Britax Frontier are recessed into the body of the car seat. In order to get this right, you must consult the manual. There are some parents, who already have experience using Britax seats, who had some difficulty with the LATCH installation. This is because they did not read the manual first, thinking that the installation would be the same as the other Britax car seats.

The Britax Frontier booster seat is available in different styles and colors. For your little boy, you can choose either the Sahara or the Canyon, with its classic, neutral colors. For your little girl, you can go for the very cute hues of the Pink Sky, with its striking black and pink fabric color. For something wacky that will suit both boys and girls, go for the Cowmooflage seat, with its delightful cow-patterned fabric.

Britax recently issued a voluntary safety recall for some of its Frontier seats to address the issue with harness straps.
