    Short Version: Please tell me how easy it is supposed to be open the Click Tight on the Britax Frontier. Long Version: DS finally outgrew his RFing seats, but due to his bone-age delay, we want to keep him harnessed, so we got a Frontier (manufacture date is Apr 2016). We heard they were SO...

    Which RFing seat?

    DS is getting close to outgrowing the Truefit by weight (and, if the Endocrinologist and the Gastroenterologist have their way, he'll be gaining weight quickly and SOON!), so we need a new RFing seat for him. We had planned to turn him FFing, but with the test results showing his bone age at...
