    Thoughts on Britax Frontier at higher weights

    Hi. I posted a couple days ago about being unable to get our Graco Nautilus installed using the seat belt. I've tried everything and I still am not comfortable with the install. No great car seat techs in our area. The other seat I have not being used is a Britax Frontier clicktight. I loved...

    Britax Seat Protector Mat??

    Hi. I have a Britax Frontier Click Tight for my tall 3 year old son. It is installed in the center seat in my 2016 Ford Escape. My son love sitting in the center as he can see more and I feel he is safest there. The seat is installed with seatbelt. I find that although I get a really tight...

    Pathfinder Question

    I currently lease a 2016 Ford Escape, we have just over 1 year left on our lease so we are starting to look at options. We have 1 son who is 2.5 and rides in a Britax Frontier. We are hoping to foster/adopt a 2nd child but we will not (most likely) have more than 2 kids. But I am also looking at...

    Deciding on New Infant Seat

    Need to replace infant seat that was in minor car accident. It was a 2014 Britax B Safe so not the current version. I will be reimbursed by insurance at that seat retailed for $169.99 so I am hoping to stay right around that price point and am hopeful to take advantage of good pricing this...

    Very Minor Accident

    I am so incredibly mad at myself. There is never a car in our turnaround spot but there was today and I back into it VERY hard. My father in laws truck is fine, I am fairly certain i hit his hitch plate. However my 2016 Ford Escape suffered some damage, multiple cracks to the plastic parts and...

    Chicco Nextfit CX- Slight Lean

    I've emailed Chicco as well but I noticed today my son's Nextfit leans slightly. It's installed rear facing in the center of my 2016 Ford Escape with seat belt. He is almost 2 and 30lb. The Nextfit seems to slip slightly into the slit in the back seat (where you would sit) that exists because...

    Suggestions on Next Seat

    My son will be 2 soon and is VERY tall for his age. He is still rear facing in a Chicco Nextfit and will be at least through his 2nd birthday. I know it's recommended to rear face even longer, we will see....I have heard a lot of reviews that the Nextfit isn't always a comfy seat front facing...

    Question Toddler Slumping/Slouching/Scooting Down

    Are there any safety concerns when a toddler intentionally slumps/slouches in car seat? I really don't think I can stop him from doing this. As soon as I put him in his car seat he scoots himself down so it looks like he is slumping/slouchy. He is 19 months old 34" and 27lb, tall for his age...

    Small Infant Fit/Support

    Just a 'what if' question. My husband and I are foster parents and are officially open for another placement (we have 1 adopted son). Most likely our next placement will be a very young infant. We have a Britax B Safe infant seat that was purchased in 2014 so not the most recent model. It came...

    Occasional Booster Use??

    My niece just turned 4 and is 30lb, I don't know her exact height but she is wearing size 5 clothes. Next school year she may ride the bus a couple days a week to my house after preschool. She is pretty mature for her age and follow direction well. 90% of the time we won't need to go anywhere...

    Question Allowed??

    I have an 18 month old rear facing in a Chicco Nextfit CX in a 2016 Ford Escape. It's not always practical to remove his shoes but I find the back of the backseat getting dirty from his shoes touching. Is it allowed to put a towel or something between the carseat and the seat back?? What do...
