I shouldn't have looked.

We are purchasing a second set of Britax Frontir XT. We are ordering car seats for our Florida home also. We will be living there full time, in October. We are picking up the second set of Frontiers when we are going out of town this weekend. I love the Maui Blue Frontier 85's. My BF doesn't want pink seats, and the girl's are fine with any cover. I wish that we could get the Maui Blue cover for the Frontier's in Canada. I will be ordering that cover for the Frontier 85's that we are getting for down south, and getting two cowmoo's for up here.

Well... not that I'm endorsing it, but you could always order extra covers for the seats and use them on your CDN seats. Technically they wouldn't have the french warning label stuff on them, but they'd fit just fine and I've known others who have used US Britax covers on their CDN seats.

I don't know what state you're in, but you might want to consider buying Canadian Frontiers to use in the US too.. not the nice covers, but the Canadian seats have more energy absorbing material in the head area than the US seats do. The 85lb weight limit is going to be useless for most kids anyways, and that energy absorbing material could make a significant difference in a collision.

Granted the Canadian seats might not be legal to use in that state (don't know how it works for visitors or if your kids are dual citizens,) but I do have issues with the Frontier 85 not having the same amount of energy absorbing material as the Frontier XT...

I have US covers for my Roundabout and my Boulevard (had to have cowmoo :p). If you can order them when you're in Florida, you're way better off unless you've used a mail service to get items across the CAD boarder. Britax uses UPS and you get pillaged for the brokerage cost :( (try $4 d-ring totalling $35 after taxes and brokerage pillaged!)

we are moving to Miami, Florida. We will be down there until 2019. My BF has a contract offer, for 8 years, to wrestle down there. I being his ring manager have to go with him.
