We have the Britax Frontier 80 in Rushmore and has anyone noticed any fraying or fuzziness on the seat portion of the cover? DD1 hasn't complained, but I am afraid that the issue is going to continue, and it's going to eventually rip and we are planning to use this seat (unless it's in an accident) until it expires in 2018. We bought the seat in October, 2009 (and it's been used on a regular basis since).
If you have noticed fraying and fuzziness on the seat has Britax been good about responding to complaints or replacing the cover?

I can take a photo of the seat tonight when I get home.

FWIW, we have another Frontier in Canyon and I don't believe that it has the same problem, although I will check that also. I am not trying to take advantage of Britax at all, but am just really wondering if this is normal wear and tear or not.

Yep. I bought the FR 80 in the Rushmore fabric and we had some ripping by the harness adjuster within 5 months or so. I called up Britax and they sent me out a new cover (Sahara- non-mesh) right away. Our seat was still under warrenty though. I think since you've had the seat for so long, you might be out of luck. If Britax won't help you out, you can always check swap on here for a Sahara cover or buy one from Britax, but they're a bit $$ from them.

Call Britax. I had that problem with my Pink Sky cover and I did have to wait a while for the new version to come out, but they did replace the cover.
