Re: Britax Pinnacle 90
Oh no! I just bought a booster! (haven't used it yet) What to do?!
Love the look of the cactus flower and broadway, but I doubt I'd consider the SICT and I wonder how they feel. I don't think it looks that different than the 85, or are you talking about the SICT?
Speaking of boosters, I really wish I knew if they'd be coming out with a new booster. Seriously, I don't know what to do. I had enough trouble making the decision without this possible new option with too many unknowns to know anything, really.
Does that mean it's even more exciting? What are you doing to me?! When? When?
I guess I'm in the minority, but I prefer a simple locking belt install. However, if they're optional ...

Re: Britax Pinnacle 90
I'm trying to focus on the fact that it's only a 1/2 inch taller. But I still think I'll want it and won't be able to afford to replace my 85s, especially after this change probably decreases the 85's price, thus resale price as well.

I'm going to save up for it for the safe cell technology. I'd much rather have the boy have that in my suburban since I can't tether.

Under Details it says 20.5" so as tall or taller.

Re: Britax Pinnacle 90
I really really love that cactus flower print, but I don't really have a need for DD1 to be harnessed anymore. She is doing so great in a booster, even on long trips! I might consider the Zebra one for DS though. I have been begging them to make a Zebra FR85 for a while

Looks like the Cosco Prospect
Oh I hope they don't install similar to the prospect, ugh.

Oh me too, but it makes it sound like they've changed the install which could be good.

Why does nobody think Zebra is boyish?

Re: Britax Pinnacle 90
I think it is. DS had a zebra BLVD and it doesn't look girly at all IMO. I'd call it very gender neutral.

Oh, I think it's completely gender neutral.
When I say "boyish" I mean something other than pink, black, or grey. It seems like seats only come in those colors. The girls have flowers but there are never any sports or trucks or anything.

Re: Britax Pinnacle 90
the "boy" prints you all mention are really short lived, wheras flowers are appropriate for girls from birth till 101 years old. Trucks are only an interest for a few years in the grand scheme of things. I just want solid colors that aren't pink. (Red, Orange, green, blue, purple)

Yeah, my 6 year old wouldnt be very happy with trucks, sports, or dinos n such. Maybe a few years ago..
Id love to see grown up boy prints like cool colored graffiti, skulls, or like a solid with an asymetrical vertical stripe on one side. I dont know. But more interesting boy prints would rock.

Re: Britax Pinnacle 90
The description said something about up front recline. Much better than flipping that recline paddle. I've helped a couple of friends with 85s and no one has it flipped correctly for harness.
Love that the harness height can be adjusted without uninstalling. For those whose cars don't have reclining seat backs to stick your hand back there. Looks like they took some good things about the BLVD and put them on the FR. Unfortunately I need a new harnessed seat like I need a giant, gaping hole in my head though.
I hope it's really not 30 lbs. That would be insane. And really exempt most people from using latch at all ever if the seat has a starting child weight of 25 pounds. Though then they could just not put latch on the seat at all.
If they can't up the latch limits to like 100lbs, I think only infant seats should come lower anchor equipped so there is no mistaking the limits. I'm not talking top tether here - just lower anchors. All convert's and FFing only should be seatbelt installs with top tethers to some high max. I know latch is supposed to simplify but it has just made everything way more confusing to the everyday parent.
