Hi,
I need to get a new convertible seat for my 3.5 year old son (34 lbs, 38"). I was staying away from Britax Clicktight due to the harness issues, but it appears those are resolved now, however not much has been posted recently on them.
I am second guessing whether to get the clicktight due to this and the cost. I do need to use the seat belt in one of our cars as it doesn't have latch so easy seatbelt installation with a lockoff is important. I have gotten very good at moving around the G3 seats with latch.
Anyone have experience installing the Britax G4.1 seats using seatbelts? Is it easy to remove fabric, route belt & lockoff?
I have a Britax Frontier clicktight already, but he looks small in it and would like to put him back in a convertible for a while longer.
From the specs, it looks like the only difference is additional shoulder height. It also looks like it has higher sides.
He is already FF, and was used to a Boulevard G3. I have my 1-year old RF in a Chicco Nextfit, which was the only seat I could find that fit in our car (2016 MDX) at the correct angle (tried Foonf & Peg Perego first). Foonf blocked view on passenger side and didn't allow enough legroom on driver side. Plus it was very hard to install compared to Britax. The only issue with the Nextfit is it sits very low so my little one can only see the seat when we are driving, so I don't want to get another one.
Sorry for the rambling post, my wife thinks I am obsessed with car seat safety ever since our parked car got totaled by a hit & run driver. I just keep thinking what would have happened if her and the kids were still in the car and now want to make sure they are as safe as possible.
