Question Frontier XT installation

FrauDrA · Oct 12, 2015

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Our car seat situation had been stable for a while, but now needs to be shuffled again. The SKJP Radian I had in my parents' car for my littlest has expired, so I'm moving our Frontier XT from our Volvo to their Hyundai? My eldest had been using it in booster mode for a long time, it will be used in harness mode in my parents' vehicle.

Can I still install it with LUAS in their car, a 2006 Santa Fe. (Passenger is about 20kg) Or do I need to go with the seatbelt install? Not sure what the LUAS limits are in their car...

Thanks!

Time to switch to a belt install at that weight - do you know how to do the long belt path? It's often the go to on that seat.

I've never done a seatbelt install with that seat, I'll make sure I'm not doing it when in a rush!

If you do a google search for "Britax Frontier long belt path), you'll see a video by The Car Seat Lady and a video by Britax. If you watch both of them before you try it out, it should make a lot more sense.

Thanks!

I installed it yesterday - what a pain! I've gotten used to the easy seatbelt install of our Frontier Click Tight, so this was a shock. In the end, I used the short belt path install, the seatbelt wasn't long enough for me to do the long path. My parents are picking up the kids after school, so my littlest will have his first trip in this seat before the day is out.
