Using this as a harnessed seat for our 5-year-old son. He finds it very comfortable and loves the cupholders. I wish it had adjustable harness height without removing the seat or a way to remove the cover for washing without taking it apart, as installing it is far more difficult than any other seat...

Awesome seat!

What a great seat - comfortable, easy to install and stylish. I know I can always count on Britax to make a very high quality product. My only concern is that the SecureGuard device should be included standard with both the 85 and the 85 SICT. I suspect that many people who would otherwise use it...

I absolutely LOVE all Britax car seats. My son is very comfortable in his Frontier 85 and I know he is safe. He has one in all cars he rides in, including Grandma's. Best investment. We are getting ready to buy a set for his little sister who is quickly outgrowing her Marathon classic.

This is our third Britax seat. We have a Roundabout and a Marathon, but our 4 year- old is growing out of them very quickly (she's light but she's tall.) We decided to upgrade to a booster but insisted on getting one that has a 5-pt. harness as we wanted to ensure she is as safe as possible.

I bought this when it first came out and have been extremely happy with how securely it keeps my son in his seat. It installs securely in my car with the long belt method. There are two things I wish were different, though. I wish there was a way to change the height while the seat was still install...

I love how bulky and heavy the seat its, nothing compares to the craftmanship in this car seat. Yes, it may be a little expensive,...

Carseat safety is a big deal to me. I get a little obsessive about it at times, but hey, we all have our “things” and this is mine.
