Britax Frontier is one of the most popular booster seats on the market today. It is so popular because of the high number of safety features found in this seat. This seat is smaller than a traditional convertible car seat, but includes many of the same safety features found in the larger seats. For instance, Britax believes that a safety seat that is easy to install is more likely to be installed correctly. Because of this belief, they have included a color coded vehicle belt guide in the Britax Frontier. This ensures the child will be as secure as possible and avoids improper installation.

The Britax Frontier is designed specifically for children two years and up. The safety rating starts at 25 lbs and goes all the way to 100 lbs. Because of this design, the Britax Frontier is the last car seat a child will need. It will last until the child is big enough to use standard seat belts.

Since this car seat is designed for larger children it requires additional safety features not found in many car seats intended for babies or infants. To minimize movement and ensure maximum protection, the Britax Frontier includes several key safety features, such as, HUGS system, Premium Latch Connectors, and Energy Absorbing Versa Tethers.

HUGS is a rubber enhancement to the traditional strap harness. Officially called the Harness Ultra Guard System, Hugs uses soft rubber dampeners on the safety harness. These lightweight harnesses covers aren’t noticed by the child, but their presence is felt in an accident. The HUGS increase friction between the child and the harness, decreasing movement and making the harnesses more effective.

Securing a car seat using traditional seat belts is troublesome. Done incorrectly, this approach allows any car seat to move wildly in case of an accident. The Premium LATCH Connectors secure directly to the car increasing stability and preventing side to side movement.

Energy Absorbing Versa Tether- In addition to the Premium LATCH Connectors, the Britax Frontier is equipped with an Energy Absorbing Versa Tether. This tether system secures the upper portion of the seat preventing the tipping or tilting effect seen in many car seats during an accident.

The multiple color choices and unique design makes the Britax Frontier an attractive car seat. However, after a few weeks of wear and tear from a confined toddler, any car seat will be covered with crumbs and other messes that can only come from a toddler. To keep this seat looking sharp, Britax included a key comfort feature for the parents, removable, machine washable car seat covers. The cover in the Britax Frontier pops off and can go right into the washer, keeping it as good as new.

With safety, appearance and comfort features abound, it’s no wonder the Britax Frontier is one of the most popular booster seats available. This booster seat will keep your child safe. It will last until there’s no need for a booster seat. When it’s time to pass it down, it can still look as good as new. The only challenge with the Britax Frontier is choosing the color that will best match your car’s interior.
