BRITAX has been a leader in mobile safety for more than 70 years, with a legacy of leadership in developing innovations that enhance the safety of child car seats and improve their ease of installation and use. Hubby uses a Britax Car Seat for our Little Guy in his car. It’s a brand I trust the baby’s life with!
I’m a bargain shopper for most items, using coupons for mostly everything I purchase but car seats are one item I do not skimp on. In addition to meeting and exceeding all required standards set forth by federal regulatory agencies, BRITAX products are also consistently rated amongst the best by both top North American testing organizations and consumer organizations. They are constantly receiving consumer awards for excellence as well for excellence as well.
BRITAX is the best-selling child car seat in Europe and one of the brands most trusted by American parents and caregivers since entering the U.S. market in 1996. Their products undergo the most rigorous testing in the industry at five BRITAX testing facilities worldwide. They also work closely with vehicle manufacturers to encourage design improvements that enhance the performance of child car seats. They are in constant communication with consumers and child safety advocates to make sure that their fabulous car seats are installed and used correctly! Is it any wonder BRITAX Car Seats are the most coveted Car Seat in America?
I was Blessed to receive a Britax FRONTIER 85 Car Seat for me and My Little Guy to review.
This is the car seat that is going to grow with my Little Guy. The Britax 85 is not only a car seat it’s a booster seat! It’s called a harness to booster seat. Used in the harness mode it’s appropriate for children 2 years & 25, up to 85 lbs. In the booster mode this seat can accommodate children weighing up to 120 lbs who are up to 5’5”.
When the car seat arrived Hubby and I took it out of the box and inspected it. It’s incredibly sturdy, cushy and so well made. Hubby smiled and remarked at the two cup holders which are a standard feature on the Britax FRONTIER 85 Car Seat. While not a safety feature it is neat for child to be able to keep their sippy cup close at hand while traveling! What really impressed Hubby and I were the safety features, which is the reason why you purchase a car seat in the first place.
Product Safety Features
True Side Impact Protection – Side impact crashes are the most serious ones. These can cause serious head, neck and spine damage if your child is not restrained properly in his car seat. True Side Impact Protection offers an extra layer of energy-absorbing foam in the head area and keeps the head, neck and spine in true alignment in case of a crash. Energy absorbing foam is placed within the deep walls to distribute crash forces, shield the body and contain the head, neck and body should an accident occur.
Highest Five-Point Harness Seat Capacity allows your child to remain harnessed up to 85 lbs and is comprised of straps or webbing that extend over your child’s hips, shoulders/collar bones, and between their legs. There is no tangling, and the harness heights can be adjusted as your child grows. 10 positions make for a perfect fit and there are 3 buckle positions to keep your child fastened securely.
Quick-Adjust, No-Rethread Harness – A quick-adjust harness system allows you to adjust the height of the harness straps without having to detach the straps from the metal yoke on the back of the seat, re-thread them through a new slot and reattach them to the metal yoke. This makes repositioning the shoulder height easy peasy which allows for a snug fit and that minimize injury in case of a crash.
Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether®features a staged-release tether webbing to slow the forward movement, reducing the crash forces reaching the child, and a two-point attachment to minimize forward rotation while anchoring the top of the child seat. Car Seats that feature an Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether can help minimize injury during a crash by diverting crash force away from your child, minimizing the movement of your child and slowing down the movement of your child’s body during a crash. Click HERE for more information on the Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether.
