Britax USA Grow with You ClickTight Harness-2-Booster Car Seat Review:- Pros

The new model of the Britax USA Grow with You ClickTight Harness-2-Booster Car Seat is getting rave reviews and has received top-notch ratings from hundreds of reviewers at diapers.com, amazon.com, and toysrus.com.

This is a real change from the previous model of the Britax Frontier 85 which received mix reviews.

One of the main comments you will see again and again throughout the message boards is that the Britax USA Grow with You ClickTight Harness-2  is “worth the money” because you can’t put a price on safety and this is one of the safest seats money can buy.

Users love that they can keep their child in a 5-point harness until 85 lbs and can’t believe that a 4, 5 and even 6-year-old can still use the 5-point harness.

When a child outgrows the harness or gets to the age when they insist on graduating to using the car’s safety belt, the seat can transform to a high back belt-positioning booster seat.

The Britax USA Grow with You ClickTight also comes with superb side impact protection and the adjustable side impact head wings are great for supporting a child’s head during nap time.

The seat is well padded, comfortable, and provides lots of room for older and larger children (users report that six-year-olds fit with room to grow!), yet it is not so bulky that it takes up too much room.

Two other passengers can still ride in the back seat along with the Frontier.

Parents love the built-in cup holders and overall feel that this is the best forward-facing harness to the high back booster car seat on the market.

Britax USA Grow with You ClickTight Harness-2-Booster Car Seat Review :- Cons

There are very few negative reviews for the Britax USA Grow with You ClickTight Combination Harness to Booster car seat.

One of the main complaints users have is that the car seat is hard to install without the Latch system—and after your child reaches a certain weight it is no longer safe to use the Latch and you will need to switch to using the seat belt to secure the Frontier.

However, many other reviewers respond that the seat is not that hard to install and if you take a few minutes to read the installation manual or watch a youtube installation video, then securing the Frontier in your car is rather easy.

But, several users find the installation difficult.

Another complaint is that the seat is heavy—but you won’t be lifting and carrying this seat often.
