Britax FRONTIER 85 SICT Booster Seat + Giveaway

With Evan being 4 years old, it is time to look for a booster that is going to last for many years – especially since it seems like the age that they recommend children to be in car seats goes up each year. Britax has been one of my favorites for many years because I feel like my children are extremely protected while riding in their car seats. At 2 1/2, Isabella is still in her ADVOCATE CS Convertible Car Seat, but is now facing forward. The Britax Frontier 85 Sict Booster Seat has been a fantastic transition for Evan.

Designed with advanced technology to keep children protected and in a five-point harness for as long as possible, the FRONTIER 85 SICT Combination Harness-2-Booster Seat helps safely graduate children who are at least two years old and weigh at least 25 pounds from their convertible car seats. By removing the harness, the FRONTIER 85 SICT is easily converted to a booster seat for older children who are at least 4 years old and 40 pounds.

The FRONTIER 85 SICT has all the safety, comfort, and ease-of-use features that the FRONTIER 85 has to offer. In addition, this seat is equipped with Side Impact Cushion Technology (SICT) for advanced side impact protection, and an Easy-Remove Cover that can be removed for cleaning without disassembling the harness or uninstalling the seat from your vehicle.

While he is most likely 40 pounds, I will stick to the five-point harness option on this car seat for as long as possible. Once I feel comfortable removing the harness, it converts into a booster seat that he can use with a regular seat belt until he no longer needs to sit in a seat. As you can see above, he can use the Frontier 85 until he is 120 pounds and/or 65 inches tall.

Unlike many boosters on the market, this one provides Side Impact Cushion Technology which features energy-absorbing cushions on the exterior of the child seat to reduce side impact crash energy by 45% by diverting crash forces away from your child and providing extra protection for the adjacent passenger. The headrest is easily adjusted to fit your child’s height as they grow.

There are two cup holders so that they can have a snack cup and drink cup at arms reach. There is also an arm rest on each side to help provide a secure fit.

While the Frontier 85 Sict is larger than most Booster Seats, I feel more comfortable with my precious cargo riding around in this one. It has more safety features than most that I’ve seen and having it be a little larger than others means there is more padding and protection surrounding him. The seat was very easy to install and has many features that allow the seat to grow with your child. Visit Britax to learn all of features that the Frontier 85 Sict Booster Seat offers.
