When it comes to getting my kids in the vehicle, car seats are extremely important to me. I want to make sure they’re fastened in the proper way and that they’re always comfortable. I don’t ever want my child to be uncomfortable in a car seat. Both of my daughters are still in car seats because they’re 4 and 6.
I’m always on the look out for a great car seat for my daughters. The features of each car seat are what can really catch my attention as well as what the appropriate age, height or weight is. The car seats that I have always gone for, have been those that can be used from the ages of birth on up to about a 100 lb limit. I think these are great because you don’t have to buy a new car seat for years. You’ll spend a certain price and use it for many years with your children.
I was recently given the opportunity to review a car seat from Britax. The car seat I was given is called the Frontier Clicktight. I was extremely excited to be able to try out this car seat with my daughters. I knew it was going to be a great fit for them. This car seat can be used as a forward facing harness or a booster. Both of my daughters weigh a little under 40 lbs., so I know that this car seat is going to last them a long time. They’re both in the 40 inch range as well.
I was very surprised to see how beautiful this car seat was. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a brand new car seat. It is a bit on the heavier side (25 lbs.), which is actually a good thing because of all the wonderful features it has. You couldn’t get a light car seat with all these amazing features.
One of the reasons I really love this car seat is because it’s easy to tighten and loosen the straps. I have always had a difficult time doing this with my old car seats. With this car seat, it’s so simple. There is a button hidden underneath that you push and while keeping it pushed when you pull on the straps to loosen them. Then you just pull on the bottom strap located at the bottom of the front of the car seat to tighten it.

My youngest daughter Tesla, who is four, loved being in the car seat. She’s very small for her age, so I like to keep her strapped in nicely still. She’s only about 37 lbs and I believe she’s about 40 inches, maybe a little taller. This car seat fit her very comfortably.

The Frontier ClickTight is a top-selling seat that pairs an extra layer of side impact protection along with the super-easy ClickTight Installation System – so you know your child is always properly secured.
- The ClickTight Installation System gives you the safest and easiest installation every time so you can be certain your loved one is safe.
- Safeguards your child with an extra layer of side impact protection, an impact-absorbing base and steel frame.
- Easily adjusts with the push of a button – no need to rethread the harness.
- Wraps your child in comfort with premium padding and fabric.
- Includes car seat and removable harness padding.
The quick adjust harness helps you adjust to your childs height. As your child grows you can move it up more so they fit securely in. You can adjust it by pulling up to make it taller for children that are taller in height or you can move it down to make it lower for a child that is smaller in height. It’s very simple to adjust. You’ll want the harness straps to be as close to your childs shoulder level as possible. This can help protect your children during a car crash.
The CLICKTIGHT is a very important feature of this car seat. You can click on the CLICKTIGHT button to open up a piece that is where you put the seatbelt to make sure it’s secure. This helps so that the car seat doesn’t move around. I’ve made sure the seat is secure by wiggling it around to make sure it didn’t move. It was very secure and stayed in place. It never moved once. Once the seatbelt is secured in place, you can push back down on the piece and it will click back in place. It’s a very simple feature and very effective. It took me less than 20 seconds to get the seatbelt secured so that the seat didn’t move. It’s amazing how quick and easy this feature is.
If you move open the CLICKTIGHT you’ll locate two slots in the CLICKTIGHT cover. If you squeeze those you’ll open up a storage area that has lower connectors in it. These lower connectors can be used to secure the car seat more. To release them you can press and hold on the red release buttons. Then you can pull on them and they will get released. To get them back in the storage area you are able to “click” them back in place by just pushing them into a slot. I love this option a lot and it’s nice that they’re hidden in a storage area.
The cup holders/storage are a nice touch to the car seat. I love having the cup holders closer to my child because they usually use the ones that are in our vehicles. They can’t always reach for their drinks and they have to ask my husband or I to get their drinks for them. This can be a huge problem when it’s just me in the car driving my girls somewhere. I can’t reach for their cups while they’re driving. This is why I love the cup holders on the car seat because they can reach for their drinks themselves. They could even put some toys or maybe even a few snacks in the holders. They definitely come in handy for my children.
The 2 layers of side protection are great for keeping your children comfortable. They’re also great for head protection. My kids seem to fall asleep in the car a lot, and usually their heads go down because the car seat doesn’t have enough protection to keep their heads up. This car seat is great for helping them when they fall asleep.
Car seat safety is extremely important to me, and should be to everyone. You always want to make sure you’re properly putting your child in their car seat. It can be easy to do it the wrong way, so make sure you’re taking the time to check out all the instructions when you get a new car seat. Brixy stores are located coast-to-coast and each store’s knowledgeable staff can advise parents on current laws and more importantly, best practice. You can also check out your state laws on car safety. Every state can be different, so make sure to check in with them.
After using this Britax Frontier clicktight car seat with my children, I saw how easy it was and how well my child fit in it. I can see that this car seat is going to be long-lasting for my girls. It’s great for those that love car seats that can move up in size when the children get older. I’ve always loved car seats that can be used for different sizes and ages. I would certainly highly recommend this car seat to anyone.

That is a really nice car seat! Brittax is known for being a great brand!
They sure are. This car seat is so wonderful!
We love our Britax. It is all we ever owned and all I will own. We have the same one as you and my kiddo still uses it 3 years after we bought it.
That’s great to hear. I’m glad you love them too!
That looks like a great seat. I love that lock design, and the head guards are great.
It is an amazing seat. I really love the ClickTight feature. It’s really nice to have.
What a great car seat. I wish my sister had had something that nice when her kids were babies. Car seats weren’t nearly that nice back then.
Right! I’m so happy they have this brand because this car seat is really nice. They’ve all come a long way with car seats.
I have never heard of this brand before but it looks like a good car seat. Thankfully my kids are at the end of the booster seat age.
It is a really nice car seat. It’s got so many features.
I am past the point of needing car seats. If I were buying though, Britax would be what I would buy.
That’s great to hear you’d use these if you could. I know when my kids are out of car seats there will always be grandkids when they get much older. 🙂
My little guys are past the car seat age, but I remember how much time I put into picking one! I think the Britax looks like a safe great choice that any parent can feel good about putting their kiddos into!

You’re welcome. It’s a very nice car seat.
This looks like a great car seat. I love that it is three seats in one.
It’s more like two in one. One for the harness and one for the booster. 🙂
I love the safety features of this car seat! And my daughter would love the added cupholders. She loves having cupholders in her chairs. I really love that it is 3 seats in one to last longer.
It has a lot of amazing features. It’s actually more like a couple seats in one. One for harness and the other for booster. It’s so nice too!
My daughter will be needing a new carseat soon. This looks like such a great option. I love how it can grow with your child.

That’s great to hear. I think you’ll love the car seats too. This one is really nice! I’m very happy with it.
Wow! What an awesome car seat! They didn’t have car seats like this when my children were younger. I have to tell my cousin to check this out! Love it!
It certainly is an amazing car seat. I also wish they had some of these when I was younger. I’m so glad they have come such a long way. There are so many more improvements they have made.
I love that you feel it is long lasting and the click tight technology makes so much sense. Car seats are so important for so long with kids these days.
They sure are very important. It’s nice to have a car seat that lasts a while too.

Thank you! This post is perfect timing as I am in the market for a car seat!
I hope you’ll consider this car seat or at least the brand. They do have some really nice car seats and the features are amazing.
These look like really good car seats!! I don’t need one right now (no kids) but I will definitely pass this on to my friends who do!
Thanks. I hope they like what they see. This car seat is a very nice one. I love all the great features.
That looks like an awesome car seat! My daughter is just about to move into a booster seat, but I wish I had known about this brand when she was younger!
I just learned about them myself recently too. I’m so glad I did because this car seat is so nice. The features are wonderful.
I really love how you covered all the specs! A car seat really does have to do a lot of work to keep the kids safe nowadays. Thanks for the insight. I have a couple mommas-to-be asking around so I’ll spread the word.
You’re welcome. I hope they like what they see. Britax is an amazing brand and this car seat is certainly nice.
We used a Britax for years, and then gave it to my niece for her boys when our kiddo outgrew it. They make excellent car seats!
That’s great to hear you love them too. They sure do make some great car seats.
We finally invested in a similar carseat for our twins. Best thing we could have done for their safety and our budget.
That’s great to hear. I love the Britax brand.
We need a new car seat for our three year old too! This is just what I was looking for, for my son!
I hope you’ll check in to this car seat. It’s so nice and has many great features.
Looks like a super heavy duty car seat. My kids are old enough to not use a car seat.
It is very nice. The safety features are so great.
What a neat carseat. My friend’s baby is now 6 months old. Before we know it, he would already be needing a carseat like that. I will share this with my friend.
Thanks for wanting to share! I hope she likes what she sees. It truly is a great car seat.
This looks like a very nice carseat. I should have gotten something like this for my son.
It certainly is a great car seat. I love that my children are comfortable in it and they have great safety features.
So important. My daughter loves her carseat; we just got a new one recently as a gift and she was more excited than us! Cupholders are super necessary, too… for random toys, of course.
They safety of car seats are extremely important..I agree about the cup holders. They are a nice touch!
WOW, they sure have changed over the years. I love how it harnesses them in the legs.
They sure have! They’ve gotten so much better with all the safety features too.
That’s our car seat! I love it. I feel really good about the safety of my kids. Best investment ever.
That’s great to hear! I’m glad you love it as well.
All four of my children used Britax carseats; they’re amazingly comfortable! Most importantly they have the most up to date safety as you mentioned. The added cup holders and storage tray would have been great for my kids!
That’s so great to hear! I’m glad your kids used them as well. They sure do have a lot of great safety features.
Two things I don’t do – children or driving! LOL I don’t have kids and in NYC I have no need to drive as we take mass transit everywhere it moves faster than sitting in traffic! Glad that the seat worked well for your family!

Thanks! It sure is an amazing car seat. There are so many wonderful features.
That looks like a really great car seat. The problem we are having right now with our 3 year old is that he pulls the buckle down and gets his hands out from the sides. Do you think this car seat would stop him from doing that?
Yes it certainly would! I remember having that problem with my kids to. They are no longer able to do that with this car seat.
WE have a Britax booster. This carseat is comfort and security all in one. What a great way to ensure your child is fastened properly.
Right! They’re so nice with all the great safety features.
Britax is such a good brand! We have two car seats for my daughter and the one in my car is a Britax and I love it!
That’s great to hear. They sure are great car seats.
I don’t think I have ever used Britax before or not, but I have heard nothing but good about this brand over the years. Your daughter seems to really like her car seat!
She really does love it. Both of my daughters like it. They take turns with this car seat because they love it more. 🙂
I love that this can be a forward facing seat and also a booster! The cup holder is an awesome idea!
I agree. I love all of those options as well.
We are long time Britax fans! I’ve trusted them with all 3 of my kids.
That’s great to hear. They’re such an amazing brand!
I have never used a Britax but have heard of them. Their seats look like they have a lot of great features that would make them easy to use.
They’re amazing! My daughters are always swapping seats because they love the Britax one! They take turns sitting in it.
