Highest Level of Safety for Toddlers with the Britax Frontier Clicktight Booster Car Seat Amy Smith, March 1, 2018December 27, 2022 Britax Frontier Clicktight Booster Car Seat – Keeping Children Safe on the Roads Traveling days are approaching between spring break and then summer vacations. Life can change drastically in a blink of an eye while on the road with one simple overcorrection, a glance down at a phone, a drunk or just careless driver in your path, or even an unexpected flat tire happening at a high speed. Some accidents could be prevented while others are true that…. an accident. The Britax Frontier Clicktight Booster Car Seat with the Cool Flow Feature is one of the best car seats on the market to protect your child in the event of an accident! Staying off the roads completely isn’t really an option (although late-night travels or traveling on “party holidays” such as the 4th of July can be limited). So, aside from staying focused on your own driving, staying off your phone, and keeping an eye out for other drivers, there is not a lot you can do to prevent an accident. You CAN, however, take precautions when it comes to protecting yourself and your little ones. That precaution is a seatbelt! Adults need to be an example to their children when it comes to buckling up. Next, is making sure that your child is in the proper seat belt restraint. Lastly, would be making sure that the car seat/booster seat chosen is a quality car seat that will do its job of protecting your child if an accident were to occur. The risk of death as a result of an accident decreases by 71% in infants (under the age of one), who are properly restrained in an infant (rear facing). Death is decreased by 54% for children ages one to four years old and 45% for children ages four to eight when placed in the proper car seat and restraint versus sitting in a seat with just a standard seat belt used. Restraint, in general, is not as important as the actual type of restraint used depending on the age, size, and weight of the child. Just because you have a four-year-old, does not mean they are capable of safely sitting in a booster. My daughter is almost five but a small five-year-old. Due to her height and weight, she still requires a full five-point harness versus just a booster with a seatbelt. She may very well be in a five-point harness until she is six. About the Britax Frontier Clicktight Protect your child in the event of an accident with the energy-absorbing shell and foam-lined headrest. In the event of an accident, the base will compress which reduces the force of the impact on your child. The ClickTight system gives you an easy and safe way to install the car seat without depending solely on the car seat strap! The ClickTight system locks the buckle in place making it more secure. The above shows how the car seat would attach via the anchors. The adjustable harness keeps you from having to re-thread the harness as they grow. Once your child is old enough for a regular booster seat by just using a regular seat belt, the seat quickly transitions from a harnessed seat to a booster car seat. My daughter is not there yet but I do love that when she does reach the booster level, the booster seat itself is anchored so securely with the ClickTight feature. Two layers of side impact protection ClickTight Installation System SafeCell Impact-Absorbing Base Impact-Stabilizing Steel Frame Multiple Recline Positions 9-position, Quick-Adjust Harness Transforms from Harness to Booster CoolFlow Feature now available About the Cool Flow Feature The Cool Flow feature is great. It keeps my daughter cool even on warmer days. We will REALLY be testing this out on our trip to Florida! The Cool Flow Collection is designed for safety, comfort, and mobility. Designed with a ventilated mesh fabric that provides stylish safety and gives your child a cool, comfortable ride. This cool new collection provides Britax levels of safety for every age and stage. Mom’s Thoughts We are in LOVE with this booster car seat!! My daughter can buckle and unbuckle herself (she is almost five) but it would not be easy for a smaller child to unbuckle themselves. My daughter loves having cup holders available for her cup. I love that too because she could never reach the cup holder in the van which resulted in several spills in the past. The padding of the seat is incredible. We are very thankful for that as we are preparing for a “long road” as my daughter calls it (AKA a long trip). The Britax Frontier ClickTight with the Cool Flow feature is the most secure car seat I have ever personally used. The ClickTight feature makes the seat feel like it is part of the vehicle not an accessory of the vehicle. I can not wiggle the seat in the least bit! I am very pleased with the Frontier ClickTight Cool Flow Booster Car Seat! Are your children safe in their car seats? I would highly recommend the Frontier ClickTight for superior safety! Choose between using the car seat buckle secured by the Click Tight feature or using the anchors to secure the car seat (depending on the weight of your child). UPDATE: We have now used this car seat to drive approximately 2000 miles. My daughter loves it just the same as she did when she first tried it out! Our air conditioner went out in our van on the way down to Florida. It got close to 80 degrees for several days. The Cool Flow Feature worked great! We are even bigger fans of the Britax Frontier ClickTight Cool Flow Booster!

When looking at the child seats now available, I really cringe at the only ones that we had when my children were small.
I love that it converts to a booster seat it can take weight up to 120 pounds. Love the design of it too looks easy to get in and out of.
Britax has such good products. I love the two layers of side impact protection. I would feel confident putting my Grandson in this car seat.
My favorite feature is the cooling technology! I don’t know what it is about car seats, but all of my kids seem to get sweaty while in theirs. This is definitely a great feature that not many have. I also love all of the safety features, what a great car seat!
I love the safety behind the Britax products! This seat looks amazing! I love the steel reinforcement and that it can go from a 5 point harness to a regular high back booster! This would be amazing for when my youngest needs to move to a booster.
My five year old is very small, only about 35 lbs. and will need to be in a harnessed seat for, likely, at least another year. She’s starting to question why she still needs a baby seat. I love that this seat has the look and features of a booster seat but the full 5-point harness. My favorite feature, however, is the ClickTight installation.
I think this is a very cool car seat. I like how it’s easier on kids when they sleep and keeps them safe.
This seat sounds super amazing! I love all the safety features and that it is also adjustable for comfort.
Absolutely! $300 sounds like a lot but considering that most states now have a law that your child has to be in a car seat/booster for 8 years, $300 is totally worth it for the durability as well as the added protection it provides your child. That is far less than just an ER visit would cost if you were to ever wreck and your child needs a simple ER visit and far less than most medical costs if you were in a serious wreck where your child was injured!
First off what a great review. I am looking for a 5 point car seat for my 3 year old boy that he can grow into and i totally am now leaning toward this one. It’s a bit pricey but I’m entering the giveaway so fingers crossed. I’m also debating btw the cool feature since there is a price difference but from the sound of it. It’s worth it. Let’s hope i win!! $300 is a bit pricey for them but can’t put a price on protection.
This car seat has so many amazing features. Love the cool flow feature the most! My sis-in-law just delivered a baby boy last month. I would love to win this for him.
I love the Cool Flow feature of this car seat. I would love this seat for my grand daughter. I also like how easy it is to convert from a harness seat to a booster seat.
What a difference car seats have made to children’s safety. I travel with my grandkids and it makes me feel better having a well made and easy to install car seat for them.
This sounds so nice. I love all the protection it provides our little ones with. I also like how easy it is to convert from a harness seat to a booster seat. The cooling provided for the little ones is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing
The cool flow feature would be great during those hot summer months & all of the safety features in this seat are awesome!
