Britax Frontier 90 with ClickTight Installation
*Disclosure – Product was received to facilitate this review. No other compensation was received. All thoughts are my own.
One thing that has always bothered me about car seats, is how difficult it is to install them. Sometimes, a car seat needs to be moved when hauling objects in your car, when traveling and even when you need to switch up cars. Whether it’s changing the car seats around in the mini van or taking the car seat out to put into my husband’s car, the Britax Frontier 90 has made the process of installing a car seat so much easier.
Keep reading and I will tell you how they did it..
Last year, we had the opportunity to review the Britax Frontier 85 SICT Booster. Out of the box, the Britax Frontier 90 looks very similar to the 85 SICT Booster model. However, there are a few new features that are very much worth noting.
The biggest change in the Britax Frontier 90 is the addition of a ClickTight Installation System. The days of worrying about a “tight enough” installation are over!
The ClickTight Installation System allows every parent to install the car seat, using the vehicle’s seat belt, while in harness mode. This system ensures that the installation is tight and secure by tensioning and locking the vehicle’s seat belt into place.
I’ve had to move Andrea’s car seat a countless number of times and reinstalling it has taken less than 5 minutes. Easy Peasy and not even breaking a sweat!
Watch this cute Britax video to see how easy it is to use the ClickTight Installation System
Cup holders are fantastically amazing! While this seems like such a simple feature, cup holders give your child the perfect place to put their drinks (Sippy Cups fit!) and snacks while on the go. The Britax Frontier 85 SICT has this feature as well, I’m so glad this is a continued feature.
Britax, hands down!, has the best technology when it comes to the 5 point harness. I’ve never ever had a problem with the harness becoming tangled.
The 5 point harness also allows for 9 different height positions, which helps to distribute crash forces across the strongest parts of the body and provides for a secure fit.
HUGS, Harness Ultra Guard System, is a feature that you will only find on Britax. In the event of a crash, the HUGS chest pads will help to reduce forward movement of your child. It does this by adding friction to the harness against your child’s chest as they move forward during a crash.
Seen in most of the Britax convertible car seats, the front adjust harness feature is new to the Britax Frontier 90.
No longer are the days of having to rethread your child’s harness, or even having to uninstall the car seat to adjust the harness from the back.
Now, in the Britax Frontier 90, all you have to do is squeeze that grey bar located at the top of the headrest and pull upwards. By doing this, both the headrest and the harness is moved upward. Just let go of the grey bar and you will hear the headrest and harness lock into place.
Our family cars are both installed with Britax car seats. The mini van, that you see above, is installed with both the Frontier 90 and the 85 SICT. I love Britax car seats because they can be installed with upmost confidence and knowing that my children are safe is the best payback for my purchase.
While we still love the Britax 85 SICT, we plan to upgrade both seats to the Britax Frontier 90. The newly added features are worth the upgrade for my family.
If you are looking for a highback booster seat, that will give you all of these new features, can be used starting at 2 years old, allows the harness to be used up to 90Lbs and booster up to 120 Lbs, the Britax Frontier 90 is an awesome choice.

I am impressed with the quick adjust no rethread harness. How much easier it must be to adjust without having to remove the seat from the car or unthread those straps.
I love the clicktight technology idea.
Can use up to 90lbs!
i like that i could us it in our family for years. great colors too
I have learned that this is an amazing seat. It has excellent safety features. It has the new click tight installation system!
deep side walls and a head restraint with energy-absorbing EPP foam to distribute crash forces, shield from vehicle intrusion, and contain the head, neck and body while keeping them “in true” or aligned. I really like that it has a head restraint and side impact.
I kike how long it is usable. I have big kiddos and the higher limits would definitely be useful.
I like that it has True Side Impact Protection – I always worry that someone’s going to run a light or a stop sign and hit the side of my minivan while the kids are in it.
This is caught my eye:
90-pound Weight Capacity in Harness Mode allows your child to remain harnessed up to 90 lbs
120-pound Weight Capacity in Booster Mode for safety and comfort as your child grows
So important to me since our daughter is big for her age!
the high weight limit is awesome
Thank goodness for Tangle-Free, Five-Point Harness because my daughter’s was annoying to get her in there safely and fast. Also knowing the price of the car seat and possibly winning that makes me so excited even to be placed in the contest. :D
The five point harness with high weight limit!
I love the higher weight limit and the safe installation!
I like that the rear-facing weight limit is high, because we like to rear face for as long as possible. I also like that it looks like I could install it myself instead of waiting for my husband to do it!
I like that it has the “True Side Impact Protection”. We all need car seats that are going to keep our children safe.
I really like the quick adjust harness! Thanks for hosting!
I love the 5 point harness system!

The Harness Ultra-Guard System assists in reducing forward movement of your child in the event of a crash by adding friction to the harness against your child’s chest as they move forward.

I learned that it has the click tight installation system
After seeing so many seats without sub quality sides on their seats, the feature I find most happy about is the
True Side Impact Protection
” provides deep side walls and a head restraint with energy-absorbing EPP foam to distribute crash forces, shield from vehicle intrusion, and contain the head, neck and body while keeping them “in true” or aligned”
Even strapped in correctly, little kids heads wobble, especially when sleeping. It makes me feel batter the sides are being built up to surround with protection.
I love the click tight installation! I always have to have an adult sit on the car seat with their knee when installing a car seat so I know it is in tight. That makes this a 2 person job! With the click tight installation I won’t have to worry about that!!!
I like the True Side Impact Protection
I learned and liked that it is up to 90 pounds of weight for a child
It is trivial, but is like the comfort foam that this seat has. A comfy seat is important to my kiddos.

I like that it “grows with your child”!
I like the click tight installation syster.
I like the fact that not only does it have a five-point harness, but that it’s adjustable by height!
We love Britax seats for our kids – they really stand the test of time! This new model looks great, and so easy to use.
It converts to a booster easily, so we wouldn’t need to buy yet another seat!
The click tight system… it sounds very easy.
I love that it converts to a booster without the harnesses
i love the different fabric options. The flowers are my favorite!
I really like the base and SafeCell Technology to compressing with a crash to help ensure child is safe
