Britax Frontier 85 SICT Booster Seat customer reviews
if you are debating the sict (side impact cushion technology), there's obviously a few merit to britax's technology. i am no car crash expert however it appears apparent that providing another barrier that protects the neck and head is safer within the event of a facet impact crash. i've had britax seats with and while not the sict cushions and that i believe that a car seat correctly installed with as a lot of head and neck support (i. e, head wings, eps foam, sict cushions, etc. ) is what's safest for my kids. in my case, my kids are riding outboard in an older car while not rear facet airbags and that i need to provide them the most effective potential odds within the event of crash. that being said, i have owned each the frontier 85 and currently the frontier 85 sict and thus the differences between the 2 (excluding the cushion technology) are delicate. the cushion technology is what you are paying for and what distinguishes itself from the regular frontier 85 (much just like the advocate 70 cs distinguishes itself from the boulevard 70). however there are some features that are added to the sict that create this seat a lot of appealing than it's predecessor. firstly, it's cover is simply removed while not having to uninstall the seat from the car. and whereas i haven't tried this on the sict however, i've on my britax advocate 70 cs convertible car seat, cowmooflage several a time ; it's a similar two piece removable cover and it is a wonderful feature that i am glad britax has added to the sict. additionally, the sict are often used while not a high tether, that i don't recommend. however, a few cars don't have high tethering points/hooks and this in impact makes the sict a lot of compatible with a wider variety of cars than the frontier 85. i suppose the largest distinction (that britax doesn't use as a selling point) between the 2 seats is that the sict is wide (although you probably guessed that by now). at the widest purpose (which is at the cushions) the frontier 85 sict is 2twenty four. 5" across. it's approximately 5" wider than the frontier 85. for a few perspective, i've an britax advocate 70 cs convertible car seat, cowmooflage and currently a frontier 85 sict riding outboard within the back of my 2002 nissan altima and that i have 7-8" between the two seats at the widest purpose (again where the cushions are). thus i haven't any room in my backseat -- however -- my kids are safe and that i will throw stuff within the trunk if i want to. overall, i suppose this seat could be a fantastic upgrade from the frontier 85. - by ms
