Britax Sale at Babycenter

Posted by Missy W. @ 10:19 AM

We just bought the bullet and ordered Sy a Frontier car seat by Britax. Baby G LOATHES his little infant car seat. I think it incenses him that he cannot see, so we’ll make the switch before year’s end. I’ll put him in Sy’s old one (the Britax Decathalon, which goes from five lbs up) and Sy into the Frontier (30 to 100 lbs). We’ve always loved the Decathalon by the way, I’ll have to review it.

I like the Frontier because it converts from a 5-point harness to seat belt, but still has a tether system like a traditional car seat. Of course, you can’t switch to the seat belt option until they are 80 lbs, which Sy won’t hit for a long, long time. It also has cup holders, which Sy is extremely excited about. My sister has the Parkway booster for her seven year old and says the cup holders are absolute crap; drinks spill all over unless your cup is only about 2 inches tall, which you know, so many sippy cups are. Not. The Parkway is a retired product, replaced by the Monarch. I think in a year or so, we’ll put Sy into one of those. So many options…

Hey reader Firemom, did you end up buying one for your kiddo? Do you like it? Do tell.

Britax car seats are on sale this week only over at Babycenter. Up to $60.00 off and free shipping. Woohoo!
