Sarah–I’m sorry to hear about your experience. Have you contacted Britax about the seat? They do want to hear your feedback.

As I mentioned, my daughter was in the Frontier. My husband and I experienced no trouble installing it and we have found it to be a great seat. We plan to get another one now that the first one was in this crash. As I mentioned, both children emerged from the crash without a scratch, so we’re very happy with the seats.

I purchased the new Frontier, two months ago and I HATE it!! This was my son’s third Britax seat, he had the Marathon (which I love) and the Monarch Booster. I do not like ANYTHING about this Frontier. It is so cheaply made, and will not tighten in my LATCH equipped car. I have to use the seatbelt AND teathers together, and it still is not as tight as it should be. My question was answered why the thing was on sale when it just came out, it is CRAP!

I, too, have kept my 16 month old rear-facing, despite the urging from others to turn him around so ‘he’ll be happier.’ He’s quite content riding backwards, and I love that he’s FIVE TIMES safer than if he’s facing forward.

I just wanted to let you know, that if the accident was not your fault, you can claim 2 new car seats on the other person’s insurance. They are required to replace them due to the accident as they are no longer good. Please check into that. If it was not the other person, check into your very own car insurance to see if they’ll cover.

They are necessities, so they’re covered. My neighbor just went through this exact same thing. Good luck! Glad everyone was ok.

Thank you for sharing this. I’m looking for a convertible car seat, and this is a very strong endorsement.

So glad to hear you are all okay. We’re big Britax fans, too- Marathon and Boulevard. Good to know they are as secure as I had thought. I’ll cross my fingers you find a good used Honda ASAP!
