I'm really scared of seatbelt installs now that my DD is over 40, and this makes me feel way better.</p> <p>I've been happy with all my Britax Frontiers.. 85, 85 Sict, and hopefully the 90. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-good-combination-booster-seat-ff-harness-belt#post-1585198 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 07:23:44 +0000 Mamaof2 1585198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: 58 inches harnessed and 62 with the seat belt</p> <p>top harness is 20.5 inches </p> <p>I have short kids so we never have that issue :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-good-combination-booster-seat-ff-harness-belt#post-1585191 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 07:20:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1585191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Yea, I figure we will get just a regular backless-booster at some point but we definitely want to keep her harnessed for a while. </p> <p>@Mamaof2: The height of the child that can fit in the "shell" of the seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-good-combination-booster-seat-ff-harness-belt#post-1585181 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 07:14:46 +0000 Mamaof2 1585181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: agreed - we will move to a backless booster at some point but they are like $25 so its not like a car seat investment is ($$$) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-good-combination-booster-seat-ff-harness-belt#post-1585177 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 07:13:31 +0000 Mamaof2 1585177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: the height of the actual seat? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-good-combination-booster-seat-ff-harness-belt#post-1585172 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 07:12:02 +0000 looch 1585172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Not that I am aware, because as I understand it, the issues with the height are primarily with rear facing.</p> <p>I will be honest, this will probably not be the last seat we buy, at some point, we'll go to a backless booster with the seat belt, but not for a long while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-good-combination-booster-seat-ff-harness-belt#post-1585162 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 07:08:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1585162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @Mamaof2: Thanks!</p> <p>We have been really happy with our Britax Chaperone so this is a big plus for us. Are there any height issues with these seats like some people find with the convertibles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-good-combination-booster-seat-ff-harness-belt#post-1585157 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 07:05:13 +0000 Mamaof2 1585157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has the Britax Frontier 85 and we love it - the newer model is the 90 and they just came out with the Pinnacle which is what we will probably get for DD when her marathon expires next year - you cant go wrong with any of them though!</p> <p>90lb limit in harness mode<br /> 120lb in booster mode<br /> click tight installation'</p> <p>9 year expiration date - so this is essentially the last car seat your LO will need!</p> <p>Here is a great review - talks about Frontier 90 too!</p> <p><a href="http://carseatblog.com/21868/britax-pinnacle-90-review-pictures-videos-more-pictures/" rel="nofollow">http://carseatblog.com/21868/britax-pinnacle-90-review-pictures-videos-more-pictures/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-good-combination-booster-seat-ff-harness-belt#post-1585139 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 06:53:48 +0000 looch 1585139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Britax Frontier, it's fantastic because of the newly designed seat belt install (when your kid is 40 pounds, you can't use LATCH with a Britax seat). It goes in between the plastic shell and the padding, so you don't have to do any complicated threading, which I really find helpful.</p> <p>I will be buying a second one, I like it that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-good-combination-booster-seat-ff-harness-belt#post-1585136 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 06:51:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1585136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking about getting DD (age 2.5, about 35lbs) a new booster seat and passing the convertible down to baby #2. This would be for my husbands truck, so just for short distances around town but needs to be somewhat compact. The convertible (RF) is going to have to go in the middle seat and the new (FF) booster will have to go behind the passenger seat. </p> <p>What are things to look for? Types of LATCH? Seat Belt Lock offs? Arm rests that fold up or solid sides? </p>
