Side Impact Cushion Technology

True Side Imapct Protection

85-pound Five-Point Harness Seat Capacity


Side Impact Cushion Technology for Advanced Security
Offering both Side Impact Cushion Technology (SICT) and True Side Impact Protection, the FRONTIER 85 SICT provides protection if you happen to face an unexpected side impact crash. Side Impact Cushion Technology, which is comprised of energy-absorbing cushions on either side of the exterior of the seat, reduces side-impact energy by 45 percent by diverting crash forces away from your child and providing extra protection for the adjacent passenger. The side impact cushions are designed to compress during a side impact crash, transferring crash energy away from the seat before it reaches your child. Additionally, True Side Impact Protection guards the head and limits injury by deflecting vehicle intrusion, absorbing impact, and keeping the neck and spine aligned.
Harness and Tether System Provide 360-Degree Protection
The FRONTIER 85 SICT provides an advanced design for crash force management and absorption. The Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether features a staged-release tether webbing that securely anchors the top of the child seat to your vehicle at two points to slow forward movement, reduce crash forces, anchor the seat, and minimize forward rotation of the seat in the event of a sudden stop.
The energy-absorbing base and EPS foam liner are designed to absorb and distribute impact forces. In addition, the Harness Ultra Guard System (HUGS) reduces forward head movement and offers increased protection for your child.
The FRONTIER 85 SICT is compatible with SecureGuard (sold separately), which works with the safety belt in booster mode to prevent the child from sliding under the lap-belt portion during impact, minimizing the risk of abdominal injury.
Adaptable Design for Growing Children
The tangle-free, five-point harness allows for 10 harness-height positions -- up to 20 inches in shoulder height -- and three buckle positions for a snug, comfortable fit, even as your child grows. You can also adjust the head restraint with one hand using the quick-adjust lever and easily change the harness shoulder height without disassembling the entire harness. Plus, the convenient front harness adjuster allows you to loosen or tighten the harness system easily.
The booster seat can be used in the forward-facing harnessed position for children starting at two years old and weighing 25 to 85 pounds (the highest capacity in five-point harness systems). As a belt-positioning booster, the seat is suited for children from 40 to 120 pounds.
Easy to Install and Clean
Premium Lower LATCH Connectors allow for quick installation and feature a push-button for easy release. Color-coded belt guides indicate the path and positioning of the vehicle seat belt, further enhancing ease of installation. The FRONTIER 85 SICT also features an easy-to-remove cover that allows for easy cleaning without disassembling or uninstalling the car seat from your vehicle.
The BRITAX FRONTIER 85 SICT Combination Harness-2-Booster Seat is backed by a manufacturer's limited one-year warranty.

Client Evaluations

If you happen to be debating the SICT (Side Influence Cushion Technology), there is of course some merit to Britax's technology. I'm no vehicle crash specialist but it appears apparent that providing another barrier that protects the neck and head is safer in the occasion of a side influence crash. I have had Britax seats with and with no the SICT cushions and I think that a vehicle seat properly installed with as a lot head and neck help (i.e, head wings, EPS foam, SICT cushions, etc.) is what is safest for my youngsters. In my case, my youngsters are riding outboard in an older automobile with out rear side airbags and I want to give them the very best conceivable odds in the event of crash. That becoming stated, I've owned each the Frontier 85 and now the Frontier 85 SICT and the differences in between the two (excluding the cushion technologies) are subtle. The cushion technologies is what you're paying for and what distinguishes itself from the ordinary Frontier 85 (a lot like the Advocate 70 CS distinguishes itself from the Boulevard 70). But there are a few capabilities that have been added to the SICT that make this seat way more appealing than it is predecessor. Firstly, it is cover is conveniently removed without having getting to uninstall the seat from the vehicle. And although I haven't tried this on the SICT but, I have on my Britax Advocate 70 CS Convertible Automobile Seat, Cowmooflage numerous a time it has the similar 2 piece removable cover and it really is a splendid feature that I'm glad Britax has added to the SICT. Also, the SICT can be put to use with no a best tether, which I DO NOT Advocate. But, some automobiles don't have leading tethering points/hooks and this in impact makes the SICT more compatible with a wider assortment of automobiles than the Frontier 85. I feel the most significant distinction (that Britax does not use as a selling point) among the two seats is that the SICT is WIDE (though you quite possibly guessed that by now). At the widest point (which is at the cushions) the Frontier 85 SICT is 24.five" across. It really is around 5" wider than the Frontier 85. For some perspective, I have an Britax Advocate 70 CS Convertible Car Seat, Cowmooflage and now a Frontier 85 SICT riding outboard in the back of my 2002 Nissan Altima and I have 7-eight" amongst the 2 seats at the widest point (once more exactly where the cushions are). So I have no room in my backseat -- but -- my kids are secure and I can throw stuff in the trunk if I want to. General, I think this seat is a amazing upgrade from the Frontier 85.

This is the ideal vehicle seat on the marketplace. Substantial side protection and especially comfortable. Britax vehicle seats..are particularly nicely made and are the safest. I have had four of their seats..all have been terrific. This vehicle seat is considerably easier to clean and the straps dont get "turned around". This makes is less frustrating for absolutely everyone. Outstanding seat..for sure worth the additional dollars..a good investment.
