Hello everyone,
recently I bought an used Britax "original" frontier manufactured in 2008, and I found it fitting me perfectly. My height is 5.75 feet and my weight is 155 lbs. There are many slots on the back of the seat, and my method is actually not allowed in the manual. However, it's still very comfortable when sitting in it. First, uninstall the shoulder harnesses; then, adjust the car seat to the booster mode and let all adjustable seating position to their highest positions. Finally, install the harness through the slots on the heat restraint, note that those slots is higher than any slot on the plastic cover in the back of the seat. (Manual doesn't allow this type of installing method)
I've tried 2 models of frontier. One is frontier 85, and the other one is the original frontier. There is one fact which surprised me a lot that the original frontier fit me more comfortably than frontier 85. The reason is that the strap controlling the tightness of the harness is longer in the original frontier, which makes more spaces in the seat, one can also make it very tight though. Another reason is that the highest slots on the head restraint is surprisingly higher then frontier 85, which also makes more room to the shoulder. The crotch buckle position are the same, and the harness of the original frontier is softer than in frontier 85, which is a little bit rough. My rating of both of them is that the original one is better than frontier 85.
By the way, is there anyone having once sat in Britax frontier 90 or frontier clicktight? I'm wondering if they fit adults well or not?
