Amazon.com Product Reviews
Britax has been a trusted and highly-touted manufacturer of baby safety products for years, and it's not only because they sell high quality products but also peace of mind. This brand adulation is not mere wheedling. The Britax Regent Onyx car seat is an amazingly versatile child restraint system. The LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) easily attach to vehicles with LATCH connection points, and the Versa-Tether is an additional anchor aid that utilizes the factory installed automobile car seat upper anchor points to minimize the possibility of head injury. Their HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system is designed to distribute better the webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize edge loading on the child's neck in the case of impact. Made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extra thick comfort foam, it exceeds U.S. safety standards and affords plush padding. The tangle-free five-point harness is designed to fit snugly over the shoulders, collarbone, and hips, and the four shoulder slots allow a better fit as your child grows. Added bonuses are the two mesh pouches and cup holders. The removable fabric cover is machine washable, and the manufacturer recommended age is from 12 months and 22 pounds up to 80 pounds. --Scott Teal

Quick and Easy Installation
The Regent features a tangle-free, five-point harness made with rough and tough polyester that's designed to resist wear and tear. The push-button LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors help secure your child on every trip. The harness also attaches quickly and easily so you won't have to worry about struggling with endless straps or complicated procedures, and convenient belt holders keep the harness to the side so you can place the child in the seat. Just one pull makes any necessary adjustments. Additionally, the harness fits snugly over the shoulders, collarbone, and hips, and the four shoulder slots allow a better fit as your child grows.
HUGS for Optimum Safety and Support
When it comes to safety, the Regent boasts an innovative protective design and loads of extras that give parents peace of mind on car trips. First, the patented floating HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system exceeds U.S. safety standards by reducing forward head movement as it gently cushions the neck and chest with soft padding--a feature that's particularly important both in the case of an accident and during nap time. Made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extra thick comfort foam, this system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of an impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip.
Versa-Tether for Additional Security
The Regent also offers Britax's patented Versa-Tether, an anchor aid that provides additional security in the forward facing position for children weighing more than 50 pounds. The Versa-Tether fastens the top of the car seat to factory installed automobile anchor points, reducing the possibility of a head injury in the event of impact.
Comfort Features for an Enjoyable Ride
Riding in the car should be fun and enjoyable for your child, and the Regent offers comfort features that help make even long trips a pleasure. First, two mesh pouches and cup holders keep snacks, drinks and toys close at hand. Secondly, the cushioning and plush padding are made to be incredibly supportive, so your child can play, sleep or simply look out the window without strain or discomfort.
Weighing 25 pounds and measuring 21.5 x 30 x 25 inches (WxHxD), the Regent features a versatile, user-friendly design that will truly grow with your child. The Regent is also available in Huntington and Madison, and comes with a 1-year limited warranty.

 great seat August 27, 2008
suzi
I bought this for my 4 year old because I wanted him in a 5 point harness that he could use as he continues to grow. It is very comfortable for him and I feel very secure having him in it.
Great Seat July 16, 2008

This seat is big, but it fits in my Subaru Outback. My son wasn't big enough for a booster, but he was too tall for his other Britax. I feel safe having him in the 5 point harness and he loves his seat. It was easy to put in, but it is heavy so I wouldn't want to keep moving it from car to car.
OUTSTANDING Car seat! July 10, 2008
J. M. Rivas (Western Virginia)
Britax Regent Youth Car Seat Onyx I bought this car seat for my son when my daughter outgrew her baby seat and moved into his convertible car seat. It is quite heavy, but easy to install and adjust! My son is so comfortable in it, he often complains when riding in my husbands car that he misses his other seat in Mommy's car!!! Not just for bigger children. My son is on the small side and he will be able to use this seat until he's ready for a seatbelt. It's much safer than a booster!
Great for special needs kids! July 8, 2008
KS Roberts (Ocala, FL USA)

The Regent is a big seat, and a little heavy when you are lifting it to install, but once you get it in your car, it is good and sturdy! The seat cover is fairly easy to remove and wash, and the whole seat is pretty simple to take apart if you have to clean it thoroughly, which is a huge plus if you have a vomiting kid or one prone to diaper blowouts! The biggest plus of all is the fact that the 5 point harness can be used all the way up to 80 lbs (!) so if you have a special needs child, like I do, that needs the harness a lot longer than usual, the Regent is for you! I think my petite daughter will be able to fit in this seat until she is 18! Also, I can fit two of these in my Toyota Prius back seat just fine, although I try not to take them out very often since they are so big and a little cumbersome to move around. I just leave them where they are and they do a terrific job! This seat is worth every penny!
A few thoughts on the complaints that I've been seeing... July 6, 2008
K. Hock (San Diego, CA)

This is the perfect seat for older kids who have outgrown the convertible seats, but still are not ready for a booster-or parents who are not comfortable having their child only strapped in with the car seat belt. I have owned this for about 5 months now and really like the seat. My 4 year old daughter likes it too. A few thoughts on some complaints that I've seen...
First is size. It's a big seat, but it's designed for bigger kids! it's not an infant/convertible seat. You can't have it both ways, a small seat for a large child! If people expect to have high weight and height limits, then they'll just have to deal with the size. I have a feeling most people are used to seeing the compact size of infant and convertible seats, once you adjust to the idea that this is really a 'big' kids seat, it's not that big. It fits just fine in my mini van. And as you read other reviews, parents who have smaller cars than mine are saying it fits fine too.
Second is the fabric. I actually like the polyester fabric. It's not too hot in the summer and really not that cold in the winter, at least where we live. I think that if the whole seat was made out of the same kind of plushy, padded material that a lot of the convertible seats are made out of, then the kids would be hot and uncomfortable. Besides, it's been easy to wipe clean, and seems very durable so far. (Sometimes that plush fabric wears down faster)
Third is the installation and movability of the seat. This seat is not meant to be moved in and out of cars-or traveled with. Use a cheap Cosco seat for that. Once this seat is installed, it's not going anywhere! If you have the mindset that this will be your main seat, and any other cars you travel in you'll just have to use another spare seat then you'll be fine. As for installation, most car seats install the same basic way. Some are more of a hassle than others but once you install one, you've really installed them all. So, that being said, this wasn't any worse than the other seats I've installed. Yes, there is the funky 'long/short' route depending on how much your child weighs, but that's really not a big deal. So, spend the extra 3 minutes it takes to figure it out, and be happy that your child is in a very safe seat!
Fourth is the strap adjustment. With the exception of my Evenflo convertible seat I think this seat is very easy to adjust. The HUGS plastic things on the straps really do seem to help make the child more secure in the seat and when you pull on the lower strap to tighten, it's fairly easy. I've used several different seats and every one of them (except my older model Evenflo) I wasn't happy with how the straps tightened. I was never able to get them buckled in good enough for my taste, but this one passes the test.
This is a well designed, safe car seat that is perfect for your older children. I highly recommend it.

parent-friendly design for quick and easy set-up and adjustment. First, the premium push-button LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors ensure a fast, simple and tight installation so you know your child is secure. The tangle-free, five-point harness has eight harness heights you can adjust with one hand, and three buckle positions for a snug and secure fit. For added convenience, the headrest adjusts quickly without requiring you to re-thread the straps.
True Enhanced Side Impact Protection for Peace of Mind
 The Frontier also gives you additional peace of mind by featuring engineered true side impact protection. Deep side walls and head support provide advanced shock-absorption and cushioning in side impact collisions, helping to reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) impact foam lining around baby's head and torso absorbs energy in side and rear impacts, cradles baby's head to keep it away from protruding parts, cushions violent side to side movements, and creates a comfortable resting spot.
Safe for Growing Children
Besides True Enhanced Side Impact Protection, the Frontier boasts other advanced safety features that provide optimum protection. Most importantly, the patented Versa-Tether fastens the top of the car seat to factory installed automobile anchor points, reducing the possibility of a head injury. This system also allows for rear-facing tethering to help keep the seat stable.
Comfort and Convenience
Car trips should be pleasant, and the Frontier has everything your child needs to relax and enjoy the ride. Dual cup holders are great for sippy cups, snacks and toys, while the armrest invites your little one to sit back and watch the world go by. Comfort foam helps make naptime cozy and restful, too, by supporting your child's neck and head in a comfortable position.
The Frontier is designed to be used in the forward-facing position, with the harness, when children are two years old and weigh between 25 and 80 pounds, with a standing height of 30 to 53 inches. The booster is intended for children weighing 40 to 100 pounds and with a standing height of 42 to 60 inches.
The Frontier measures 19.5 x 22.0 x 26.5 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 23.5 pounds.

 Really like it, but installations tips were critical September 29, 2008
Mary B. (Seattle, WA)
Have it in two cars - one with latch and one without - and had a lot of trouble getting it snug at first on both of them. Once we found the tips (where to pull for latch, and the "long" way to route wihtout), worked great.
We had other Britax seats before (Marathon and Roudabout) and we are pleased to have found a bigger one that will grow with him. My son loves the seat, but does like to have cold water in his cup holder..
awesome car seat-but a little hard to install September 29, 2008
R. Huston (Illinois)
This is the 4th Britax car seat I have owned. This car seat is everything it claims to be except it is a little difficult to install. We purchased a new car recently and I didn't want to move the car seat between vehicles so I purchased another car seat. The other 3 seats have been an infant and we also have 2 marathons.( one in each vehicle). Our daughter will outgrow the marathon, she is very tall so we went with the booster convertable. I was disapointed that I couldn't get the seat to fit securely in the middle of the back seat. It took forever, but I finally got it on the outside. It is very tight and doesn't move at all, but I would rather it be in the middle. Another thing that is a little annoying, is the bottom clips seem to fall into the seat and they are hard to get a hold of with my daughter in the seat. She loves the comfort and that it has little cup holders on the sides. Overall, great car seat once again.
Best booster September 23, 2008
Calgirl
I am so happy with the Frontier. I tried many many boosters out and finally bought the frontier. Read the directions and it is SO easy to install.
5 stars for safety but 4 for installation. September 23, 2008
M. Brennan (New York, NY)
This seat was my pick for our 4 year old who has outgrown her Britax Roundabout. I read the reviews warning the installation hassles, but figured it was worth the headache.
Once I finished fighting with the LATCH straps and pulling with all my might - bruising my fingers in the process - the seat was firmly cemented into my car's back seat.
I feel very confident that if anything were to happen to us on the road that my daughter will be as safe as possible.
I love Britax and regardless of the installation struggle, wouldn't hesitate to recommend this seat to anyone.
 Cute but horrible! September 22, 2008
Carol Carruthers
I purchased these carseats about three months ago. I have two girls ages 6 and 3, so I bought two. I researched for a long time. I have never used any other than Britax for my choice of carseats. We were auctually in a deadly car accident, my kids were both in there Britax Roundabout seats and were unharmed! That is the reason I returned to buy the new one's. I saw the Frontier and I thought it was so cute (we have the pink ones). LET ME WARN YOU... The upholstery is SO itchy. We live where it gets hot during the summer and my kids would have a rash after getting out of the car. The seat is HUGE! I have an SUV and the both of them take up the entire middle row, wich makes it impossible to get to the back row! It is very hard to install, hard when you are using the seatbelt only option. The worst though is that the cover is not removable. My daughter was sick and threw up and now this car seat is sitting in our garage. I did the best I could wiping it down. The seat is a great idea because I feel like my kids will never outgrow it but, it is just NOT practical AT ALL. I like the five point harness and the fact my girls feel like big kids because it have the "booster" look to it. I still love Birtax and am shopping for new one's. They need to pull this one and make major improvements! |
