Grow With You Click Tight Harness-2-Booster

Web ID: 15995196THIS THING RATTLES
Good grief this thing rattles like there’s no tomorrow. It always sounds like we’re off-roading. Once my kid maxes out the harness, it’s going to the grandparents. That’s the only great thing about this seat is the high harness limit. It also looks nice, so not totally a flop!

difficult to use
I bought this seat 2+ years ago to have a mobile car seat that was adaptable over time. We are working grandparents that have our separate vehicles and we spend a lot of time with our grand kids. These click tight seats seemed like they would be convenient for shuffling between 2 cars. They turned out to be cumbersome, heavy, difficult to adjust and contained many poor design features for the high price. Granted, they are well built and probably one of the safest seats available, but are NOT easy to use. I would even suggest buying 2 cheaper seats as opposed to the difficulty of moving this seat car to car. The strap for the lower push on connectors is too short. You made it adjustable so why not add 2 inches so that you can connect them with little hassle then tighten?

The best of the best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrilled to receive this seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel because, quite simply, Britax clicktight car seats are the best out there. If you've ever installed any other car seat, you know the huffing and puffing, pulling, pushing, and readjusting, that car seat installation usually involves, only to check and find out that the seat isn't in tight enough. You can skip all that pain and frustration by buying a Britax clicktight. This seat can literally be installed in under a minute, and is in so tight that it won't move at all. You don't have to sit on it and apply pressure while you tug at a non moving strap, you don't have to check if you can safely use a rolled towel behind it, you just follow the installation directions and go on with your life. I have no idea why other brands haven't tried to make a similar product because it's so vastly superior to anything else on the market. The seat I received also has a machine washable/dryer safe cover which makes it even more amazing. I've been buying clicktight seats for the last 8 years and will continue to do so until all my kids are out of car seats.

Looks great and easy to install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this booster seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have only used this seat in harness mode so far. I like that this has a simple but sleek design with some neat details. I had the “Grey Contour” style; the light grey fabrics have a subtle ribbed texture and the black fabric is smooth and somewhat shiny. The combination of colors and textures of the materials are so pleasing to look at! I thought the rugged appearance of the harness was particularly cool and unexpected. I love that this car seat was quick and easy to install! The v-shaped tether is super convenient and there isn’t a step that involves awkwardly stuffing your vehicle’s seat belt through a hole to thread and secure the seat! The process for adjusting the buckle position was mostly simple. Removing and replacing the seat cover was slightly annoying just because of the retaining clips that are apparently only on “select covers”. There are no visual indicators, you won’t know if your seat cover has these clips until you attempt to remove the cover. The position of these clips on the seat cover and where they are supposed to clip onto when reattaching it are not illustrated in the manual, so that was mildly infuriating and required some fumbling around. However…moving the buckle to the second position was ridiculously easy! You just give the belt a twist then slide it to the appropriate notch. The only things I truly dislike about this car seat are the “Impact Absorbing Chest Pads”. The pads move independently from the chest clip, so moving those pads and the clip is inconvenient.

Customer review from britax.com
Very high quality seat, and a great choice despite some drawbacks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only Britax seat with 5-point that I have seen or used, and I was very impressed with the high quality of the fabric of the seat and webbing compared to seats I've used in the past, the sturdiness of the construction, and the thoughtful design choices such as the multiple cup holders, fabric cover for the buckle part of the harness, the nicely placed and shaped arm rests, and the rubber sliders behind the chest clips. All these are designed MUCH more nicely than any other brand seats I've used in the past. There were trade-offs, though. I found this much more difficult to install than I anticipated, perhaps because I'm used to a different brand, but once I finally got it installed it is rock-solid against the seat which is awesome. I found the harness surprisingly difficult to adjust, and for a while I needed to help my six year-old buckle and unbuckle, which I hadn't had to do in years. The webbing of the straps and the adjusting has eased up a little over a couple weeks of wear and my daughter is used to operating it now, though. The height adjustment was also difficult to use, I had to read the manual to make sure I was doing it right because even with both hands the adjustment button thing was so hard to press! That may also loosen up with time, but I so rarely have to adjust it I kind of doubt it. The seat I replaced when I got this one was designed to be a narrow seat so I'm sure I noticed the difference even more so than I might have, but this seat is WIDE and HEAVY. In my case this is totally fine, I only need to put two carseats in the back bench of my SUV, and it is nice for my daughter to have more room in this seat than her old one did, she looks much more comfortable back there. She is right on the border of needing to move up to the booster mode (with the adult lap belt) so we tried that out to see how it went, and its definitely a better choice than our previous seat. She feels very solid in this Britax seat and it keeps her in a good posture even without the extra harness restraint. She'll need help maneuvering the new buckle arrangement for a bit, but it's not too difficult to access the buckle and the arm rest design means the next time she gets in the car the seatbelt is easily reachable. I received this car seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but if I needed a second seat in this size I'd probably get another of these seats without even shopping around, it's obvious it is a very sturdy, well designed seat and we're very happy with it.

Secure (but mildly cumbersome) Seat!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used a different brand of carseat for the past 6 years, so it took me a bit to understand the directions on how to install this one. I feel like the belt placement instructions were kind of hard to decipher - and I still am not positive that I threaded the latch belts out the correct spot. However, I have never been able to get a seat installed and tight enough to my liking in such a short amount of time! There was no sweating or swearing - and that's saying something! I also really like that the top latch is connected to the seat in two spots so strap creates a triangle and secures the top of the seat much better than when it is just one single spot. (I am attaching a picture of what I am talking about). The crotch latch has a padding added to it that keeps it accessible, and you don't have to dig between your kid's legs. The chest buckle has rubber "stoppers" on the straps that keep the buckle in the correct position - those things are not moving, and that gives me great peace of mind. I LOVE that feature I had a hard time adjusting the height while it was installed in the car, but once I removed the car's headrest, it was much smoother - it stuck a bit, and wasn't as smooth as I liked, but it was doable. The ClickTIght system is really snazzy, and definitely makes me feel like the seat is securely installed - HOWEVER, it is HARD to get it back open when the seat is installed. One of the latches keeps getting stuck and that's where the swearing came in. I'm not sure if it is like this because I used the latch system and maybe I DIDN'T feed the straps out correctly. Overall, I think this is a great seat, and once it is installed and adjusted correctly there are no issues. It was cumbersome to install, but most car seats are! My petite 4 year old has a ton of room in the seat, and she says it is very comfortable. I had my tall 6 year old in it before I installed it, and she fit in great as well. It will be very easy to convert this to a high back booster, once I feel like she is mature enough, and I love that I know that it will be securely installed and she won't be sliding all over the car's seat. Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for this seat in return for an honest review!

Safe, Easy to Install, and Secure!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Brittax “Grow With You Booster” seat to review with my 4 1/2 year-old daughter. I consider myself to be somewhat of a car seat connoisseur, as I have tried many car seats in search of finding a car seat that fits all of our needs. I am mainly focused on safety for my child, however, I am also looking for something that is easy to install and is able to be cleaned easily. The Brittax “Grow With You” booster seat checks all of those boxes. First, my daughter was thrilled when she saw the booster seat. It looks like a “big girl seat” to her, but had the safety features that Mom approved of. it is important to me to continue using the harness for as long as possible, before transitioning to the vehicle belt. The structure of this car seat will definitely allow for a longer use of harness. The car seat that we received is a light purple color, andy daughter was immediately attracted to it. After reading the manual, I was able to install the car seat into my husband’s Toyota Tacoma with ease. I was able to install the car seat, and immediately felt as though it had been done appropriately on the first try. I really like the click to connect feature that was able to get the car seat very snug with little effort. We chose to put this car seat in my husband’s truck because his backseat is much more compact than in my van. The car seat and my daughter both ride comfortably and we are able to take the car seat in and out without a problem. Special thanks to Stellar reviews for sending the product for us to test. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a booster seat that also has the harness.

Great car seat!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Grow With You ClickTight Harness-to-Booster Car Seat is a great car seat! I really like the click tight feature. It makes it easy to adjust and install this car seat. The car seat was easy to install. It took me less than 5 minutes to secure the car seat in my car. I love the removable fabric for easy cleaning and the fabric is soft and comfortable. Both my 5 and 3 year old like sitting in the seat. I also like how I can easily grasp the handle at the top of the seat to adjust the height of the back/headrest. My kiddos also love how much the headrest sides come out to easily rest their head when tired. And I really like how there are two cup holders and extra little holders for toys/snacks. I am really grateful I was able to test and review this car seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
