Grow With You^™ ClickTight^® Harness-2-Booster Car Seat with 2-in-1 Design

We have used britax for 6 years now, first we have 3 convertible ones for the smallest ones and now we have 2 of the grow with you click tights for the oldest. We are about to buy a third click tight. They are easy to clean and use, to swap between cars. You can wash the seat parts in the washer and dry them. They dont shrink. The color didnt bleed so we wash other things with them. They are also easy to put back together. The life span has been great, the oldest seat still has 2 years left and our youngest will out grow them before that date which saves us money. The only regret we have is our first seat was a graco, it should have been a Britax.

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?

[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.

[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.

[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!
