5.0 out of 5 starsSave yourself the typical swearing, scrapes, and rage of car seat installation with CLICKTIGHT. AMAZING!
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017
We have 3 kids and 11 car seats. I've reviewed car seats for brands in the past (this is not one of them and I have zero relationship with Britax, nor am I being compensated for this review). That said....
...Clicktight is a GAME CHANGER.
The seat is good for 10 years, as good a lifespan as anything on the market. It installs SO MUCH EASIER than any other seats we have, with Chicco seats in a close second. The anti-rebound bar for rear-facing replaces a top leather and keeps the backseat more open (no strap to the floor from the top of the seat). I did have to put my weight into the seat a bit to get it to click down, but man....perfectly tight install with NO FIGHTING. No scratches. No bruises. No sweating. No swearing! AMAZING.
The seat itself is well made and the baby is comfortable in it. It's Britax, so you can assume a certain level of quality and this seat is no exception.
Installing with Clicktight took me under 10 minutes. My mother-in-law could do this with no instruction book and it would be a safe install. The recline indicator is very clear, too. If you change seats in and out often, especially with people installing who aren't car seat nerds (grandparents, babysitters), this is the seat for you.
I would still get on Facebook and find one of the car seat groups, and ask about seats with relation to the make/model/year of your vehicle(s) and ages/heights/weights of your child(ren). I also REALLY love that this is a no re-thread seat, so any child small enough to be rear-facing can use it without uninstalling it (just squeeze the handle at the top and slide the headrest up and down to adjust shoulder straps to the right height). Even the crotch strap can be adjusted easily (by opening the click-tight tray, then reinstalling...but reinstalling is a breeze so it's not a big deal).
We have 4 Dionos and yeah, they are narrower overall....but for my money, I love the ease and longevity of this seat. I can't even think of anything I don't like about it.
