LOVE this car seat!
June 2, 2016
This is our second Britax car seat. Our son is nearly 6 now so he needed the larger size of the Pinnacle ClickTight. The new installation design is so much easier than the old design! This care seat makes me feel confident each time we use it. This seat is NOTHING like those cheap things you see at the stores. I would NEVER put my son in one of those flimsy things! I absolutely recommend Britax to everyone I know... and even to strangers! Britax car seats are WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Bought this for my three year old. She is bigger then most three year olds and fits perfectly in it. She's comfortable and I know that it's installed correctly by the easy clicktight feature. I love it!

We bought this seat when we decided to give one of our Advocates to Nana for her car since she cares for our daughter on the days I am at work. Kiddo had been getting car sick occasionally in the Advocate in my husband's car (not in mine for some reason) and we figured we'd try something less restrictive since she was now big enough. This seat was embarrassingly easy to install, first of all. It seems to be really comfortable for her, since she seems to love sitting in it now. Having space is nice, and we're not sacrificing safety to give it to her. She (and we!) also LOVE the dual cup holders that are built in. We will absolutely be buying another once she outgrows the Advocate in my car (or maybe sooner!)

Got this car seat in a timely manner. Seems to be well made and very solid. A bit bulky, but that's why we ordered the pinnacle as opposed to the frontier. Definitely recommend.

I Love This Britax Pinnacle 90 Manhattan
April 15, 2016
I have just unpacked this outrageously fantastic one of a kind carseat and I am already in love!!! I can tell that this is THE BEST!!! I can already tell this is a great carseat. The appearance,comfort, value, ease of use, and the feel and appearance of the impact protection. I pray that we never have to put this feature to the test, but if it happens, I feel that we have provided THE BEST accident injury protection that money can buy!!!

We've bought Britax seats for our kids and just had our first car accident with our Britax. It was a 4 car pile up. Our kids were terrified but not a scratch, bump, or bruise on them! We are now going to purchase our next two Britax tomorrow. I will never own another brand of car seat!

Great Seat, Installs Very Easily; However very hard to tighten
April 7, 2016
This is the third Britax seat I have purchased and have been very happy with the protection the seats have provided both my children. The build quality is very good and the Click Tight system is extremely easy to use and secures the seat to the vehicle very tightly with minimal effort. However, the strap is nearly impossible to fully tighten. My wife constantly has a tough time tightening the belt to the recommended gap of less than 3 inches. I myself, at 6â€â"¢2�, have a hard time fully tightening the straps. Additionally, while pulling on the tightening strap it always digs into my hands due to the fact that I have to exert so much pressure to get it tightened. This appears to be a regular complaint and I am curious as to whether it is a design flaw? Let me be clear in that I feel my child is 100% safe in the seat but it is just very hard to tighten the straps.

My child has been in a Britax from the start. After hearing of their great reviews, we went out and got one for each of our car. Installation with the Pinnacle is quick and easy. My child loves it. My only complaint is that the shape of my 2015 Honda Accord back seat puts too much pressure on the strap in the rear which can make it difficult to tighten at times, overall though, I've been extremely pleased with the product and styling.

We love britax

We have 4 of these seats. Both my 3 and 5yr old love the seats and say they are comfortable. They feel like big kids sitting in a booster and I love that they can stay harnessed for a long time. We went from britax convertible seats to these boosters and couldn't be happier. They are very sturdy and well made. Installation is super easy. We are very happy with these seats and have no complaints.

  • Sturdy, extra side impact protection, cup holders, and the kids can be in a harness until they are 90ibs

This is our second Pinnacle. Really like how solid it's built and how comfortable our kids are in it. It is heavy and bulky and we like it that way. It's pretty easy to install once you familiarize yourself with it. It also has a slight recline for a bit more comfort, our kids heads still flop forward at times when they sleep though. They really don't seem to mind and my oldest actually has figured a way to keep her head back by tucking it in the corner, only her mouth manages to fall wide open, haha, kids are something else. They have never complained about being too hot in the seats. We are very happy with all of our Britax seats!

Pros
  • Solidly built. The last car seat our oldest kids will need. Comfy.

I have started buying Britax car seats after viewing a video regarding child safety and the importance of having a safe car seat. The best car seat I found was Britax, their quality can't be beat and they not only make excellent car seats, they make pretty car seats. I hate baby products that are weird looking and come in ugly funky colors. Britax car seats do cost more but they are worth every penny, I am sold on Britax, no other product will do! Also, I always get compliments regarding how pretty these car seats are. What makes thing even better I that Albee Baby prices for Britax car seats are better than Target. Albee Baby has become my only place to shop for quality baby products, their prices can't be beat!
Pros
  • Quality and looks
Best Uses
  • Child safety

My favorite car seat!
February 25, 2016
My son recently outgrew his (other brand) car seat in the 5-point harness setting, and needed to be switched to the booster mode. I didn't feel comfortable switching him out of the 5-point harness setting yet, so I searched for an alternate car seat that would work for us and came across the Britax Pinnacle ClickTight. I am in love with this seat and so is my son! It is so protective, safe, sturdy, and visually-appealing. I really like that "Circa" fabric style matches my baby's B-Safe 35 "Circa" fabric too! The seats look so sharp sitting next to each other in my vehicle. The seat is very easy to adjust/use, and my son can actually buckle and unbuckle himself (he couldn't with his other car seat) which helps me out. The only negatives I have regarding the Pinnacle are that it is HEAVY and the top-half is bulky.

I have purchased Britax car seats previouslyand I am vey happy with Britax quality. I have now purchased two more Britax Pinnacle model for my grandkids and they, as always exceed my expectations regarding quality, safety and beauty. Britax products are worth every penny, because the safety of my grandchildren is priceless to me. I am a lifetime fan of Britax and I will only buy them from Albee Baby, the prices are lower than any discount store. I highly recommend Britax car seats to everyone, friend or not.

Love the installation but very hard to tighten the belt!
February 15, 2016
I love how easy it is to install this seat but I'm very upset by how difficult it is for both me and my husband to tighten the straps. We've owned both Boulevard and Advocate with the Click and Safe harness indicator. I may need to return this seat and buy one with the harness indicator. I'm not sure why Britax didn't include that on this seat. I would think it should be on every seat. The Boulevard and Advocate were much easier to tighten. I think this might be a design flaw in the seat based on other similar reviews I've seen.

Got this seat a month ago and finally went on a family road trip. My 4 year old daughter loves the seat and said it was very comfortable. Vehicle install was quick and easy with clicktight. Extremely satisfied with Britax since this is my second seat. Did a lot of research in the past looking at its safety, design features and reputation...Britax it was. Many thanks from Japan.

My bf says it's not to weighty considering how sturdy it seems and that adjusting straps is easier then on our previous britax model. My four year old says it is comfortable and has learned how to buckle her own straps, enjoys her little drink holders. Shipment was on time. Nice deal on top on the line Britax.

Well built. Very ergonomical and well designed. Well worth the price due to not only the high quality but also the length of time the seat can be used. With the abilty to cover such a wide range of size and weight it actually saves you the cost of of car seat . The absolute best feature is the click tight feature. It is very easy to use and fool proof. It does a great job of quickly and consistantly installing the seat with the proper belt tension everytime. I highly recommend this car seat.

  • Click Tight System

This seat is awesome, so much so we have 4 of them! We have had no trouble tightening the straps as others describe. In fact, they adjust very easily with both of our kids.

The seat is great. Pretty heavy. Love the impact cushions. Nice fabric. Don't like the colors. They should make more covers like the frontier has. The Manhattan is hideous, circa is hot, and the other is too girly for my son. Top tether is a tad hard to get used to

Easy to install
June 28, 2015
I bought this carseat as an extra carseat for the grandparents and anyone else who will be toting around my 2 year old son. I've read how a lot of times carseats are not install properly and in general it's just a pain to install. Low and behold, did my research and thought the click tight technology would answer my prayers. I chose the carseat + booster instead of the regular carseat model because It thought I would get more uses out of it once my 2 year old grows out of the general carseat. It was super easy to install and super easy to teach my inlaws. I'm overall happy with the product, although I wish it was more stylish. I love my maxi cosi pria 85 and 70 and compared to them this carseat is less comfortable and stylish but can't beat knowing that the carseat is installed correctly!
Pros
  • Easy to install carseat. Comfort of trusting that the grandparents can install the carseat without worrying if it was installed wrong
Cons
  • not too comfortable
  • not too stylish

Worth the $$$$
June 19, 2015
Got this bc I wasn't ready to get my tiny toddler out of her britax convertible car seat but she's 4- and wanted to be in a big girl seat. This is the compromise. I'm so glad Britax offers the harness belt. As a parent it provides me with confidence knowing that she's safely tucked in her seat. Putting the seat in is easy as pie. However the anchor attachment belt is little short and made it difficult to attach that way. The base is heavy which is great knowing that the seat will not move around but a little inconvienent to those who need to constantly switch it in/out cars. I just brought 2 seats :). The cup holders are perfect- it has 2/easy access and fits most water bottles and toys. The only thing I wished this seat had like the convertible car seat is the click tight function for the harness straps. I love that this seat will last through the other booster seat stages. This is a one stop booster seat. I definitely recommend this seat. Yes it's pricey compared to others but offers the most safety for your most precious cargo. Albee offers the best price w no tax and free shipping. Definitely worth your peace of mind.
Pros
  • Safety/ extra padding around head area. Heavy base. Harness belt. Convenient access to removing seat cover for cleaning.
Best Uses
  • Transitioning from car seat to boaster
Cons
  • No click tight in the harness

We had the Advocate and then the Pinnacle, both are good however the Pinnacle with click tight stays so tight on the car seat that it looks like it was made with the seat. No questions that you may want to have one in case you are in an accident

I bought 4 of these car seats. I bought one for me in the beginning to try and loved it. I'm grandma and take my two granddaughters everywhere. After trying it, I bought one for each daughter (so my granddaughters would be safe) and I bought another for me car. I love that it fits my very tall 3yr old granddaughter to fitting my very small 2yr old granddaughter. The clicktight system is so much easier to use! Thank you Britax for that!

Love this car seat for its solid structure. The hybrid of convertible/booster. Installation is so easy with the Click Tight system. The only complaint I have is the harness is hard to tighten. Pulling the cord is work, but you get used to it. Also, it's not as cushioned as I would have hoped but I bought this for safety first. Even with the small complaints, this is still a 5-star product.

Comfort, Safety, and cupholders!
May 19, 2015
I love the Britax brand for the safety features, my son loves the comfort. The Pinnacle has the new "Clicktight" seat belt installation feature. It is awesome! Not only is it quick and easy to install, it is the most secure installation I have ever seen. Usually my husband will put all his weight into a carseat and pull with all of his might to get a tight fit, but with the new Clicktight, it is so simple, and the end result is a snug fit and my carseat will not wiggle at all! I would buy this carseat for that feature alone! But, of course the Britax has so many more great safety features. This is our second Britax, and the Harness-to-Booster means it will grow with our Toddler. Love it!

April 24, 2015
The Click Tight feature is amazing! I have never been able to get a car seat this snug. I wanted a seat that I could begin using with the seat belt since the Latch system can't be used forever, and to be honest I find it sort of cumbersome to deal with. We were moving my 3 year old daughter up from a First Years True Fit because the incline in the old seat was pretty drastic and was difficult for her to get into on her own. I reviewed tons of seats and decided on either the Britax 5 point harness to boosters or the Regalo. I was set to get the Regalo but then I read the reviews of how of the seat belt runs behind the foam pad behind the back and actually alters the way the child sits and also found some youtube reviews on it as well and decided it was not going to be an option. I opted for the Pinnacle because it was such a good price and I love the extra side impact cushioning on the sides.I've already transferred it in and out of other cars multiple times with ease, which is great for trips with friends to the zoo and other outings for carpooling. My daughter LOVES this seat and tells me often, "Mommy, I love my new seat.", and for me that is worth everything.

Excellent Quality
April 20, 2015
Quick shipping ... I have always had Britax car seats. They are only getting better with time. My daughter just loves her new car seat, as it has more cushion in it to make long distance drives more comfortable. Other reviews state that it is heavy, bulky, and hard to tighten the straps. I do not find that at all. With the click tight installation it is very easy to install. Yes, it is big but it is designed to hold your growing toddler and has side impact protection. You have to take the good with the bad. If you want a high quality car seat that has all the protection needed to protect your most precious cargo, then this is the car seat to go with. It not only meets the necessary guidelines,, it exceeds them. It being big or bulky or even heavy would not / does not affect my choice in buying this car seat, as I know my children will be the safest in them.

This seat saved my children's lives
April 13, 2015
We were in a major car accident a few weeks ago involving 3 cars. 2 of the cars involved are totaled, both of which are SUVs. My 3 year old twins and I were in one of the totaled SUVs. This seat not only protected my kids so well that they didn't even have a bruise from the chest plate, the side cushions also protected their heads from flying items and debris in the car. The seats also saved them from getting airbag burns, or even being hit by the side curtain airbags. They were in the second row captains chairs and literally came out without a bruise or a scratch. We are so amazed and we are buying the same ones to replace the ones in the wreck. The seats did exactly what they are designed to do. The only visible damage we could see to the seats was where the plastic webbing had stress marks on the safe cells. Thanks so much Britax! We are customers for life.

Looks really safe, bear to install
April 11, 2015
I just completed installing the seat into my Avalanche. Not fun or easy. My grandchild is about 27 pounds, so I didn't want to use the vehicle's belts. It took a while to find the belts since they are hidden inside the seat. Using the tether that goes over the seat was another battle. The Avalanche seats do not make the installation simple or easy. However, once installed, it is easy to operate, looks extremely safe, and seems to be comfortable.
