    Default Comfy HBB?

    My DD comments frequently on her Frontier 90 not being comfortable when she's in it for more than a quick ride somewhere. Sometimes her legs hurt (maybe cutting off circulation and then her legs "falling asleep). Are the newer Britax seats more comfy? Or other seats? She will be 7 in a couple months, 55 lbs, ~47 in. Thank you.

    I recently got a Frontier Clicktight for my 4 yo DD (to use as a harnessed booster). She complained all the time that it wasn't comfortable. Like your DD, her complaints of where it was bothering her varied, but she did not like it. I returned it (I'd bought from Amazon so free returns) and got her a Recaro ProSport instead. We've had zero complaints about comfort since then!

    There aren't really any newer britax seats, but she may be more comfortable in a dedicated booster - I'd take her to a store and have her try out a few, preferably in the car to see how easily she can buckle herself. My oldest has found his recaro performance booster very comfy - he's been in it almost 2 years now and is currently about 52"/54lb. It's a very wide roomy seat.

    Another thing you could try first is giving her something like a yoga ball/foam cooler to rest her feet on to see if that solves the legs falling asleep problem. Have you tried it with both recline options already?

    I just moved DS from his Pinnacle (harnessed) to a booster. We also ended up going with the Recaro, as DS said it was the most comfortable. We tried the Chicco Kidfit and Britax Parkway as well. It is a big seat though. We'll have to get him something with a smaller profile for DH's truck.

    Neither of mine were as comfy in their frontiers once we switched them to booster mode and had trouble buckling them. Now we have a combo of Chicco Kidfits, Britax Parkways and Graco Affix, all which they like better and can buckle.
