Britax is recalling some of its car seats because they could fail to properly secure children in the event of a crash.
The recall involves certain Britax Frontier Child Restraints. The harness straps may detach from the metal yoke on the back of the restraint if repeatedly loosened one strap at a time.
To the fix the problem, Britax will mail to all registered owners rubber caps that prevent the straps from detaching. Owners should call Britax at 1-800-683-2045 and request a kit or visit www.frontierrecall.com.
The affected models include Britax Frontier models E9L54E7, E9L54H6, E9L54H7, E9L54M6 manufactured on or before September 14, 2008. Also, model E9L5490 manufactured on or before September 17, 2008.

You can put a price on safety when you can't afford the seats they make. I would love to have 2 of the seats they make that harness up to 80 pounds. However, I'm broke. So since YOU, J, can't put a price on safety, how about you share the wealth and get a couple of those for my 2 kids?! Kidding.

I still say that Britax are the safest car seats of any. EVERY child should be harnessed until they reach 65 pounds and in a booster until they reach 80 pounds. Britax even makes a seat that will harness to 80 pounds, which we will be purchasing as soon as our child outgrows the Britax Marathon. You can't put a price on safety.
