We needed to get a new car seat for our son, who at barely 4 has the height of a 6 year old, and who unbuckels himself with a regular booster. We were happy to see that a 5-point restrait was still an available option and needed to decide between forking over a hefty amount for the Britax or go with the Graco for about 1/2 the price. After reading a ton of reviews, safety reports and talking to a couple of people, we decided to let our son "test-sitting" and all of us opted for the Britax and have not looked back.
Here are the things that really bugged us on the Graco:
* the crotch strap is extremely tight and uncomfortable and has only 2 positions vs. 3 on the Britax
* the straps are not enforced and after about a week you'll have a heck-of-a-time getting the Graco untangled
* the armrests are not moveable, so getting in & out is harder than it needs to be
* the construction in general is less sturdy and the paddding is about 1/2 the thickness of the Britax
I think the saying "you get what you pay for" sums it up pretty well. Get more detail about Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore.
