I made the online purchase for the Britax Frontier and cancelled it after reading all the negative reviews regarding installation. After some contemplation I went a head and ordered the seat again. I received the car seat yesterday and had it installed in our F-350 in 5 minutes. I did watch the installation video online at [...] prior to receiving the car seat. There are several challenges with installation, but the Britax quality makes the challenges worthwhile. I did have my husband hold the seat belt so that it would not retract. I tried the short path method of installation and our seat belt buckles won't work with this method. The seat belt was not quite long enough to use the long path method if the car seat was installed by the door, less than in inch too short. The car seat is currently securely belted using the long path method in the middle of the backseat. Don't let the reviews regarding installation change your mind when considering this car seat.
Our daughter has been in a Britax Decathalon since she was six months old. She is now 4 years 3 months. She looked a bit out of place in the Decathalon as of late. Yesterday, she took her first ride in the Frontier and was thrilled to be in a more "big kid" like seat. I won't be moving the seat as easily between vehicles, but am pleased with how our daughter sits and some of the quality features we have grown to expect from a Britax product. I know we will miss the velcro that helps keep the buckles from sliding down the harness when the seat is not in use, but these are small things. Yes, the webbing is not as thick and twist resistant as the Decathalon, but we can adjust to that as well. The Frontier is definitely not the same as the Decathalon, but it is also a seat designed to hold a wider size range of children. Get more detail about Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore.
