I have always trusted and loved my other Britax car seats, particularly the marathon and roundabout. But I'm disappointed in the frontier. I needed to replace my roundabout as my 4 yr old outgrew it (note: do not buy a roundabout - it won't get you through the car seat stage). I loved the idea of the frontier which has a 5 point harness and is convertible into a backless booster seat (although I hear it is heavy). But it has several terrible features:
1) the buckles do not have a stop notch like the other Britax carseats. So the buckles always fall to the bottom, even if I wrap it around the arm rest. Nine times out of ten my daughter knocks it back into the seat as she's getting in. So I have dig under her bottom to find it.
2) the belt slat on he buckle is too big - the buckle often gets twisted around the belt, taking a lot longer to get the right fit.
3) it's not comfortable - my daughter complains that it is not comfortable. She'll go in it, but prefers her marathon. Thank God this is in the secondary car.
Bottom line - it takes way too long to get the right fit. I'm anal about carseat safety, so this model is particularly annoying to me.Get more detail about Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore.
