Having outgrown the Britax Marathon (which we loved) I searched for a replacement that allowed the harness mode on my 4 year old for a while longer and converted into a booster later. I looked at the Recaro Young Sport and highly rated Graco Nautilus - all of which are rated well for safety. My decision was made by trying them out. The Graco Nautilus is in many retail stores and I had a friend that has the Recaro. The Nautilus isn't as comfortable and cannot recline as much as the Frontier which is important for me since we go on 3+ hour drives sometimes. But, for the price differential it is tempting. If your child won't be the car for a long period of time, the Nautilus is a consideration. The Recaro is on par with the Frontier but the harness mode only goes to 40lbs. We are extremely happy with the Frontier. Reading the manual is a must for installation as it differs from the other Britax models. We always keep the manual with the car seat so we'll know where it is when we need to adjust anything. It did not secure well with the LATCH in the center seat of my Toyota Forerunner but secures nicely in the side seat. I miss the velcro that held the harness straps aside in the Marathon but I use the armrests for that now. My 4 year old loves sitting by the window like a big girl. She also loves this car seat. On long trips she easily falls asleep and says it's really comfortable. I'm purchasing a 2nd one for my husband's car now.Get more detail about Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore.
