We purchased this seat for our almost-3 year old son when our daughter outgrew her infant car seat. We loved our Britax Roundabout, and after reading the pros and cons of this and other car seats opted to stay loyal to the Britax brand. We vacation a great deal, which for our family involves a lot of driving, so having a comfortable chair for our son was important. The padding on the seat, both for his bottom and his back, is excellent. The padding along the straps to protect his neck is fantastic! I wish it was standard on all Britax models. The side impact protection around the head is great and provides some added support when he sleeps. My son is in the 95% for height and weight and we were able to place the seatbelt buckle in the middle slot without discomfort for him. The shoulder strap height adjusts easily, but only before the seat is attached to the car. Getting the seat into the car is a bit of a challenge because of the placement of the adjustment straps behind the seat back. There is a bit of maneuvering required to tighten the seat down properly with the LATCH system. As my son has not hit 40 lbs we have not had to try the seatbelt connection yet, so I am unable to comment on the ease or difficulty of that aspect. We have the Frontier and a Roundabout car seat in our Honda Accord and can still fit an adult between the two car seats. There is no extra room to move, and it is not comfortable for long drives, but there is enough room for a 3rd adult to still fit in the car when required. Despite the more involved process to secure the seat into the car, I would purchase this product again. For people who need a car seat that can be easily swapped between vehicles, this is likely not your best option. For those people that get extensive use out of their car seat in a single vehicle, I believe this product to be worth every penny.Get more detail about Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore.
