Lowest Price Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore

I am a HUGE advocate for car seat safety. Even if you think you have your car seat installed "correctly" you should always stop by a car seat safety check, usually at a local car dealership. They assist you with adequately securing your car seat into your car. Anyway, when I started looking for car seats I read articles and consumer reports and reviews. I spent a good six months researching and deciding which booster seat my 3 year old was going to be safest in. She is a big girl for her age: 42 lb and 41".
I have to admit I am very price driven in most categories of my life, but when it comes to car seats for my children I don't care about the price tag. I will cut my budget in other areas for awhile to make up the difference. I am a nurse in a children's hospital and after seeing a couple of toddlers with head injuries as a result of a motor vehicle crash you really don't put a price on safety.
My daughter had been in the Britax Marathon and my husband and I loved that seat, but our son was growing out of his infant seat. He would be graduating into the Marathon and I wanted to find a seat for our daughter that could be a booster, but still had 5 point harness. She is still too young to be strapped in by car seat belt alone. The longer a child can be secured with 5 point harness the safer they are. My research brought me to the Britax Frontier and the Graco Nautilus. I was already partial to the Britax brand, but I realize that sometimes brands may be excellent with one product, but not another. My deciding factor was the Frontier seat crash test video clip from Britax's website.
The biggest cons I found people listing about the car seat were: 1 it was much heavier and 2 it was difficult to get secured tightly. The car seat is much heavier than the Marathon seat, but if you think about the child that you are placing in the Frontier they are bigger/heavier than when in the Marathon or other convertible car seats. I will agree it was a bit more difficult to secure the seat tightly, but I read a review that the person informed everyone if they read the owner's manual before installation you should not have a problem. My husband fell victim to this condition, he installed the seat without me and then complained up an down how he couldn't get it tight and it was difficult... I asked him if he read the manual first..."Um, no." So, I pulled out the manual and read the instructions, installed the seat myself and Ta Da, car seat secure and tight and not overly difficult.
Britax is known to have "large" seats and people with smaller cars may not be able to have these seats. I drive a 2005 Chevy Imapla and don't have a problem with both the Frontier and Marathon in my back seat. No one can sit in the middle of the back seat, but that is not a problem for my family of 4.
We are very happy with this seat and are sure we made the "safest" choice.
