Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore


We bought this for our 5 year old, who has been using Britax Marathons (great seat) for years. The Frontier fits him very well and is comfortable and should last him for several years, in harness mode and then booster mode, until he doesn't need a booster anymore. Seems very well constructed. The problem is, it might not work in your car! We first tried installing it in our 2008 Honda Odyssey, in both 2nd row seats, and it was impossible to get it snug with the long or short belt path. No matter what, after installed I could shift the base of the Frontier towards the van door by 6 inches or more. A call to Britax confirmed that it can't be installed safely in the Odyssey in the 2nd row (because the van lower seat belt anchor is so far off to the side from the seat). I wish we had known that before buying! On the other hand, with 20 minutes of hard labor I got a very good install in our 2005 Subaru Legacy wagon (using long belt path). I think it will install well in most cars, but definitely not in the Odyssey 2nd row, so I would also have my doubts about other minivans. So, before you buy, make sure you confirm that it will install in your vehicle where you want to put it.Get more detail about Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore.
