 5 stars for safety but 4 for installation. September 23, 2008
This seat was my pick for our 4 year old who has outgrown her Britax Roundabout. I read the reviews warning the installation hassles, but figured it was worth the headache.
Once I finished fighting with the LATCH straps and pulling with all my might - bruising my fingers in the process - the seat was firmly cemented into my car's back seat.
I feel very confident that if anything were to happen to us on the road that my daughter will be as safe as possible.
I love Britax and regardless of the installation struggle, wouldn't hesitate to recommend this seat to anyone.
 Cute but horrible! September 22, 2008
I purchased these carseats about three months ago. I have two girls ages 6 and 3, so I bought two. I researched for a long time. I have never used any other than Britax for my choice of carseats. We were auctually in a deadly car accident, my kids were both in there Britax Roundabout seats and were unharmed! That is the reason I returned to buy the new one's. I saw the Frontier and I thought it was so cute (we have the pink ones). LET ME WARN YOU... The upholstery is SO itchy. We live where it gets hot during the summer and my kids would have a rash after getting out of the car. The seat is HUGE! I have an SUV and the both of them take up the entire middle row, wich makes it impossible to get to the back row! It is very hard to install, hard when you are using the seatbelt only option. The worst though is that the cover is not removable. My daughter was sick and threw up and now this car seat is sitting in our garage. I did the best I could wiping it down. The seat is a great idea because I feel like my kids will never outgrow it but, it is just NOT practical AT ALL. I like the five point harness and the fact my girls feel like big kids because it have the "booster" look to it. I still love Birtax and am shopping for new one's. They need to pull this one and make major improvements!
 5 Pt harness is not for tall kids! September 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this seat specifically to use the 5 pt harness for my oversized 3 year old, but my son is too tall by several inches to use the five point harness - He meets the listed height/weight requirements, but according to the manual, we would have to use the seat only in booster mode - he can get out of his booster, which is why I wanted the 5-pt for as long as possible. He is 43 or 44" and 39 lbs - the info says you can use the harness to 80 lbs, but I can't imagine how square a kid would have to be to be 80 lbs and fit under the harness slots - they look more appropriate for my 10 month old. We're going to try the Britax Roundabout or Graco 3-way. Otherwise, it looks like a nice seat!
 Works Great! September 22, 2008
My daughter is very, very happy with her new car seat, which she says is more comfortable then her old seat. It was fairly easy to install into the car (like any other seat) and I love the 5 point harness, yet later we can convert to booster. The seat is wide enough and comfortable and I'm very happy with the color. The cup holder and arm rest is okay.....my daughter doesn't use them very much so it's okay. I am very happy with the price and the purchase! It arrived promptly!! Happy in Hawaii.
Great product September 21, 2008
I bought this for my 4 year old son. I wanted to have him stay in a five point harness as long as possible. This seat has it all- five point harness to 80 lbs, true side impact head protection, cup holders, and the ability to convert to a booster.
We are both very happy with this seat.
I would suggest printing out a copy of the manual because the one that comes with the seat is attached to the seat. Then read it from front to back and go check out your car to see which installation will work best with your car.
I had to use the long belt path in our Dodge Ram extended cab truck. It did take a lot of work and time to get this seat installed but it won't budge now.
