Loaded with comfort and safety features, the Frontier is ideal for children ready to transition from their convertible car seat.

Easy Installation and Adjustment
The safety of your child depends on the correct installation of his or her car seat. That's why the Frontier offers a truly parent-friendly design for quick and easy set-up and adjustment. First, the premium push-button LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors ensure a fast, simple and tight installation so you know your child is secure. The tangle-free, five-point harness has eight harness heights you can adjust with one hand, and three buckle positions for a snug and secure fit. For added convenience, the headrest adjusts quickly without requiring you to re-thread the straps. True Enhanced Side Impact Protection for Peace of Mind
 The Frontier also gives you additional peace of mind by featuring engineered true side impact protection. Deep side walls and head support provide advanced shock-absorption and cushioning in side impact collisions, helping to reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) impact foam lining around baby's head and torso absorbs energy in side and rear impacts, cradles baby's head to keep it away from protruding parts, cushions violent side to side movements, and creates a comfortable resting spot. Safe for Growing Children
Besides True Enhanced Side Impact Protection, the Frontier boasts other advanced safety features that provide optimum protection. Most importantly, the patented Versa-Tether fastens the top of the car seat to factory installed automobile anchor points, reducing the possibility of a head injury. This system also allows for rear-facing tethering to help keep the seat stable. Comfort and Convenience
Car trips should be pleasant, and the Frontier has everything your child needs to relax and enjoy the ride. Dual cup holders are great for sippy cups, snacks and toys, while the armrest invites your little one to sit back and watch the world go by. Comfort foam helps make naptime cozy and restful, too, by supporting your child's neck and head in a comfortable position. The Frontier is designed to be used in the forward-facing position, with the harness, when children are two years old and weigh between 25 and 80 pounds, with a standing height of 30 to 53 inches. The booster is intended for children weighing 40 to 100 pounds and with a standing height of 42 to 60 inches. The Frontier measures 19.5 x 22.0 x 26.5 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 23.5 pounds. | Also available in: |

 Great new product with 5-point harness rated to 80 pounds! April 24, 2008

I am a certified passenger safety seat technician as well as a police officer who works in the field of traffic enforcement/safety. There a couple of things I want you to know when/if you purchase this new product so that you can have a far easier time installing it- and so you can install it correctly.
First, the instruction booklet is permanantly attached to the seat w/ a cord. Simply tuck it behind the cover to stow it. Britax has the manual available online in a PDF if you would like to sit and review it without having to crouch down and read the book attached to your seat.
Second, when you go to tighten the LATCH straps at each lower anchor, the seat is designed for you to pull these tight through the spaces in the seat shell itself (simply move the cover to the side and you will see where the back of the seat shell has a hole on each side so you can EASILY pull the LATCH webbing tight on each side). If you try to tighten these LATCH straps outside and behind the shell of the seat- YOU WILL NEVER GET IT TIGHT AND THEREFORE IT WILL NOT BE OPTIMALLY INSTALLED.
Please contact your local hospital, poice department, fire department, or Safe Kids Coalition (www.safekidsworldwide.org) for a referral to a free child passenger seat fitting station in your community if you have concerns or questions. Even if you don't have questions, it is a good idea to take your car, seat, and kiddo to one of these fitting stations to make sure you have a good installation AND good use/fit for your kids.
Finally, this seat is remarkable becuase the 5-point harnes straps are rated to a child of 80 pounds AND it converts to a booster seat for kids heavier or who otherwise won't fit in the harness. The seat is rated for 9 years (the longest manufacturer rating I have seen). And, unlike other Britax products, it is more narrow and therefore can fit in more applications than other Britax products (known for being BIG).
My kids had their first run in the seats today (I installed them last night) and we have thumbs up from both on the comfort and the fashion while I give it a thumbs up for safety/design and installation!!

Pleae check the height of the shoulder straps before buying this item!
it will hold your child in a 5 point harness up to 80 lbs, but your child will outgrow the short straps 18 inch max from rump to shoulder (2 inches shorter then the Regent!) way before they hit 80 lbs! my 2 40 lb kids are already at 17, and 18 inches so they would have to use is as a booster.
LOVE this seat, VERY easy to install! April 25, 2008

I had NO problems installing this seat with LATCH into my minivan. Apparently some people are having installation issues b/c they aren't reading the manual! On page 23, picture #8 CLEARLY shows that you need to pull the latch strap though the large slots at the back of the seat to tighten, NOT pulling from around the sides like you would in most carseats. It's terrible that this lack of intelligence has given the Britax Frontier bad reviews on another site. It is a VERY nice, heavy duty well made seat, just what you would expect from Britax! Don't be afraid to buy, just be sure to read the installtions and look at the pictures and I PROMISE it will be fine. Ours is in with the latch nice and tight, roomy and comfy for my ds...LOVE IT!!

This is the 7th Britax car seat I have purchased ( 2 in my car, 2 in hubby's and 2 in Grandmas). I was so excited with the release of the Frontier and now very frustrated as it sits in my foyer! I spent an hour trying to install it into my 2007 GMC Yukon with no luck at all. My son is 4 1/2 and 43lbs and you have to install with the shoulder belt instead of latch. I could not get the seat secure even with the tether attached. I called Britax yesterday morning and still haven't heard back. I am 99% sure that I will be returning the Frotier and buying yet another Regent. I currently have 4 Regents and absolutely LOVE them! I bought the Frontier b/c of the side impact protection and the higher weight limit. Doesn't do much good if it won't securely install in your vehicle!
I would wait to see if there is a recall before I purchased the Frontier.
