 Own 2 Frontiers and the Nautilus
By P. moore
I own 2 Britax Frontiers in Pink, and the Graco Nautilus in pink as well. As a Mother who owns both models, I will tell you the major deviations amid these two seats from my point of view.
#1 Frontier is more highpriced (which is why I got the Nautilus for my spare)
#2 Frontier is SO much posing no difficulty to adjust the shoulder height strap. With a simple squeeze of a lever, the straps go up. The Graco needs to be rethreaded. This is BIG pain when you have another child who wants to use the seat. With the Frontier, it is no biggie to pull the lever.
#3 Frontier seat material is prone to wear where the child’s bottom and legs rub on the seat. It likewise shows WAY more stains and soaks up spills more quickly than the Graco.
#4 Frontier has 3 crotch strap adjustments for easy fitting. The Graco only has 2 which makes the older kids sit on the strap. This may get uncomfortable. My oldest DD takes the pad off of the crotch strap on the Frontier (she says it makes the seat look like a “baby seat” with the pad), but she may not do this with the Graco, as the crotch strap rubs on her legs causing red aggravation when wearing shorts. The graco pad is very thick and wraps the entire strap (between the legs) and then goes up to sit on the belly. She does not seem to mind sitting on it, but it does not look too comfortable to me.
#5 Padding on Frontier is WAY thicker (on both seat and seat back)and more comfortable to sit on. I can’t imagine that the Graco would be comfortable for long trips.
#6 Heads slump forward for younger kids when sleeping in the Graco. The “wings” around the head are very fat (giving the aspect of a “yonger child’s seat”) and are so close to the child’s head that it causes it to go forward when sleeping. The frontier has wider “wings” and are perfective for sleeping children. The “wings” are further away from the head and are angled just right as to grant sleeping and looking out the window. The “wings” are thinner and have more of a “big” kid look. This thinner look in NO WAY implies that Graco is safer for the thicker “wings”, as Britax states that it is wings are “true side affect protection”. Graco does not state this. The plastic around wings appear to be of more inviolable material on the Frontier, even altho they are thinner. Frontier likewise has the “hugs” system on the harness to minimize forward head movement. Graco does not.
#7 The Graco has only a 12.5 inch seat width for the child to move around in. The Frontier has a 12.5 seat area around the tush, but opens to a extensive 17 inch wide seat. This may not be an issue for the younger kids, but the older ones need more space. This may, however, be an issue for little cars.
#8 Cup holder and “hidden” storage are neat in the Graco. The Frontier has 2 cup holders, but they may not both be out, as one hits the door when installed on far right or left. The cup holders also do not go with no problems or difficulties in and out when installed in the vehicle, as the seat blocks the cup holder from retracting. This does not occur when the seat is not snugged down, but when installed….. This is not too much of an issue as we just leave them out. This is only an issue when I have a third child attempting to walk to the back 3rd row amongst 2 Frontiers with cup holders out!
Bottom line. If you need a car seat around the time that Britax has a sale, I would get it over the Graco. The price divergence at that time would only be $50. I think that your big kids will be happier in the Frontier. If you have a littler child, remember, he/she will be a big kid soon!

 better than radian or britax in my modest opinion
By Misstico
So I did a LOT of reseach before buying this, read multiple message boards, then to the store to look at them, etc. This substituted a britax that was passed down to DD #2 for my rather big 4 yo girl(40lbs, 40inches)I want to keep her harnessed for as long as I can. I in the long run decisive to go for it b/c of
1)price (though it genuinely wasn’t an object) but I am a huge fan of bang for your buck,
2)sturdiness, i was never a fan of graco until i purchased this seat. It’s got a nice weight, sturdy frame.
3)comfort, memory foam! DD loves it, she sleeps very comfortably in it without slumping over like she applied to.
4)size, not gigantic like the regent but big it sufficient to have a big kid sit in it
I was concerned regarding it is looks but it’s much better looking in person.
Finally, who may beat amazon’s price!
I highly commend it, I think it will last my DD until she’s prob 7-8 yo (My intermediate sized 8yo nephew fits!)

 Would have been a 5, except for one thing…
By Dad of two boys
The crotch strap.
This seat looked idealisti in each way. I liked it right out of the box, and when I put it together. It was precisely what I was looking for.
Then, I sat our average-sized 3 1/2 year old in it, boxed it up and sent it back, very disappointed.
The crotch strap, in the nearest position, was underneath the back of my son’s crotch. In the further (and only other) position, it was even with, and somewhat pressing against, the front of my son’s crotch. In other words, no room to grow whatsoever. There is no way possible that this seat would grant my son to sit comfortably in a five-point harness all the way up to 65 pounds. At that point, the strap would be well underneath his crotch and be uncomfortable and dangerous. No way… and I in truth wanted it to. If there was one further and added slot for the strap, an inch or so further out, this seat would be PERFECT, in my opinion.
So, I gave this seat a 3 out of 5. For a younger child, or one just reaching my son’s age and size (again, he is very intermediate in weight, height), I would in all probability rate this seat a 5. But, since it distinctly will not be capable to do what it says it will have to do, up to 65 pounds, I can not give it a 5. I candidly don’t recognise how any child may be accomodated in this seat up to 65 pounds, unless they are a very, very skinny 65 pounds.
If Graco updates this seat to add one extra slot an inch or so further out for the strap, I would buy it again immediately. I was, and am, a little angry that the seat won’t work as advertised. Buyer beware; look up the few other remarks on the crotch strap first. Then, please, go to the store and “test seat” this seat before buying, and please consider how huge your child will be at 3 1/2, or older. Otherwise, you may find the same disapointing fact I did.
