Good Carseat
This is a good carseat. I feel like my daughter is really safe. We have a Britax Roundabout and the Frontier is definately not as easy to install. If you read the manual it will take about 10 minutes. If you don't read the manual, it will take much longer. It is not something you want to have to move from car to car frequently. But overall, we are very happy with it.

not for kids under 4
I got this one because of lots of good reviews. But found out it's not quite a nice fit for a 2yr old. My son is almost 3 and he's tall for his age but it's uncomfortable for him because Frontier's seat is long(bottom where you rest your leg) he has to straight his legs all the time, which hurts his back because of this posture. Beware, this car seat may be good for older kids, but because they made it so it can be used for a long time, it's still too big for todder, preschooler.

Absolutely awesome
This car seat is easy to take in and out, seems very comfortable for my grandson, he loves the cup holders. The seat belts have a "click" to them so they tighten by ratcheting. Very cool.

Best design ever, but not up to my high expectations
We bought it because it's the only one in the market for up to 80 lbs w/5 point, and up to 100 lbs in booster mode. Much more sturdier and kid friendly than I though. Excellent side and head support.Very heavy and wide. Ideal for a captain chair in a minivan. 5 star rating in this.

Areas for improvement is the latch adjustment. Even pulling from the inside of the seat, the quick release attachment is too bulky and interfere with the back rest. After a long hard fight, you can get it tight. Removal is a snap thought. Excellent back strap LATCH. 4 star rating in this.

Areas to DRAMATICALLY improve, are the cup holder design, that once fully fit the seat, they open due to the pressure of the seat cushion itself. Not easy to fold or open. And the only low quality feature, is the cheap plastic buckle on the chest of the five point harness...miserable, and I'm fear it may break with the use. From my point of view, this piece is worth a recall due to the critical of it's function. 1 star rating on these two items.

This car seat rocks and is easy to install....
I was so nervous about purchasing this seat after reading all of the horror stories written on this and many other web sites. I currently own the Boulevard but was in the market for another seat. I installed the Frontier in a 2007 Volvo XC90. I didn't find that it was any more difficult than my Boulevard (which was a BREEZE!!!). The first thing I did was take a look at the seat and get a lay of the land...which you should ALWAYS do. Then I looked at the manual. It all seemed fairly straight forward. I used the anchors to install it in my 2nd row of seats. MY XC90 has a 3rd row. My husband did help me tighten the straps although that was only because I have a back injury (unrelated to the installation! :)) But it's very secure. I don't think I could move it an inch. The cup holders work well and my son seems to be happy in it. He's 2 and is a fairly tall boy. Over 36". So, I'm not sure where people ran into issues. If you can use your anchors then it will install very easily. So don't believe all the hype!!! I love it!!
