Britax Frontier Booster Car Seat Rushmore

Product Description

imensions: 19.5 x 22 x 26.5 inches Weight: 23.5 pounds

We were looking for a car seat that would accommodate a child up to 85-100 LBS. We are very happy with the Britax Frontier Car Seat. The installation and set up was a snap and easy in and easy out for our grandson. We highly recommend this item.


This is an amazing car seat. It is extremely well crafted, and loaded with features. If you check the ratings, you will find that it out performs other similar car seats for height and weight of your child, outlasting many other car seats that cost less. The adjustable head rest allows you to adjust the height of the seat as your child grows. We bought two of these seats to replace our Britax Roundabouts and have had them for about two months now. This seat is easy to install and easy to travel with on an airplane. The only downside is that the strap covers and strap protectors can be somewhat frustrating when strapping your child in.

Advice for any car seat: Make sure you read the manual cover to cover and check your car's owner's manual for weight limitations on the latch system. You may need to use the seat belt to attach the car seat if your child exceeds 40lbs. Have a professional double check your installation, to make sure it is installed correctly. Many local police departments have a certified car seat installer who can guide you through the process. Make sure you check the expiration date on you car seats before passing them on. Many older seats are only good for 5 years from the date they are manufactured.




I have been a big Britax fan for the past 5 years, owning 2 Marathons over that time. I aged up to the Frontier about 5 months ago when my daughter approached 40lbs. The construction is good and I feel confident that these would hold up in an accident.

There are only 2 reasons why I give the Frontier 4 instead of 5 stars. One, it was recalled at the first of the year. Britax issued a small part to correct it, but it does make one wonder a bit of course. Two, they can not build a car seat where the straps don't get twisted. I've seen other reviewers complain so I know I'm not alone. I prayed the Frontier would be a better design, but alas, my straps actually look worse on the Frontier for my 5 year old than they do for my 2.5 year old in the Marathon. Regardless of the strap frustration, I still like the seat and the 5 point harness since my child is not a big 5 year old.


I own the Britax Frontier and the Britax Regent. While I like both, I like the Frontier better. It is easy to install, easy to adjust, has cup holders on both sides, and is comfortable for my son. He loves it and so do we.


I read the other reviews prior to purchasing, and I'm not sure why people had trouble installing this seat. I have a Toyota Sienna and the seat fit right in and installed really easy! The latches adjust on both sides which is great! Much easier than trying to thread a seatbelt! I love the security it offers even when switching from 5-point to a booster! I have a big 3 yr old and he's MORE than comfortable in this big seat. I do travel alot and no longer bring a car seat on the plane, however I wouldn't want to lug this one with me if I did. Its really heavy. So, have an option if you do plan to travel w/your seat. Other than that, I would fully recommend this seat!


We have a Britax Roundabout, which we love, so wanted next car seat to be Britax. There are several problems with this:

1. I can live with tricky installation. But after doing the tricky installation, the seat should be rock solid. This one wouldn't hug the 04 Passat Wagon's middle seat when using the LATCH system.

2. I can live with using the seat belt instead of LATCH (we do that in the other car where we have a seat from French manufacturer that doesn't have LATCH). SO tried the LONG BELT PATH installation. Turns out that the seat is too big for the standard seat belt to use the long belt path. The long belt path method intuitively seems more stable than short belt path. For the other French seat, we use the long belt path method and it works.

3. So we have to live with SHORT BELT PATH. OK - it's no worse than LATCH, so can live with that. Tried that installation. The seat moves too much, doesn't hug the car (same problem as with LATCH installation).

4. If you want to install on the side instead of the middle, it may work. But it's too big if you want to install this one and another seat, and one of them has to be in the middle.

The seat is very heavy and solidly built, which inspires confidence in safety (hence two stars, not one). But if it keeps moving... well, they got the basics wrong. The roundabout is great, never moves one bit!

The frontier has other small problems (the clip can slide down the belt all the way unlike on roundabout because frontier doesn't have the velcro straps, for example). We would have lived with those or fixed those under normal circumstances, but can't live with major flaw like this.


We purchased a Britax Frontier car seat for our 3 year old Godson. We were very glad that there was a review on your site which gave very specific information as to getting the car seat secured properly. Pulling the latch straps back through the seat shell was the key to tightening up the seat.The seat seems to be very comfortable and there seems to lots of growing room for our Godson.The 5 point harness is easy to fasten and unfasten. We feel that this will be the last car seat we will every have to purchase for him.We are very happy with our purchase.


My daughter is 3.5 years old. We had the Britax Roundabout for her since she was born and loved it. It was very sturdy and we felt she was very safe in it. It was very easy to install and even very easy to change from vehicle to vehicle. This new Britax Frontier also appears to be top-notch in terms of safety for our daughter. She is very comfortable in it and we like the fact that the 5-pt harness can be used up to 100 lbs. Children should be kept in a 5-pt harness for as long as possible. The only reason I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 is because the seat is rather heavy and more difficult to install and trasfer from vehicle to vehicle. I suppose it might have to be heavier because it is for older children, but it does make it more difficult to handle!


We ordered the Frontier Booster Car Seat in the Canyon color after our son outgrew his last Britax seat. Love it, what a great brand! The seat fits perfectly in a Captain's chair in our Buick Enclave. It was a bit of work for my husband to install but we both feel like it's a heavy-duty secure seat for our son, I don't think they get any safer than this seat. Just wish they made it in a solid tan color like his old seat; black is not so practical in summers in Texas! Very easy to get our son in and out and I like the cup holders/arm rest features.


This is a great car seat. I know that my daughter is well protected in it. It is well-built and will allow her to use a 5-point harness longer than she would be able to in other car seats. The side-impact head rests are another safety feature that drew me to this product. The seat is very comfortable for her and she loves climbing in and out by herself (a lot easier than her Britax Marathon). She also loved the idea of the cup holders, although even our smallest water bottles are a bit to wide to come in and out easliy, which is frustrating for her.

I must say that even though I read the manual VERY carefully, this seat was really tough to install. Based on the manual's recommendations, if the seat belt receptor was positioned behind the car seat, we should have used the short-belt path installation. When we tried the short belt path method, we could not get the car seat anchored sufficiently, it slid around way too much (even with the top tether in place). Ultimately, we used the long-belt path installation and it is very stable now. That being said, it took a LONG time to get it tightened and secure in the middle of the back seat of our Highlander. This car seat will not be moving from car to car.

We have not used the car seat in Booster mode so I cannot comment on that.
