Britax Frontier

Has anyone used the Britax Frontier on Air Canada yet. We are going on a short trip and I was trying to decide between bringing my Marathon or Frontier?

I figure the Frontier will be a lower seat on the airplane for my 31/2 year old.

Hmmm, if there is a choice between an MA and FN for air travel, I think I would pick the MA for better transportability. The FN might be lower down but I still think the tray would be off limit anyway, but that's just me guessing from the distance of the airplane row, the height of the tray and the size of the FN.

thanks...I think I will try the MA. This is our first flight with my son so I've been reading up on threads of how to use MA on aircraft. Beside twisting the lap belt to access buckle , seems like it should be easy?
Fingers crossed.....

Yeah, fairly straight forward to install. If you need to recline the back of the aircraft seat first and then bring it back up after installing for tight installation. And pls do not forget to twist the female part of the buckle to have the release latch upside down before buckling and tightening. I forgot once with our first trip going ff and paid dearly for it.
