which seat should I buy next?

hi, my first time here, and i have read many posts but still couldn't figure out an answer.

My ds is 5 years old , 115cm tall and is about 40 pounds( on our lucky days:))
His Britax marathon will expire this June.
I don't feel comfortable to put him in a booster yet.
I'd like a harnessed booster.
I like Britax, and was gonna buy Frontier until I read some not so good reviews about it. (fabric can't be washed, hard to install..etc)

Is there any good harnessed booster in the Canadian market or should I buy another Britax convertible (which kind)?

Though ds is not a chubby kid, I still find Marathon a bit narrow for him.

any input is appreciated.

The nautilus is now available in Canada. If you can, I'd try out both the Nautilus and the Frontier in person and see which one you like better.

I think your choices are pretty much the Britax Frontier or the Graco Nautilus. My personal choice would be the Frontier for a couple reasons... I think it will last a child a lot longer because it goes higher in booster mode and there seems to be a lot more harness to get a child closer to 65lbs in it. The Frontier can be a little tricky to install but honestly it installs much better than the GN IMHO. The other thing is the Frontier has a longer expiry on it. You get 9 years on the whole thing, with the GN you only get 6 on the harness and high back booster and 9 years on the booster cushion. I vote Frontier!
