    Question is this safe? new frontier with wrinkling

    Just got or two new frontiers in today. I installed one in my matrix, but I noticed the plastic on the side has some wrinkling. I tried to call Britax, but they had just closed. I haven't checked the other seat yet since I had to take my daughter to dance class.

    Need help with the fit of Marathon rear facing

    Hi! So, I don't really need help with installation fit since we have that part down. My issue is how it fits my daughter (16 months, 24lbs, 29".) I know it is ok for her legs to be bent, but they just seem more bent than they should be. Over all it is just difficult to get her in. She seems so...
