Sarah came over tonight and we played musical seats. She wanted to try the Frontier 85 in her car and w/Jackson to see if it fit and how much grow room he had. It fits her car like a DREAM (the regular Frontier did not work for her) and Jackson...who is a BIG 3yr old...has oodles of growing room in the Frontier 85...but is already getting squished in the Nauti despite having one harness slot left.
FWIW, I only got 19.5" for the top harness height. Oh, and despite the Frontier being physically narrower then the Nauti...it has more seating room. :thumbsup: And the Nauti crotch strap at the furthest out spot...is the same as the Frontier's middle position...so a full 2" more room in the Frontier. The crotch strap is shorter on the Frontier though, by about 1". And the Frontier seat is much deeper then the Nauti too.
On to the pics...(and sorry, no booster mode pics...somehow we missed those, though we did compare them!).
Both seats at the lowest settings.
Both at the highest (had to rotate the block on the Frontier to keep it from sliding forward on the floor!)
Seat depth.
And Jackson...with the seat all the way up to show how much room to grow he has...uninstalled...so obviously installed will change this slightly.
And the lowest harness slots on the Frontier are honestly a joke! I can't imagine any kid needing them, that fits the requirements for the seat. Even my peanut of a 2yr old is on the 3rd from the bottom setting...and he's tiny....and doesn't have a long torso AT ALL.
But, after comparing the 2 seats...the Frontier 85 wins hands down!
