My DD is about to turn 4 and she is almost 40lbs. She is currently in a Radian but she complains a lot about her butt hurting if we are in the car for more than an hour. :eek: She has never complained while in her BV but that is being occupied by my niece right now. Sooo my question, which should i choose? We had a Frontier in the past but I sold it. The ProSport looks really plush but huge! lol For anyone that has used both, do you prefer one over the other? How easy are the Recaro seats to install? Thanks in advance.

We love our ProSport- it is SO simple to install. We have had no issues installing it in at least 15 different vehicles! The top slots are bit smaller than the Frontier... The Frontier has been a big issue of insall for us- so I decided that it wasn't an option to even consider the new Frontier 85.
The ProSport is very plush (but the headwings are not as plush as they look- they are kind of hard)... It is a bit more difficult for my DS to strap himself in than in the frontier and regent... but he is figuring it out.
The install is super easy with both the latch and the seatbelt. If not using the latch- there are holders for them.
The harness is very easy to adjust- and move up and down.
There is a recline base on it that helps- we don't get any head slump...
The ProSport does not require a top teather... which is good because our van does not have them...

The only thing that bugs me about the ProSport is when using it with a lap shoulder belt. Sometimes it will it right across the harness slot.

About the lab/shoulder belt going right over harness slots... For us it has only happened in SOME vehicles.
My Suburban it does it... my moms impala not at all... My brothers cadilac only on the 2nd slot but not the 1 down from top... .
