Nautilus or Frontier?

momtobe2007 · Sep 20, 2010

My dd is currently in a MA. Love it, but she's getting big for it (IMO). Also ds, will need it sooner than later. So...I am looking for the 'next step up' carseat and am trying to decide between the Nautilus and Frontier. Which do you have/prefer? Pros/cons of either? I've heard something about the kids' heads flopping in the Nautilus if they fall asleep. Same problem in the Frontier? My dd doesn't really sleep in the car, so it's not a huge concern for me. However, we do plan on taking some road trips in the near future. So, I guess she'll be doing more sleeping.

Which would you recommend? My dd, currently is 42 inches and about 42 pounds. So, she's pretty big for 3.

you might want to post this q in the "Car seats - General questions" section. How much of your LO's height is torso? (have her sit cross-legged on the floor with her back against the wall and measure distance from floor to shoulder) - this will give us a better idea of how much growing room she'd have in a harnessed seat.
Good luck! there are folks who like the Nauti better than the Frontier and others who like the Frontier better and some who like both and sometimes it depends on how well either seat fits your child and your car. So if there's a brick-and-mortar store nearby where you could try *both* first before making a decision, that'd be my suggestion. Good luck!
