Britax Frontier 85 Booster Car Seat - Maui Blue. Shipped price $178.49 from Diapers.com... Good price? can i get it cheaper anywhere else? I don't *need* it but I just miss having a Britax seat not saying they are better/safer *I* just like them! Is this seat easy to install? it'd be going into a 07 Saturn Vue either behind drivers side or in the middle and I'd be using LATCH in either position. Yes, I have 3 full sets of LATCH and can LATCH in the center seat per my car's manual.

He rides in a GN now and has a ton of room left (39ish pounds and 41 inches, mostly legs) I would like a second harnessed seat for my parents car (i'd put the GN in their car) They sometimes pick him up from my work and take him home. Currently they have a turbo booster in their car and he does good in it and fits well but he is only just turned 5 and i'd like him harnessed still.. My work is less then a mile away and the speed limit is 25 mph (35mph for .2 of the mile) I trust him to sit properly for the 2-3 minutes it takes to get home but they are not allowed to take him anywhere else..

Or do i just want to wait and get him a good booster? does the FR85 make a good booster? so many choices...

Annoying phone! Can you use LATCH in booster mode like you can on the GN?

You can LATCH it in when using it as a booster. For the most part/most kids, it does seem to make a good booster. With my DD1 and my seat belt, it seemed a bit high on her tummy. Awesome price, that's about $100 off. Is that with a 1st time customer code?

I used code "BABY9544" which i found by Googling "Diapers.com Britax discount code" it was slightly better then the 10% new custumer code.

It's on sale for $209 right now.

Thank you I think i'm going to order it! I wish I hadn't spent money on the Turbo Booster now but it was only $35 (actually $30 because I had a $5 off coupon for target)

I just bought mine from Diapers.com yesterday for $168 shipped. I used a 15% referral code, and then I added a cheap item, or an item I needed from Soap.com (with both I was a first time customer.. ) and it made the total go down more for some reason. Not sure why..

lol sorry. I replied as soon as I saw it! I am not sure if it still works, but if you print your receipt and a form saying you don't want the parenting magizine (which I dunno where the form is), if you turn it in you can get a $10 rebate instead of the Parenting magizine (which comes free with your first order). But I just don't know where to find that form anymore.. ?

Nvm- Did some googling and I think the whole Parenting thing expired.

Buying from soap.com gives you a % off but the code I used can't be used with another code so idk if that would work or not since I didn't t.ry.

referral codes might stack with other codes. Again idk

You just use one code and order something from both sites to get 20% off.

I used the code 20OFF4U (got this from retailmenot, don't think it's a referral code.). You have to enter it in Soap.com checkout and you need to add an inexpensive Soap.com item to your cart (like floss, toothbrush, etc). It's also for new customers only. Took 20% off my Britax item, plus mrrebates will give me 7% cashback. Would make a Frontier like $156 for me. I got a Parkway though.
