I haven't done that vehicle, but generally you can try SBP and if it doesn't seem to get tight, go with LBP. Have you installed the Frontier before? The videos are helpful if you're new to LBP especially:

And here's short:

Don't forget to hook up your top tether - and adjust the straps to at or above your child's shoulders before you get it in the car, you can't move them without uninstalling otherwise.

I have a 2011 Traverse, but with a bench seat and I have installed it both in the 2nd and 3rd rows. In the 2nd, I have done LATCH and LBP (NOT together!) and in the 3rd row LBP. In the 3rd row passenger side, I had to have help as the belt it BARELY long enough. I can not get it myself. I prefer LBP when ever possible over SBP.
