I wonder if this will change if they make more studies now that there are seats that harness much longer like the fr85 and the Argos and such..
Actually, there are more higher weight/height choices now, but the Britax Husky and the Regent were around for quite a while with comparable weight/height limits to the Frontier, so it's not a new thing.
(and everything KQ said)
We've had a lot of discussion of this over the years; here's the most recent (I think) thread.
Basically what it comes down to after all that discussion is that a) we don't know, there just isn't that data available; b) any child in a properly used harness or booster is VERY safe compared to the average child, proper use is the most important factor, and non-use of boosters in kids who need them still is the biggest gap in safety that exists; c) any differences are likely pretty small overall, and one may be safer in one type of crash, the other in another, but in the end, any differences there are are likely balanced out to weigh fairly evenly and d) neither one is UNsafe for a child of appropriate age, weight and maturity. There are good points on each side, so in the end, either is a good choice and proper use is the most important thing.
