My daughter is 4-years-old, 43 lbs, 44 inches tall, 23.5 inches sitting height (head), 16 inches sitting height (shoulders).
She is currently rear-facing in a Radian RXTL, about to turn FF because of weight, in our 02 Honda Odyssey. She is also forward-facing in two other vehicles in Britax Boulevards (2008 boulevard and 2010 boulevard 70).
It looks like she is going to outgrow the sitting height FF for the boulevards.
We are considering the Britax Frontier 85 SICT for her but have heard about possible install issues in the ODY. The Radian was such a nightmare to get a good install with that we don't want another one ever. Right now we have it in well with seatbelt and an angle adjuster, but it has a slight tilt for some reason that a tech said was okay and we can't seem to get rid of. We are going to install it with LATCH for our baby, due in late April (going to try out being in a convertible right away, but if we can't get a good fit we will run out and get an infant seat, my daughter as a very large infant outgrew her infant seat at 4 months old), and that may be easier. Obviously, the frontier will need to be installed with seatbelt because of my 4yo's weight.
Will the frontier install in the middle third row (we have the weird seatbelt connector thing) or in the captain's chair second row?
Other tips/suggestions?
We love the Britax seats for easy/tight installs. I was hoping the frontier would be the same.
Thanks in advance!
