So many new seats... Which one?

The last time I bought a convertible seat was 2010 and that was the new britax marathon.
My daughter is almost 4. I'm thinking of moving her to the britax frontier. Any opinions on that seat?
I have a 3 month old who is already 16lbs, in a britax b-safe. I'm wanting to get her a new seat soon, I'm partial to britax but will consider others. It's going into a 2008 odyssey, but we will be getting a 2015 odyssey when they come out.
What are the "best" seats right now?

The Frontier is a great seat with a super simple install. For your baby, there are lots of good choices. Britax convertibles aren't the longest lasting for rearfacing. They are fine for average to shorter kiddos, but there are several taller options too. I'd look at the Chicco NextFit, Graco 4Ever, Graco MySize, Peg Perego, Diono Rainier, and Clek Foonf.

How are those seats to install? I have average sized kids, none of them have outgrown a britax. My almost 4 yr old is just 37lbs. I was tempted with the rainier but those scare me to install.

The NextFit is really easy with LATCH. The issue with the new Britax seats is they are outgrown RF when there is only 1" of shell above the child's head NOT headrest. That's typically around a 3T shirt or so. The others go to at least a 4T shirt, probably 5T. For an average sized child though, it will easily last RF to 3.

Since this is in the Canadian/International forum, I'm thinking OP is Canadian, meaning the nextfit or size4me/mysize aren't available Sent from my iPhone using Car-Seat.Org

Oops, I missed that. Sorry. That definitely reduces your choices.
I'd look at the Peg. It's supposed to be similar but better than the Britax seats and lasts some kids longer.
