What is better for my 4.5 year old, Frontier or Regent?

Right now my daughter is in a Britax Marathon. We definitely want to keep her in this brand car seat, because we trust its reputation.

We want her in a 5 point harness as long as possible. We love that the new Frontier has the 5 pt plus the true side impact for the head protection. But the Frontier doesn't seem to have the deep sides for body protection like the Regent does.

Can any give their reasons on what one you think would be more suitable. Money isn't an issue. We just want the safest one for our daughter. She is seated in the middle of the back seat (we have one child).

She is 4.5 years old, weights 37 pounds and is 40.5" tall.

Thanks so much! :)

The Frontier isn't out yet, so we don't have any reviews of the seat or any way to compare it to the Regent. If you need a seat NOW get the seat that is available NOW. :twocents:

We saw the Frontier today (see Judi's post with pics of my son). I would go with the Regent; it has a higher harness height for a five point, and my guy is just now almost out of it at 54" tall; better harness for the $$ for sure.... and it is a heavier, more "solid" seat than the Frontier. The Frontier is a nice seat, but torso height for harnessing is lower than the Regent, which really disappoints me.
