Has anyone installed a Frontier in an Explorer. And what are the reasons (other than it's Britax and the nicer fabric) that I should consider the Frontier over the Nautilus assuming installs are equally great and $$ is not an issue?

We have a 2001 Mountaineer and a GN. I dont have a Frontier though.. The Install is pretty good in all positions for us. The only issue is that if it is in the middle lap only belt; it doesnt leave much room for an adult to sit in the back on the sides.

I think that a Frontier would install well since the buckle stalks are not long at all.

I personally really like out Nautilus and the price won me over when I was deciding. Plus the harness height is about the same as the Frontier.

The Frontier's seatback is taller as a booster... the flip up arms might make it easier to climb in and out of it... there is a lot more crotch space when you use the furthest out crotch slot... Britax probably has better side impact protection, particularly when the seat is used as a booster... not that the Nautilus is bad at all... but..well.. you asked :whistle:

We bought a Nautilus and now need to return it because it caused dd to have AWFUL head slump problems. The back of the headwings area pushed her head out too far.

Other than that, we loved it, but couldn't deal with that problem because it was giving her neck aches. :(
