DS just turned 6. He's 46 inches tall with a shoulder height of 12 inches. He weighs 44lbs. He just outgrew the Boulevard and I ordered the Frontier. Problem is, I HATE it. It's big, bulky, heavy, and difficult to install in the 3rd row of my '06 Odyssey, especially given that I often have to rearrange carseats, carry extra kids, etc. So I packed it up and prepared to send it back. But then I spent all last night researching and returned to my original conclusion that the Frontier is the safest option for him. But I still hate it! WWYD? Keep a seat you hate because you think it's the best for your kid? Or am I wrong to think this is the "best" option? Is there something else that offers SIP with a harness for his weight/height with room to grow?
And my other question: is a harness inherently *safer* than using the belt for my kid at this age? I know he will wear the belt properly and sit still. He's very safety conscious.
I did go ahead and order the Parkway as a 2nd seat because it's so cheap right now and I do :heart: everything Britax (except the Frontier!).
I'm wondering if at this point DS would be just as safe in the Monterey or Start? Or something else?
Ugh, mass confusion here! Thanks for your help!
