How's the frontier for sleeping as compared to the Nautilus?

I'm thinking of getting the frontier as my next seat for when my DS turns FF but he almost always sleeps in the car. Are your little ones comfortable sleeping in the frontier? Are there usually floppy heads?

My dd has always been comfortably supported in her FR when napping ...here's a picture... http://picasaweb.google.com/joolstag/Frontier#5289064252201740802
Not sure how old your kiddo is, but I just want you to be aware that the bare minimum to use the FR is age 2 and at least 25 pounds :thumbsup:

I find the Frontier to be better than the Nautilus, but the car does have something to do with that.

My DS sleeps well in his frontier, but I can't really compare to the Nautilus since I've never tried it. His head doesn't slump at all. It's nowhere near as comfy as he was rfing, but he seems to like it well enough.

My daughter has had head slump in the frontier, but I just reach back and rub her leg and that bugs her enough that she moves and gets in a better position without waking up. (this is with DH driving, which he usually does) Most of the time she does sleep fine in it.

My daughter sleeps really good in her Frontier. She's never had a Nautilus but my 6-year old nephew has one and I know he sleeps good in his.

We have both and DD sleeps well in both. She says she likes her GN better, but that may be because it has butterflies on it.

DD gets head slump in the nautilus. The other seat we have is the Marathon and she never gets head slump in that!

My dd doesn't get head slump in the Nautilus but she did get it in the Frontier. She kept on waking up over and over until she finally found a way to position herself where it wasn't dropping down as far.

This definitely seems to be something that varies by kid though.

My DD finds the Nautilus as comfy for sleeping as she did her Marathon, and I haven't seen her head slump in it at all yet. Haven't tried out a Frontier for comparison ...

We have both seats and saddly enough we've had head slump in both. It does not seem to bother DS and he has gotten better at positioning himself so that his head slump issues don't happen as often.

I've had both for my dd1 and she had head slump in the GN but hasn't in the Frontier.

We have a frontier and Jordan sleeps well in it. Sometimes his head slumps, and sometimes it doesn't.
