FF seat which one (deciding between two)?

Would you prefer the Britax Frontier or the Radian XT for FF harnessed only (meaning the fact that the Frontier turns into a booster isn't important)?

I like the Frontier for the taller top slots. My kids have lasted a year longer in the Frontier than the Radian.

Assuming a good install with both, I prefer the Frontier for FF. Those are DD1's two seats. She likes the Frontier better as well.

As an overall seat, though I like the Radian a bit better. But that's comparing apples to oranges. Only looking at FF, I definitely prefer the Frontier. Fits kids longer, has a cupholder (LOL this is important to DD1), and you don't have to rethread the harness to adjust the height.

Definitely the FN.

The seat is wider/deeper and more comfy for a bigger kid. My DD cris-crosses her legs very comfortably and complains that she can't do that in the RN.

So also likes having the cupholders.

And I prefer the harness adjuster on the FN over the RN. They both ratchet once it gets tighter, but the FN is much smoother.

I think that the crotch buckle sits out further on the FN also. I think.
