We are considering getting this booster for DS1.  Anyone have feedback on it? Thanks!

we have the britax frontier 85 in one car and the graco nautilus in the other car.  I couldn't decide which one to buy so I bought both.  I much prefer the graco and I am actually starting to hate our britax.  Our britax is about a year old so that might make a difference but the straps are much easier to adjust, meaning pull out and tighten each time she gets in and out, on the graco.  Our britax straps are really hard to adjust and sometimes if we pull the straps out too far the back clip thing gets stuck on something and we have to take the entire seat out of the car.  the seat cover does not stay in place on our britax also, it pops off at the bottom and this also makes it difficult to adjust the straps.  I would say do some reading on amazon on both the frontier and the nautilus and see what people are saying.  Maybe britax has fixed the issues with the straps since we got ours.  Good luck, Jenn

We bought this for DD earlier this year, and love it.  We have not had any problems like PP had...or any problems at all, actually.  It's been great and I am considering buying the same one for DS when he grows out of his Britax Roundabout.

BUT - I keep wondering if we should just save the $$ and buy the Graco...is there that much difference, really, to warrant the price on the Britax?  It's hard for me to say since we have only had Britax carseats and I have been extremely satisfied with all of them.

Like PP, we have the Frontier in one car and the Nautilus in the other b/c I couldn't decide.

But I prefer the Britax.  My issue with the Nautilus is that DS is too adept at unsnapping the Nautilus straps and when he's bored will unsnap himself out of the carseat.  

DS hasn't complained, but I also think the Britax looks a little more comfortable than the Nautilus.
