It could be placed in the center with a seat belt, as most vehicles do not have a center latch system (and you won't want to use latch anyhow when you see how easy and secure the seat straps in with the "click tight" technology.). However, this car seat is huge and I can't imagine you would be able to get a person on each side of it unless you drive a crazy huge vehicle. We drive an Odessey. We probably couldn't buckle it in the center if either the second or third row and still have room for the other passengers to be able to buckle, as the center seats are considerably smaller than a standard side seat.

Oh, and it doesn't rear face, so this seat would be best for a child over 2 that has outgrown their rear facing seat. The manual says 25-90lbs for a harnessed child and 40-120lbs when used as a booster.

Yes it can be set in the middle seat. For children over about 40 pounds you will want to use the seat belt to strap it in. It fits children 25-120 pounds and tends to fit children of heights to 57 inches, taller than many other seats.

I live in southwest Texas and so far no problems! Once your child is bigger and you can remove the padded seat liner the seat will be even cooler. The only time my little guy gets sweaty is on his back if we are in the car for a long stretch, but other than that we don't have any problems and in my opinion the fabric and seat design has better air flow than the Britax.

I got this seat for my son at 1 years old. He was 23 lbs and 32" your child is at min weight but he may not be ready to sit in this seat. In my opinion he's very young. Plus I think he still needs to face the back of the car. If you like this kind of seat I would get one with the recliner feature. So he sits a bit craddled. I would do a bit more research.

The back seat reclines well enough that our 1 2/2 year old could lay back and rest. The back seat reclines to a 45 degree angle.

The seat is big enough that it would fit a tall child with long legs. My kids are still young but my sister-in-law has older kids that are tall and they still use their Britax without any complaints.

The most important (I would argue) difference is the height maximums. The Frontier 90's highest harness position is 20.5" whereas the Pioneer 70's highest position is 18.5", on par with a lot of other combination seats out there. A lot of the time kids outgrow seats by height before weight - few kids would be able to use this seat harnessed all the way to 90 lbs or the Pioneer to 70 lbs. The Frontier, as the tallest combination seat on the market, is great for really tall kids but may be overkill for kids of more average or short stature.

Not sure but ours are just tucked behind the booster seat in the chair. We LOVE these boosters!! Our girls are 5 1/2 and 3 and have been using them for 2 years and still going strong! Great product!

I have a 2012 Honda Accord 4-door and I have it in the back center seat. It almost precludes anybody else from sitting on either side of the car seat. Petite skinny people barely fit next to the seat and have to sit with their shoulders at an angle fit between the door and the car seat. We moved this car seat to the truck and I am now shopping for another car seat that fits better.

I debated for about a month or two on weather to get the radian or a britax and I have a friend who was certified for installing carseats and apparently britax shortened their seats so kiddos outgrow them faster..the the radian has a steal frame..allows you to rear face til 45 pounds and lasts through a booster seat:) diono also just came out with a carseat called the Pacifica that actually allows you to rear face your child til 50 pounds and ya still in the same price range as the radian and britax:)

For me, the Frontier is the no-brainer decision between these two seats. The parkway is ONLY a booster. The Frontier will high-weight harness up to 85 before converting to a booster that goes up to 120 lbs. Keeping your child in a 5-point harness as long as possible is much safer than transitioning to a booster. I own two Frontier 85's and my 4 year old absolutely loves it.

Hey!I has alita in the center where the seatbelts would be... if that's what you mean. Hope this helps!

I would also like to see someone address this. I have a 3 1/2 year old who is in the lower percentages for his age. He is 33 lbs and so it says (on the "fit my child" part of the Britax website) that either the Advocate or the Frontier would work for him.The differences I see is the Advocate sits up slightly higher, and it reclines.But the Frontier has arm rests and cupholders.

Britax's website (I don't think I can post a link here but it's their name, then usa, .com). They have a great tool for side by side comparison for all of their seats, height & weight restrictions, etc) If I'm reading the specs right (please don't quote me on this), the height restrictions are the same (49'). It's the weight that's the big difference. It goes up to 40lb rear facing, 70lb front facing. My son is on the smaller side (he's 18 months and just now getting into 12-18 mo clothes) and I bought this seat because I knew it would last a while rear facing.

Update: It is 9 years for Frontier 90. Found it in the user manual on the britax site. On page 2 it says: "To prevent injury due to deterioration or hidden damage, discontinue use of this child seat when it is older than nine years or has been in a moderate or severe crash. See Serial Number and Manufactured Date Label located on the child seat shell." http://www.britaxusa.com/uploads/products/user-guides/122.pdf I couldn't find information on expiration for Frontier 90, but managed to find out that older version called Frontier had expiration date set to 9 years from date of manufacture. http://www.britaxusa.com/car-seats/frontier

Hi R. Paulina, After I did some research about your inquiry, the back seat is for older kid, can be sit or stand. For more info, you can visit this website here http://www.babytrend.com/sit_n_stand_sup_174_sup_ultra/SS66436.htmlI hope this will help.Best regard,Henry

I have standard seats but it looks like it would fit fine. It's pretty sturdy and a kid would be safe on it even if there was space at the back.

I have both. I *LOVE* both. I say if you need room, go with Radian, If you have the room and your child has outgrown the 45lb weight limit or nearing it to RF in the Radian, go with Britax (Frontier 90) Both HIGHLY HIGHLY rated for safety and overall so either one is great. Radian over Frontier: - Child is less than 3-4yrs old. - Child is below 45 RF weight limit (of the radian, Frontier doesn't RF) - If you need more room - If you plan on flying Frontier over Radian: - Child is over 3-4yrs old. - Child is at or near the 45 RF weight limit (of the radian, Frontier doesn't RF) - If your child is on the "bigger" side
