![]() Since my 3 year old, very out-spoken daughter Sophie told me a few weeks ago that she wants a new car-seat because hers isn't "cute" anymore, I have been shopping around, looking for the best options. Safety is most important, followed by comfort and looks. But looks matter a lot, considering my little diva is very particular! So I was thinking about Britax, since their car seats are known for being among the best. I see SO many moms, online and in real life, completely rave about this brand. Sadly, I have never worked with Britax and have not yet experienced their products. So I would like some advice from you Britax-loving mamas out there. I am kind of stuck between 2 different car seats, and need some help deciding which one to purchase. This is a major investment, so I'd love to make sure I am making the best choice for my family. The Frontier 90 looks wonderful, and comes in some great colors that Sophie loves. It also has very good safety features like true side impact protection, safe cell technology, and HUGS harness. But I also love the look of the Pinnacle 90. This has a very different appearance and comes in great colors, including an adorable hot pink and black print that Sophie would go nuts over. This seat also have great safety features, and like the Frontier 90, can be used in both front facing mode or as a booster. So as you can see, I am pretty stuck here! Anyone out here have either of these seats? What are the pros and cons? Or maybe there's something else you can recommend? I'd love your feedback!

Neither are available yet. Also, someone else asked the same thing on facebook. Britax replied with: The PINNACLE 90 include our Side Impact Cushion Technology feature for additional protection in a side impact crash. You can learn more about Side Impact Cushion Technology on our website: http://www.britaxusa.com/learning-center/360-degree-protection/side-impact-cushion-technology.

Like the other person said, the only difference between the Frontier 90 and the Pinnacle 90 is the Side Impact Cushion Technology. The SICT adds width on either side and bulk to the seat. If side to side space is an issue at all, the Frontier is still going to be quite safe while allowing you a little more room. If space isn't and issue, SICT is supposed to decrease forces to the child by 40-60%; between that and the cover, it may make it worth it to you. Or, you could let your DD pick.
