Those of you considering the Regent should consider the Frontier if you can wait until May. I'm pretty confident on a May delivery.
Frontier is a bit smaller so may fit in many vehicles that the Regent doesn't. What exactly are some of the differences?

• Frontier is 2" narrower than the Regent
• Frontier is 8" shorter than the Regent
• Frontier's interior seat back height is 6.25" shorter than the Regent (however headrest adjusts higher up to 27.5" - still 2.5" shorter than the Regent)
• Frontier has same interior seat width as the Regent at 12"
• Frontier's seat is 1.75" deeper than ttje Regent's seat
• Regent's highest harness slot is .75" higher at 19.1" than the highest shoulder harness slot on the Frontier
• Frontier's buckle depth goes from 5" to 8.25 vs. the Regent 7.4 to 9.4" so Regent provides more room between child and crotch buckle, but Frontier provides more secure fit for younger/smaller children closer to the minimum weight
• Frontier has Britax's TSIP (True Side Impact Protection) - the Regent does NOT
• Frontier has retractable cup holders
• Fronteir has moveable armrests

	Britax Regent - Click for more info The Britax Regent is the safe way to carry your older and larger passengers, all the way up to 80 lbs. Known as the "king of all car seats," the Britax Regent will accomodate your little king or queen for far longer than traditional car seats or booster seats. The Regent features a large roto-molded shell, comfy extra-thick comfort foam, washable covers, Patented Versa-Tether™, flexible buckle LATCH system, patented HUGS™ system, and tangle-free polyester 5-point harness.

	LATCH LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren. It is a system mandated by the Federal government in an effort to standardize and simplify the installation of child restraints without using the vehicle's seat belt system. New vehicles and child safety seats manufactured on and after September 1, 2002 will be equipped with the LATCH system. Cars, minivans, and light trucks will be required to have anchor points between the vehicle's seat cushion and the seat back in at least two rear seating positions, and a top tether anchor (with the exception of convertibles). Child safety seats will have a lower set of attachments that fasten to the vehicle anchors. Most forward-facing child safety seats will also have a top strap (tether) that attaches to the top anchor in the vehicle.
