Our Dear Son has almost completely outgrown his Britax Marathon. I must say to those with younger children the Marathon's are great! My son is tall for his age and although there is plenty of room in the seat side to side for his bottom the Marathon is getting small in the buckle area and his broad shoulders are rounding in the car seat. He is tall and a bit lanky.
I would like to stick with a harness if possible. I do not know when the new Britax Frontier is coming out (or is it really a Regent?)
I considered a non-harness until I read the following-

I live in Los Angeles with plenty of bad drivers. I have been rear-ended multiple times by idiots while I was at a stop sign or stop-light parked.
Is the Safeguard Go better for big kids (with harness) or the Britax?
What about side impact issues? Would the Safeguard Go fit as a 3rd carseat for the occaisional friend in a Blazer if we have one Marathon, and two Safeguard Gos or One Marathon and one Regent and one Safeguard Go?
Any suggestions, we drive alot.
