What Other Parents are saying (Reviews from Amazon):

The Good: 

Deanna D'Ambra: We bought these car seats for our 5 year old twin girls because they are the safest. They love the seats, love the pink color and are very comfortable in them. They were very easy to install in my Toyota Sienna captains chairs.

Cathy O'Donnell: This car seat is awesome. It took me a long time to find a care seat that I really wanted for my 2 1/2 year old daughter. Safety is always a concern and I never fear with a britax.It is the last car seat we will have to purchase for her because it will last for years. Over all it worth the money!

The Cons:

FAP: You need the toddler in the car in the seat to get the proper height. Plus, it's hard to pull the lever in the back up to get it to the right height.

Mom, wife: I felt the crotch-strap adjuster in the Wizard was easier to use and access than the Frontier, but it's not like it's difficult on the Frontier - just different and if I had to pick one over the other I'd pick the Wizard. But I can see that maybe the Frontier's design would prevent a child from self-adjusting. This was never an issue for us and in fact I'd often ask DD to help pull up on the lever if she was too tight so I could properly pull the straps out from the front seat.
