I know that these two car seats are made by Britax, but I was wondering if there is any big safety issues with the Fisher Price model, because it is about $100.00 cheaper then the Britax one.

No, it's a great choice if you just can't afford a Britax. Britax seats are very high quality and do exceed current safety standards, are easy to use, and are very comfortable. The only issue with the FP seat that I'm aware of is some people don't like the fabric choices, but that is personal preference. You also can't use the top tether in r/fing mode like you can w/ Britax seats, and because it doesn't have HUGS it only harnesses to 55lbs instead of 65lbs, but my understanding is that MOST kids outgrow the Marathon/Decathlon/BLVD seats by height before weight anyway, usually around the 55lb mark. So unless your dc is in the upper percentiles for weight this seat will probably work just as long for you as the more expensive brand.

No the only issue with th FP model is some of those other mothers may look down on you for being realistic instead just throwing away money on a brand name
