Wizards vs. Marathons

[Olgaboys]

Everyone seems to praise Marathons. What about Wizards? Are they more difficult to use?

Thank you for your thoughts.

We use the wizard in both of our cars and love it. The main reason some people don't like it is that they say there kids don't like the head wings, but my DD doesn't mind them because she went right from her snugride at 4 months to her Wizard so she doesn't know any different.

She also rides in a Touriva in Grandmas car once or twice a week and doesn't mind the wings vs no wings at all at this point. I really like the wings because when DD falls asleep her head doesn't flop around.

You might also want to look at the Britax Boulevard it recently replaced the Wizard and still has the head wings for side impact protection but they are wider.

Thank you very much. I'll probably go with Wizard or BV then.:-)

We also love the Wizard. Toby was moved from the Roundabout (with no head wings) to the Wizard at about 13 months and no complaints. I am a bit skeptical about those who say the head wings don't fit their babies since I have seen them work nicely on older children and since Toby's head fits and it is abnormally large. Just wanted to toss that out in case that was a concern.
