Hi...I have a Subaru Outback wagon 2002. We currently have 22 Marathons in which I have my 2 and 5 year olds in. I know some carseats/cars have to be be intalled with the seat belt over 40 pounds. Is this the standard for all???

22 Marathons? WOW! heeheehee

Seriously, though, I think some go to 48 lbs. but check your car's manual for best info!

Wait, I forgot I had this site bookmarked.

Maybe someone else can explain exactly what that means?

It means you can use them up to 60 pounds in your car :)
