Hi (sorry, kind of a long post),
I just wanted to say thanks to all of you dedicated Moms who answer so many questions. I learn so much just by reading through old posts.
We just bought two Marathons and are now trying to figure out the configurations for our 3 year old son (~31 lbs) and 8 month old daughter (~17 lbs). We currently have our son in two FP Safe Embrace car seats - which will be expiring in 2008. Initially, since everyone will fit in everything...we're going to install the FPSE's in our car and the Marathons in our van. Depending on how they grow, we'll likely have to rethink this situation in a few months to keep everyone as safe as possible (i.e. her RF as long as possible and him fitting properly FF).
Here are my questions (I know that it's been discussed before sorry):
1. Do we tether the marathons when RF?
2. Any recommendations on where to tether on a 2005 Honda Odyssey or 2000 Nissan Altima?
3. Has anyone been to a carseat clinic in Ottawa to check an RF Marathon installation with the tether in use?
4. Does the marathon need to be fully reclined when RF?
I think that's it for now!
Thanks,
Leigh
