Hi there!
I have been reading these boards, and would just like a second opinion!
My son is 27 months old, and is 38 inches tall, and weighs 33 lbs. He is about to outgrow his roundabout. :( I love that seat!
I have a few questions:
1. Would my best option be the marathon? I just don't want him to outgrow the marathon before he's ready for the booster seat-- is it possible for him to outgrow the marathon before age 4??!!!
2. Since the Husky is not usable on an airplane... what are you supposed to use on an airplane if you buy this seat? I would like this seat, but I am concerned about that, as we travel occasionally.
3. I like the husky, but I am worried it will not fit into our small car- it is a little 2 door Toyota Tercel- will it fit into small cars? Will the Marathon fit?
4. We have lap belts in both of our cars in the back center seats. Do we have any hope of using a booster seat safely when the time comes? It was my impression that the booster seats require shoulder belts these days. DH does not buy the argument that we need a new car just so we can put in a booster seat, LOL! Would my only option be to get the Husky, then? (But it probably won't fit into the small car. What a dilemma!)
Thanks so much!! Your advice is invaluable, and helps save the lives of little ones. Just wonderful!
