Hi everyone -
After reading many posts on this board, I think I've decided on purchasing the Marathon, but thought I would ask advice based on my kids ages & sizes.
I have a 3 1/2 yr old dd, (28 lbs, 36"). She's in a Britax RA and loves it. However, I have an almost 1yr old dd (15 lbs, 27") which I just realized is over the height limit in her Graco Snugride carseat.
I'd like to move the 1yr old to the RA, and purchase another seat for the 3 1/2 yr old.
Given that both girls are on the petite size - does anyone have any recommendations? Would the Marathon be the best choice, or are there others that might be better? Especially since they are small, I'm more comfortable with having them harnessed as long as possible. I'd also consider getting the Marathon for the primary car (2001 Acura MDX SUV - no latch), and another less costly option for a secondary car (We need to purchase a 2nd car soon if I return to work - not sure what yet - possibly a Minivan of some sort).
Any advice is appreciated - thank you.
