Hi, my almost 2 1/2 year old son is still very comfy in his Britax Marathon so I don't see any need to move him to something else. I also have a 4-month old who is very big for her age and probably won't last more than another month in her Graco Snugride, so I need to get a second seat for her. I would like to keep my son in his Marathon, rather than move him into a Booster or something else to allow the baby to take over his Marathon. At least that's my thinking now, unless someone here talks me out of it!
I have been really happy w/ my Marathon and have no problems with getting a second one for the baby. However, I wonder if maybe I should just get an RA? I realize the Marathon fits on airplanes, but as my husband is in the military, I sometimes have to travel alone (I know, imagine the horror) with both kids and wonder if the smaller RA might be nicer in that regard? Or is the size difference not enough to worry about? Cars are Chevy Tahoe and Volvo Cross Country, so don't need to worry about backseat issues associated with two Marathons... (side note: I wonder, when cars say they can accommodate 3 carseats in the backseat, will 3 Marathons work? Just in case I have a third, you never know!)...
I'm ready to order my Marathon #2, but just wanted to throw this out there in case there's an issue with dealing with 2 of them that I'm not thinking about. Thanks!
