Well, I think he's about 40 pounds, and maybe 37"? Maybe more. At his 18-month appt. he was thirty pounds and 35". I haven't really done any booster research, and thought I'd start by asking you all! He's is a Marathon now and likes it. He's great in the car, almost never figity. But he's just so young! Any advice would be appreciated.

TIA!

The Marathon goes to 65 pounds or 49 inches, there's NO need to think about a booster for a couple more years!
If you happen to have another seat in a second car that only goes to 40 pounds, then you need to replace it with a Marathon or Husky, or just move your Marathon back and forth from car to car.

So, long story short, you have nothing to worry about for a loooong time, unless you really WANT another Marathon or a Husky, in which case I won't discourage you, because I'm a seat collector, myself, lol.

OK, Julie. I'm an imbicle. He's currently in a RA. Could he move up to a booster at this point, or might it be worth investing a Marathon or Husky?

Aw shucks, I thought you were set for good. No wonder you're in a bind!
Yup, there is no way in Hades he can be safe in a booster, track down a good deal on an MA or Husky, definitely.

Fingers crossed you find a bargain!
