Need advice on new seat for 37lb 4yo...

[twofallbabies]

Hi ladies,
My son Lucas just turned 4 a couple of weeks ago, and seems to be outgrowing his Marathon in the shoulders. He's pretty much on the lower end of height and weight charts for his age (he's 37lbs, and abour 38"), but seems a bit uncomfortable in the width of the shoulders in his seat. I've been looking at the Regent, Decathlon and Boulevard, but am stumped when it comes to differences between the last two I've listed. I don't seem to have any local stores that I can go see and try them out at, so when I'm ready to buy, it will have to be online, which is annoying. Any advice would be much appreciated! TIA!

The Decathlon and Boulevard are the same as the Marathon, basically. Britax *used to* sell a modified shoulder foam..I'd call and pester them ...ask them for it, or ask for directions how to cut your own foam to get the same effect (widens at the shoulders, you cut it out from the sides, but still protects the head and spine all the way down).
The Regent, Radian, and Apex (might be called Alpha Elite) are all wider in the shoulders and have tall top slots and 65-80 pound weight limits.
