Hi all,
The expiration date is coming close for my 2 Marathons (nov/dec) and now considering changing DD (2 1/2 years 33lbs 37 inches) seat to the Nautilus for use in our Sienna. See she is in the third row and always complains that the straps are two tight even when they aren't and I figured out it is the angle that the MA is in makes the crotch area buckle part sit very low. Not sure how else to describe it. Anyone have this problem?
We don't have this problem at all in DH's car (Acura) and I finally figured it out the other day when I was driving it with her.
So rather than get her another MA and have the same problem or move her up to a nautilus or something else. We have a Nautilus for DS 6 and I had her pop in there just for fit and it seemed fine but we have been Marathon users especially when she is still young so it's hard to just switch over to something else KWIM?
We also have a radian we used for DS1 before Nautilus but I find it would be harder for her to sleep in it and the way our schedule is unfolding that is something we really need for now, something comfy for sleeping!:> I will still get a new Marathon for DS2 almost 8 months but when the time comes when they go on sale, he's in a Safeseat now being renamed, so he is good in that for a while.
So should I just go ahead get a Nautilus even though she's young (she'll be 3 in Feb) or something else? Or does anyone know if that problem can be corrected with the straps I tend to think now but who knows....maybe this is a familiar problem to someone:>
Also we got a really good deal on our Nautilus way back when, any deals around now that I may have missed....not seeing much....
Thanks so much!
Elizabeth
