DEC

2007

I decided to splurge and get the Britax Marathon when it was time to move my baby up from the infant carrier. Well, actually my mother in law went in half with me. It was well worth the money! I love being able to adjust the straps in the front. The cover is so plush and soft. The seat seems cushy and comfy for my baby. We have it rear facing right now. In my Nissan Sentra it was a tight fit and didn't leave much room in the front, but in my 4-Runner it fits just fine. I'm happy that I can use this seat up to 65lbs. It will remain rear facing as long as it is able to (I believe 30 lbs or maybe 35 lbs and as long as the child's head is at least an inch below the top). Then we will turn it around. For now, as a rear facing carseat, it's awesome. I have no doubt it'll be even better forward-facing! I love all the cover choices. We picked a UGA cover, but if we ever wanted to change, as long as we're willing to pay $50-$80, you can change it.
