Britax marathon or Boulevard??

stacieandclint

I'm looking for a convertible car seat now that my LO is getting too big for his infant car seat. I really like the Britax brand and am impressed with their safety rating and all but I can't decide what model to get. I drive a Jetta so my backseat is not huge. Any thoughts or opinions? Thanks in advance!

We went with the Boulevard because it goes up to 65 lbs, and our guy is already 27lbs. If you can believe it, it fits just fine in H's 2 door car, so you'll be good to go in a jetta.

My mom has the Boulevard in her car (she watches DD M-Th)

I love that seat!

I have both the boulevard and the marathon.  The boulevard is in a Trailblazer and the Marathon is in a buick lacrosse.  I like the size of the Marathon better personally, all the padding on the Boulevard for me makes it more difficult to get him in and out (although the padding is the reason I bought it, for the extra protection in the event of a side-impact).

We have 2 Boulevards that we like.  One is in a 4-Runner and the other is in a BWM with a small backseat.  It fits fine in both cars.  It's a little tricky to get her in and out of the BMW, but not too bad.
