we have a marathon and LOVE it. its easy to get in and out of the car, if you need to transfer to another car. its seems really cozy for DS to relax in and sleep for long trips. We actually just took it with us on a plane to AZ, and was super easy to travel with.
Not to confuse the issue, but have you considered the Sunshine Kids Radian? I was between that and the My Ride and chose the Radian for the following reasons...
My Ride was so wide...took up so much space it would have been hard to fit more than one other person in the back seat. Radian is very narrow.
Radian also RF until 40 lbs. and FF to 80 (!), a tall shell, and the XT has extra side impact protection.
The only downside I found is that it can be hard to fit in some cars rear facing, but it works well in my car. If it fits in your car, I would highly recommend it.
(Sorry if you didn't want an added option...just throwing it out there. )
Re: graco my ride or britax marathon - which do you prefer and why?
The nuiances that you don't know unless you own... Where do you buy the My Ride? I can't seem to find reviews on Amazon.
