Carseats

Oh hey!!!!  I've been MIA for ages, but thought I'd pop in to ask a question that I'm sure has been discussed already, sorry!

I'm late to the party and probably one of the last people looking into moving DS out of his bucket seat (or am I?), he's 22 lbs, and luckily still kind of fits in his Chicco key fit 30, though I think he'd definitely be more comfortable moving up.  

Anyways, after asking some friends and looking through CR, I'm leaning towards the Britax Marathon 70, does anyone know how the new model compares with last years model?  Does anyone have a smaller sedan that it fits in rear facing?  I drive a jetta, and there is no BRU near me to test it out.  Thanks ladies!

  • We have this years model of the Britax Marathon 70 & we love it.  I don't have a car; I have a Chevy Equinox and there is tons of extra room.  (IDK if that's helpful)  The seat seems super comfy for DS, he falls asleep much faster and generally just seems much happier in the car in this seat compared to his carrier seat.   HTH!

  • I really need to look into getting Rocco a new car seat. He's still in his Chicco Keyfit too. He still meets the requirements, but he's getting very close to growing out of it.

    This. I have a Jetta so I'm looking for something small and safe that DD can use rear facing until she's two. Ugh. I keep putting off the research.

    I have the britax boulevard 70CS and it fits in my compact Mazda 3

    ETA it actually fits better than my Graco Snugride 22 did.  I can put my seat all the way back with the Britax
