Britax Question

You've all been so helpful, so here is another question. I posted the other day about fitting a rear facing seat for my 3 month old in my Freestyle. My 3 year old is (but not for long) in a CarGo.

We went shopping today and I bought another CarGo for my ILs Explorer and I bought the Roundabout for my car. It was a toss up between the RA and the Marathon, but the RA fit better rear facing in my car. I LOVE IT!

So I am giving the ILs my old (3 weeks old) CarGo and taking the new CarGo back tomorrow. My husband was so impressed after installing the RA that he actually insisted the CarGo go back. My 3 year old is only 29 pounds, so I am leaning towards the Marathon for her since I figure she's got another few years with it and I can always pass that down to the baby when she outgrows the RA.

So my question - what height limit does the Marathon have?

Until her shoulders are past the top slot or the top of her ears are level with the top of the shell.

What slot is she on in the cargo and how far from being level with it? The cargos fit about the same as the marathon, so this will give you an idea of how much harness height you will have left.

Yes, the Marathon's top slots are about the same as the CarGo's. :) I'm glad you love the RA for the baby, it is a really great seat. And if you go with a Marathon for the 3yo you can pass the Marathon down to baby later if necessary.
