Ok...I'm torn here. I have a 2.5 year old boy who is in his forward facing britax marathon and we are all pleased with it. I have a 6 month old baby girl who HATES her baby car seat. (graco metrolite travel system) I've decided to go ahead and purchase a convertable car seat BUT which do I get?? I realize the difference in size, price and weight/height limitations. My dilema lies with the vehicle I own. I have a bmw x5 and I remember putting my marathon in the center of our back seat when rear facing because if behind either bucket seats it limits our leg room for me to drive and for my husband or any other for that matter who sits in the passenger seat....and we are pretty tall! The marathon isn't much of an issue when forward facing...just when he wants to kick the back of my seat! lol!! Sooooo, with that being said do I dare take a gamble of purchasing the roundabout in hopes she doesn't outgrow too soon?? It really is a tight fit when that marathon car seat is rear facing. Is there really much of a difference in size?? (i am notorious for purchasing items thinking its a good buy then wind up having to "eat it" or return for something else...I don't want to make the same mistake here!) Please...any input would be greatly appreciated!!
