So I just KNOW this must be asked a thousand times, so bear with me but I've searched and only found really old posts.
I have a Britax Marathon which I like for our SUV but now that LO has officially outgrown his infant seat, I need another convertible seat for our Honda Civic. Yes, the dreaded compact car but want to rear-face a long time question.
My little boy is a tall 9 month old, so I like the tall shell of the Britax and first tried to install my Marathon RF in my civic on the passenger side. I can either go to the minimum recline (making it nearly impossible to get LO in there) or give up ever having ANYONE (even a midgit) ride in my passenger seat until we turn FF. We had this same problem with the infant seat, but at least then when I didn't have the car seat in there (just the base) I could put the seat back, not so with this next car seat since it'll obviously stay there.
I'm fortunate in that I'm less concerned with the price, I'm not trying to imply it's not important, but given that this will involve safety and years of convenience (planning to have one more child after this but not for a few years) I'm willing to spend more if it's going to work well for us.
Thanks in advance for your help!
