Should I get her a Flora XTSL?

I'm wavering. I've always loved my marathons - especially rear facing. My dd is 3 yrs (1/16), 28#s, 36", as of yesterday. She has room in the marathon. Her head is around the Britax label.

But I love the Flora XTSL and am thinking of selling one of my marathons to get her one. I'm worried that I won't like it.:eek: WWYD? I know I will like her having more legroom. The white in the cover worries me. Does it wash up like the Britax covers?

I drive an 02 Chevy Venture that now has 8 passenger seating. She will be passenger outboard. I found a successful install with the radian in that seating position, both rfing and ffing.

So would you get her one?

Thanks:p

Yes! But that is mostly because I am coveting this cover and wish I could justify buying for myself!

or you could wait till she outgrows the MA then get her one...

What color did you get for your second xt? We're got Malibu and I bought a Nassau cover from another mom here so we'll have a spare.

I would definitely get it. I love my xtsl and I drool over the flora cover. I have the Ventura cover and I'm not thrilled about it. I think I should have gone with the bentley cover instead.

I would get it. DS was in a cowmoo Marathon that I LOVED but was getting to heavy so I bought the Raidian XTSL and have been just as happy with it although I do still miss the Marathon sometimes.

If you are a new diapers.com customer and order from there I can pm you a $10 off code. I forgot to use it on my XT purchase a few weeks ago :mad: so hopefully someone else can!

We love our XT so I'd say yes. Mine is stuck in my neighbor's car so my son can ride in her car once a week and I miss it. I'm going to have to get another one for DH's car and I'm secretly happy even though I don't want to spend the $$.

YES... I've not had a problem with Radian covers (and I had the champagne one) at all.

they're not as easy to remove and wash, but for the extra rearfacing capacity and the fact it also goes longer ff, it's TOTALLY worth it.

I was torn between the Flora and the Petal. I have a budding "girly girl" and decided on the petal (it's BEAUTIFUL), but am thinking about acquiring a Flora cover as a spare!!! What a tough decision :)
