I just had a *DUH* moment and realized that Anna's nautilus overhangs the backseat of DH's 2008 GMC Sierra...so it can NOT be used in that truck. We have been using it this way for over a year :eek:, thank goodness no wrecks or anything!

So, tonight I will try my Marathon in there, but do Marathons allow overhang? I could not find it in the user manual either way...

Also, if my MA does not work, what seat can I buy for DH's truck? Anna will be our only child, so we have no need for another convertible seat, and would like to have a seat that converts to a booster if at all possible...if not, her safety definitely comes first.

Anna is 36" tall, 34 pounds, and will be 3 in September...we have made the decision as a family to keep her forward facing.

Thanks!

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I *think* Britax allows overhang as long as 80% or more is on the seat.

Great, thanks! I was not sure, and I will keep watching this for more suggestions as we are not 100% thrilled with how high the marathon sits in his truck, but it's good to know!

Anyone have any suggestions of a new car seat for DH's truck? The Marathon sits up pretty high in the truck, and DD has little legroom. Thanks!
