Question Question about weight, a totally stupid one.

Ok so I have a really stupid question so please forgive me if I sound like a moron :whistle:
So I´m pretty sure that the when talking about weight limits in car seats you are talking about the child´s weight without clothes...right?
The thing is that my almost 3 yo son weighs more than 35 pound when fully clothed so I´m wondering if it´s OK to still rear-face him in his Marathon?

I´m just totally confused right now, maybe I should turn him and let him FF from now on since he´s gotten this heavy:confused:

We are referring to the child's weight when they are clothed & wearing exactly what they would wear when in the car seat (shoes, winter boots, etc.). If he's over 35lbs fully clothed & wearing shoes, he can no longer RF in the Marathon.

Remember to move the straps so they are above the shoulders. Also, if you use latch, switch it as well.
