I figured I'd make a new thread for this instead of hijacking Sam's thread... and who doesn't like to see kids in carseats anyway?

I bought this from albeebaby.com. It's the sale Navy Marathon and it has a manufacture date of Dec 20, 2006, so it's still pretty new.

Here's my ds, age 18 months old, 20 pounds, 29 inches long with a long torso in his brand new just-arrived-yesterday Marathon. It was so easy to install... took less than 5 minutes and it's rock solid! It moves the car it's in there so tight.

He loves it, I love it, even dh (who fought tooth and nail against buying a new seat) loves it.

I have him in on the second to bottom slots. He's dead even with them.

It's a little darker than I thought, but still pretty. It's actually a bit brighter than the pics show, but it was raining yesterday, and nowhere near as bright as they show on the website (per usual).

Oh, and just because I can, I took a picture of my 6 year old in it. She's 7 pounds over the rf weight limit, but you can see even she has plenty of room to grow in it. (forgive the goofy face, she was trying to tease her brother)

I know those covers were goofs, but it just looks so ODD not to have the patch in the middle.
I can't believe how teeny your little one is! Oh my, my boy was that size by six months!

What is the fabric like?

The MA looks great, and your son looks great in it! And it goes with big sister's gray/pink turbo booster! (There's just something about coordinated carseats that I like!)

I already replied to your pic post on the other board, but I have to reply again, lol.

Your kiddos are so cute and your son is definitely a peanut...he's about the size of my 11-month old, LOL!

I love the navy...I can't wait to get mine!

Splash, the cover is soft, very plush... it feels almost like velvet only less crunchy... if that makes any sense. It's definately not standard carseat cover fare. I do kind of wish it had the Britax patch on it, but I wasn't going to spend full price for a cover I liked less with the patch. :p

I wanted to get dd a blue booster (my car is blue, dh's car is blue, can we tell I really like the colour blue?), but she was adament on the pink. I hate pink. She loves it, of course.

I know he's tiny. The thing is, his torso height is somewhere around 12-13 inches! So what little bit of height he has is all torso! He was born at only 17 inches long. He's held a nice steady growth curve along about the -3% on the growth charts since he was born. This poor child is just never going to be tall... he was doomed from the start. I'm only 4'10" and he takes after me in just about everything so he just never had a chance.
