So I have my 8 month old, 22ish pound daughter rf in a BV. I just got a brand new cover for it which I but (and here comes the crappy part) I forgot how much I HATE the BV harness when rearfacing. Its so tough, and there is so much yanking, tugging and a tiny bit of swearing now and again. Yesterday DH asked me 'how much longer do we have to rf her for??' and this is when I decided I needed a better seat for rf, cuz I'm obviously not stopping any time soon! I can use the BV as our spare seat in DH car, which will actually come in very very handy. So all is not lost!!!! I am deciding between getting a Marathon65 (I'm in Canada...so that's the same as your MA70) or a MyRide. Opinions? I've tried DD in the MA and like it....but didn't feel overwhelming love. I think its the $. It's $299 and I can get a MR for $150 on sale right now. But, I know I like the quality of Britax seats, as well as how easily I can pop them in and out of my van. So I'm torn! Can you guys answer a few questions about the MR for me? And if you have any pics of your kids in one, that would be fantastic too!
1. The top slots are the same on both the MR and the MA right? Does the MR require rethreading?
2. The MR cover feels a lot thinner and less durable....will it hold up?
3. The latch clips look kind of cheap and flimsy, (I'm used to the alligator style)....do these work as well? Are they as easy to use?
4. Since I'm used to head wings....what do young kids heads do while sleeping? Are the edges close enough that their heads can rest on them, or do they tend to slump to the side?
5. I drive an 04 Sienna, can anyone comment on a MR install in there?
6. The straps seem pretty flimsy in comparison to Britax straps. Are they known for being fairly twisty?
I think that's it.....thanks in advance for your help!
