If you go to the Car seat Quick information guide they are all there in the convertible category with measurements and features.. It makes it really easy to pick what will work for you.

Re: Britax convertables which is best?

should have an H in which lol...

Anyways my main concern is should I do these instead of a bucket seat and then look into car seats later on? or should I stick to the bucket seat until they outgrow it and figure out a better scenario then?

They're shorter than most other seats, so not as long rear facing. They have higher top slots than the old Britax line (16.75"), but lower than other seats available. The leg room is better than the old, but still less than most. They have a seven year lifespan. They're easy to install and adjust. The Boulevard has headwings, the Marathon doesn't. That's the only difference between the two. The Advocate, of course, as the side airbags. Just know that there are no standards for side impact protection, and anything Britax has said (and any other company when it comes to SIP) may be true, but may just be marketing.

Is your heart set on a Britax? If so, I'd probably go for the Marathon now, or the Boulevard. The Advocate is so wide and so expensive, I can't see paying that money. I'd also prefer something that would rear face longer, and forward face longer.
