Would someone mind helping me out here, we are in Canada. I have a three and half year old son who started in a Marathon RF but we bought him a Radian XT last spring so he could stay RF longer. Now I am expecting twins in June. I'm trying to figure out what carseats to buy them. I know it's early but the Marathons are on sale and I would save $180 for two. I'm just not sure it's worth it? Because I'd lose a year of use for them. Plus I would potentially be faced with the same issue of extended RF, and I'm not about to buy two other carseats! It's just that the Marathon seems to be so much more "carseat" if that makes sense. I know they all have to pass safety ratings but it still feels safer to me and was recommended by a carseat tech here in Calgary.
How long do average size/weight children last in these carseats? I'm not concerned weight-wise, but rather height-wise. If they will grow out of their carseats heightwise anyways before the six years is up, then would it be recommended to go ahead and buy these two marathons now? It would mean they would be 5 when they expired I think (or maybe 4 1/2 still haven't figured that out, they were manufactured late 2010). Or should I forget the marathons all together and just get two more Radian XTs next winter when they grow out of their baby seats?
Or if someone has a better suggestion I'd love to hear it. Thanks so much!
