New Marathons

Hi,

When did they start manufacturing the new Marathons? I am selling my cover, and I want to make sure that the buyer knows if it fits their seat or not. This way, I can say that it doesn't fit MAs with DOMs of **** or later.

Thanks!

It was last summer. June/July I think. I got my RA55 in August, and Amazon was shipping weeks before diapers.com (where I got mine).

Would it be easier to say it doesn't fit the MA's made out of black plastic? Target is still selling the original MA's and I can't imagine they'd all have DOM's from a year ago.

So, all the new models are made of black plastic? Good to know!

the lady who was interested had a MA DOM Jan 2011. I assume that my Denim cover would not fit

If she has a MA classic or MA 65 then yes it'll fit, if she has a MA70 then no it won't. There are MA classics that have a newer DOM so it's possible that she could have one.

I am in Canada, so it looks like we only have the MA 65, though looking at the picture, it doesn't look the same as my older Marathon, though that could just be the angle of the shot??

Also in Canada - as mentioned above the old Marathon has white plastic, new ones have black so that's the easiest way to tell.

Old (Marathon in Canada, MA Classic in the U.S.)

New (Marathon 65 in Canada, Marathon 70 in the U.S.)

It's a bit hard to see in the first picture but look at the very bottom and you can see the black. In real life it's more obvious because you can see the side (the second picture is a bit better).
