What would you do with this seat (keep, sell, other?)

Back in January, I moved my little one out of our keyfit30 into a convertible. I purchased a coccoro because our car is awful for 3 across. I was sad to find that on the leather seats, the slightest breeze would cause the seat to flip forward. The seat installed fine in DH's car (cloth seats) so we kept it for that.

On the suggestion of some here, I tried a new gen Britax MA70. It fits fine in my car, although pretty upright RFing and I love the Cowmoo cover. It didn't flip, even w/out the rear facing tether and was rock solid when tethered.

Last week while traveling, DD threw up in her MA70. I was sitting next to her and managed to catch 95% of it in my hands (grooooosssss!!) but one of the strap pads didn't make it. I washed the cover anyway when we returned and installed the CCO in my car. Now that it can be tethered, it keeps from flipping forward. DH likes how it fits (it actually does free up about 2 inches of leg room, contrary to what I thought). She's very comfy in the CCO, with about 5 inches above her head, she has plenty of room for now (she's 15 months and TINY). DH likes how it fits, and once he found out it comes in lime green he was SOLD, especially since he can scoot himself back a bit while she's in it.

So for now, she is going to stay in the CCO. It frees up a little bit of room for the other 2 kids too (DD in a RN center and DS is in a PWSG outboad pass). So what do I do with the Marathon? DH said I should try to sell it. I got a good deal on it with some amazon gift cards. I think the CCO would get her to 3 RFing, and by then, DD1 will be old enough to move out of the RN and into a booster and I could put DD2 in the RN.

But I really like the marathon. I LOVE the no-thread harness. I love the cow seat. I LOVE how easy it is to install...it's just a monsterous seat next to the CCO and DH is funny about storing things in the garage.

Any advice?
