Dumb question, Marathon Classic vs Frontier

A friend of mine has a crazy tall 2.5 year old, she's FF in a Marathon Classic, but it won't be long before her ears are even with the top of the shell. I advised her to start looking for a deal on a Frontier, but I was just looking in the measurements, and the internal seating height on the MA is listed at 24.5" and the Frontier 85 is listed at 24". Is that really correct?

Is she going to make it another few years if she moves to a Frontier?

Anybody have both seats and a model-willing kiddo for pics? :)

That's not accurate. The top slots on the Marathon are 16.5" and the Frontier 85's top slots are 19.5". The headrest also adjusts up very high as it converts to a booster, so the shell is very high. She will have several years in the Frontier after the Marathon is outgrown.

Thanks! That's what I thought, but it had me worried for a second!
