I think they so much easier to install both rfing and ffing with the seat belt than the new line is lighter too. Now that we only have the one car those 2 things are priceless to me.

Me! I definitely like the classic better. It is nearly impossible to get my kiddo in the new gen RF in my dh's truck and then he's also eating his knees. No problems with the classic though and he's got quite a bit more leg room then in the new gen.

Yeah, totally. There is ZERO leg room in the MA70 I have, and a ton in the classic MA I have. DD has my short legs, and she's totally eating her knees

With out a doubt!

My 2YO is short but has a long torso (18mth pants and 2T shirts). He's pushing the 30# our Canadian MA has for a RF limit. He has a couple inches left in height. He is too tall for the new MA and has been for while. His head is at the top of the shell. Not *sure* when that would have happened for him, I tried him a few months ago for fun and was rather surprised (and disappointed) that he was already too tall for it!

He'll be displacing my 5 3/4yo @ almost 40# in his RF RN soon...

This is not what I want to hear. My Boulevard expires next year and I don't want to have to give it up (even if I hate trying to tighten the harness).

ME!!!! I love my classic Marathons, and don't really care for the newer Marathons. They seem cheaply made, less legroom and even tho I've played with them in the store I'm not needing one. I'm going to miss my classics when they expire... One does Aug 12' and the other two April 14'

Me. I got rid of my ra 55 and my son rides in original marathons or ra50s. The ma and its clones are still the moat user friendly seat to me

I definitely prefer the RA50 over the RA55. I ended up putting the RA55 in my husband's car because every time I put my son in the RA55 in my car I nearly bumped his head on the door frame since the seat has such high sides. My son's tiny, but he looks cramped in the RA55 too. I like the RA50 so much more, I just wish it had the same safecell and steel bar technology as the RA55.

I like the classic because it's easier to get my kids in and out of. But the install is just as easy to me with either seat.
