DD has made it abundantly clear that a BV will not work for her. So we tried out a Marathon at BRU and while I liked it overall, I was disappointed in the shoulder room. We ordered a Marathon from BabyUniverse and it seems wider than the one we tried at BRU. At the bottom slots I measure 11 inches across, and at the top slots I get about 10.5 inches. Then I looked at the BabyUniverse site and I saw this
Modified EPS foam insert increases shoulder width

Think they finally changed it?

:confused: :confused: They had the modified shoulder foam insert a few years ago. Maybe they have gone back to that? :confused: :confused:

I should be able to late tonight. This is the first Marathon shell I've seen without a cover on so I can't compare it to anything.

:) That's okay. If you can post a picture, we can all compare to the Marathon we all know and most of us love. :)

Thanks!

That is alright as I can post picture of my MA's to compare too. I have an '03 & '05 MA so we can compare too.
