Footprint of a classic Marathon

My sister needs two seats for two Dodge pickups. The center seat in the back isn't very deep, and almost no seats fit there. She has a Nautilus and a classic Marathon right now, and the MA fits. The problem is, the MA expires soon. So, what seat(s) have a similar small footprint like the MA? She's not 'into' car seats like I am, so something inexpensive would be best, especially since she needs two. The child needing them is 3yo, 36" and 35lbs. Easy installation is a bonus, but not a deal breaker.

If outgrowing the seat isn't an issue then I'd tell her to just get another classic marathon. She knows how to install it already and you know it fits there.

She wasn't wanting to spend that much again. I've never seen a Maestro in person, does it have a similar footprint?

The foot print is different I don't have mine here it's in my brother in laws truck or I would take a picture. I do know it fits in dodge ext with out the little doors that only open when the main door is open. (So I'm guessing the truck was an early 90s if that helps you any).

This is what her back seats look like. The Marathon is fairly reclined, making it sit right at the edge on the front.

The maestro isnt reclined like the MA so thats why it normally works in the seats that are smaller. You said she has a GN in the truck? If thats the case I really think that something like the maestro of sureride would then work on those seats.

She has a Nautilus, but it doesn't fit. The MA fits, but is about to expire. Hence the need for two new seats.

The MyRide has a very similar shape/footprint to the MA, but I don't know how it would work in a back seat like that. Size4Me & clones may actually even be a better "match."
