Roundabout 50 vs. Marathon 70 G3 for flying?

We can take either to use FFing, and had initially planned to take the Roundabout just because it's lighter. It's not a huge weight difference, though--are there other good reasons to take the Marathon instead? I don't have much experience installing the Roundabout FFing and just wondering if there's anything I need to be aware of for either the plane (Airbus 319) or a rental car. Thanks!

In my experience you'll want the lighter seat. We opted for a new SureRide over taking our Boulevard or Marathon 70 and I'm glad we did! I'm thinking you might need a belt extender for the plane but I'm not sure, maybe someone else can chime in. :)

I have flown a bit with our Roundabout 50. Most recently it has been used rear facing. When forward facing, we did need a seat belt extender to be able to buckle/unbuckle not in the belt path. I always mention I will need it as soon as I get on the plane.
