I have identical twin boys who are both 42 inches tall and 42 pounds. I had intended to keep them in their Britax Marathons for at least another year minimum... But my husband and I noticed last week that the shoulder straps were coming from below their shoulders and we tried to adjust the strap height to discover that they already were at the highest setting.
I don't know what to buy now! I think they might actually sit properly in booster seats BUT they fall asleep in the car all the time, so I'm not sure if a non-harnessed booster is a good idea.
We tested out a Graco Tranzitions, which has a harness, but they were too big for our car- it's a Maxda3 and I need to be able to fit myself in the back between their seats occasionally because we have to transport my mom with us sometimes. With the Tranzition it didn't seem like I was going to be able to fit. We tried a Clek Oobr this weekend, and it looked like I would just be able to squeeze back there. My sons looked like they fit in the seat well, the belts were in the right place on them, and I thought maybe the recline function would help with the sleeping in the car thing... But they are expensive seats and the boys are young for boosters... so I'm not sure!
I feel like my choices are shopping for a new car or moving them to the Oobr, neither which I'm not too sure about!
Anyone have any other suggestions for me?! Thank you so much!

TLDR: 4 year old twins, 42 pounds and 42 inches, shoulders over top height of Britax marathon, need to fit 2 seats and a average size woman in the back of a Mazda3.... help! Thanks!
