Question Need help choosing a convertible car seat

My daughter will be 13 months tomorrow, and is in about the 50th percentile for weight, and the 99th percentile for height. The nurse measured her at 31.5 inches at her 12 month check up.

We have a 2007 VW Jetta. I want to be able to rear face her as long as possible. What convertible seat would you recommend for her stature and our vehicle? I'm more concerned with her height than her weight as she has always been average to low weight, but tall.

I have my eye on the Britax Marathon, but would like some input from others as this is my first child and I have no experience with convertible car seats. For example, is the Clicktight version of the Marathon better, or does that technology still have issues (I know there was a recall).

My main priorities are a safe seat for a taller baby, that allows for extended rear facing in a smaller car. I would appreciate any help you can provide, thank you.
