Eick, Do I Need To Get Rid Of Her Marathon? (Updated!)
UPDATED: Well I just called today (I have been kinda busy and forgot) and I told the CS Woman that the foot of the Carseat was cracked and I was looking to just get it repaired and see how I get that done. She said oh great and asked for all the seat info and when she got to the date of the seat (2/16/05) she said oh sorry we cannot replace the foot on those (2005) we need to replace the entire seat
I was in shock because I was not expecting a new seat! So they just emailed me the label and I got to even pick out a new cover. Brooke is discontinued (stupid decision I think ) so I got the Cow cover since I have all the girly covers already! It is good to call because she said it isnt safe at least on 2005 models to have a cracked foot.
I just took DDs carseat out of the car to change the cover since her's got all dirty at the beach and I noticed this crack on the bottom I have not seen this before.
The carseat is 3years old so it isnt under warrenty. And it is too late to call Britax and ask.
I am putting her Brand New Marathon in my Jetta (which was in my Fathers truck in case she ever left my side, lol) but should I get a new one and get rid of this or is this carseat okay to use? (I know you shouldnt use cracked carseats, so I think I kinda answered my own question)
(Pls excuse all the dirt in the cracks *blush*)
