This page has lots of kids of older ages in Marathons.... http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/FFalbum.aspx

And here's my dd, because I'm such a showoff! (she actually fit almost another year before her shoulders were truly over the top slots!) http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/FFAlbum/Sarah.aspx (so 6, about 45 inches and 45 pounds before she was truly too tall for it)

5 years, 42", 42 pounds.

I realize that this is not the most popular POV here, but if you are trying to convince people to buy Marathons, an economic argument is not your best bet. There are many seats that last longer and cost less.

Well, if I had been able to purchase a DC (same size as MA) when my son was 1, he would still be using it.

He'll be 7 in three weeks. Here he is in his sister's DC about two months ago.

Wow thanx for responding so well.I am not really trying to convince,my sister and cousin want them,but keep asking what if ,what if,so I am showing them the age comparisons.

He outgrew the MA at 4 years 6 months, 43 inches, 40 lbs. I'm sure I have pics somewhere but don't have time to look right this second.

He still has room in the Decathalon. Just sayin'.

My niece is 5 years 42"/41lbs and I have just moved her out of the marathon into a regent.

MomToEliEm · Mar 27, 2008

When I tried my DD in the marathon when she was 4, she was just about to outgrow the top harness slot. She was around 4.5 years old and weight somewhere between 35-38 pounds. She just turned 6 last week and is very near the top slot on the regent, but I keep hoping to get more time out of the seat. My DD has a long torso though so she tends to outgrow seats more quickly (she outgrew the roundabout at age 2 by height).

thanx for the site jools that really helped.

ginny4 · Mar 27, 2008

my DD is almost outgrown the FPSVD. she became even shortley after the pic but then i recliend the seat mroe & gained about 1/4in again.

in pic she is 3.75yo, just 40lbs & 42-43in

BabyKaykes · Mar 27, 2008

My godson outgrew it late last year at 4yo, 51" (ALL legs) and 38lb. Shoulders at top slots and ears even with seat back. This is the FPSVD, but he fit the same in the MA.

Gypsy · Mar 27, 2008

My dd was a little over 4, 44 inches & 42 pounds.

Defrost · Mar 27, 2008

My petite DD is about to outgrow the MA; she's 7.5 yo.

MyBeachBabies · Mar 27, 2008

I just moved my son from a Marathon to a Regent. He is 5.5, 42 lbs and 45.5 inches.

scatterbunny · Mar 27, 2008

I think it can range from 4-7 for most kids. I think I've heard of a rare 3yo (almost 4) who was too tall, and a rare 8yo who still fits.

My own child was too tall for a MA by 4y9mo, about 46 inches tall and 46 pounds.

supermommyof2 · Mar 27, 2008

Isaac is right at the top slots in our MA, he's 4 yrs 9 months and approx 44lbs.

lauralou · Mar 27, 2008

Ok they have agreed the 4-7 years is worth it.And that they like britax being close to them in greenville,they are not far from charolette.thanks to all of you who posted.

dhardawa · Mar 28, 2008

Emily is 8 1/2, 48 inches, and 48 lbs and still fits in the Marathon.

Please excuse the fact that she looks stoned in the picture.

I saw a 2 1/2 year old who was too tall. I didn't believe it until the mom sent pictures, but sure enough, he was too tall. Funny thing was, he was a twin and his brother was still on the second to the top set of slots. He was just a very tall boy!

My ds outgrew the MA at 4 yrs 3 mo., 42 inches, 40lbs. But he has/had a long torso.
