Hi, Just wondering if anyone can tell me how long an average size girl - both height and weight- will use the Britax Marathon. Thanks.

My DD1 is 50th percentile in height and is just above the third slots in the Marathon. I imagine she would fit for a couple more years - probably age 6.5 to 7. I won't keep her in that seat that long, though as I think other harnessed seats are more comfortable for older children.

My DD outgrew hears at 5 yrs 8 months & 47+ lbs. She is 50% for h&w.

My youngest seems to be growing all in torso lately, and I think she won't last as long in hers as her sister did - she is currently 4.6 months old.
Who knows though, I thought for sure my oldest would have outgrown her MA before she did, because her shoulders hovered around those top slots for a long time.

My DD is tall for her age, she'll be five in October and based on current growth should fit in her MA until December or January.

It seems most kids make it to around 6. Even the tallest/longest torso kids have lasted well into 4 on one extreme, and I think the record for the oldest kid is 8 on the other?
