Hi all, new to this site but I'm a member at Thebabywearer and Diaperswappers . I have made my mind up I want a Britax now I have to figure out between my final two choices.

I have it narrowed down to these two..

http://www.specialtybaby.com/br20bococars2.html Boulevard

http://www.specialtybaby.com/br20macocars.html Marathon

Any last words before I order. I'm hoping to order tomorrow. I have been reading the forums here and still not sure which is best for us.

I have a 13 month old 22lber with a long torso. He will be in our Ford F-350 on the outboard. No side air bags in the truck. Hubby and I are leaning towards the Boulevard but was hoping for some last minutes thoughts from the experts.:)

Also, does anyone know if they will be coming out with more covers for the Boulevard in the future?

I would go with the boulevard. The extra safety of the TSIP wings, and the extra convienence of the harness adjuster knobs are both totaly worth the extra cost IMO. Still, I know some people prefer the marathon for one reason or another. I don't know about any future covers for the boulevard though... sorry! Good luck with the decision!

Yeah I'd say the overwhelming majority here would be the BLVD for that true side impact protection. And that infinite adjustment deal is pretty snazzy too ;)
I absolutely LOVE my Marathon, but, heck, if I could afford that wee bit more for a BLVD, I'd go for it. Though, I don't think BLVD has quite the selection of snazzy covers, but, well, ya know ;) teehee
Yeah, I suggest going ahead with the BLVD, especially given your situation..outboard, truck, no air bags, yup, that's what I'd do.

Yeah, I'd go with the BLVD too. :) A Marathon would be fine too, but the harness adjustment and side impact protection make it worth the extra cash if you can budget for that--not that much more $$, for the length of time it will be used.
