Well I don't have one, but I did try her in one when she was about to turn 5 and if I did have one I would have taken her out somewhere around the 4-4 1/2 mark, but she would outgrow it in the early 5s.

DD1 is 5 now and has about 3/4" of harness height left - she won't be 6 until June so i am going to vote 5, but I guess it is possible she makes it to 6.

S outgrew it right before he turned 4, so I voted 4. But now at 5 he still has about 1/2" to grow in the Marathon

4. I never actually tried her in one...but she was too tall for a Marathon around 4y9mo, 46 inches and 46 pounds, and the BV offers slightly less height room, so I know she would have outgrown it at 4. She's always been 95th+ percentile for height, though.

I couldn't vote: my DS outgrew the Wizard when he was 3. But he's extremely tall.

I voted 6 but I wasn't aware that the blvd had less height then the marathon, that is when my older two outgrew the marathon. I'm not sure if my third son will make it as long, he just turned 5 and I'll have to see.

In my siggy he looks like he is right at the top slots, he has a little more room.

My dd outgrew the Decathlon at 4, but she might have outgrown the BLVD just before her 4th bday. She's tall of course.

I voted 4. Dd has about 1.5" left in the MA, and the BLVD has 1/2" less height. She just had a b-day so I'm sure she'd outgrew before 5 by height. Shoulder width she's uncomfortable in the MA now so doesn't use it anymore.

Charlie just turned three last week and has pretty much outgrown it. Installed in my car, his shoulders are dead even with the top. I would give him no more than another 3-4 months in it. RF he outgrew by weight just at about 2.5. I love the seat, would probably buy it again even with what I know now (if the options were still the same, maybe not *now* since there are so many choices), but it certainly was not very long lasting. However, what was on the market at the time I bought it, it was the biggest seat I could buy. I've been happy with it, though.

I voted 4.
DS is pretty big, and I put him in our pink BLVD last week for a couple of trips but he barely fit. He will be three in about a month and there is no way he will still fit in it by his fourth birthday.

DD is only 3, turning 4 next month, and does not have much room, assuming normal growth patterns, she would be out of it by no later than this time next year, which would put her just shy/right at 5 yo.

My overall short but relatively long-torsoed daughter outgrew the Marathon at 5 years and 42".
