Marathon and True Fit Comparison (now with pics)
Well, I rode Oregon in my fathers truck with DS in the middle of the front seat and we had no problems. And a big plus, we went to Target and compared DS in the MA and the TF. I did take pictures (crappy ones with my cell phone, but it was all I had), and I will post them when we get home. DH and I also went to BRU but he didn't want me to try out any more seats there because he decided on the TF. DS was right at the second slots of the TF with all the padding, and without he was right at the first slots. I was surprised at how much more height the padding gave him. And, I've always known DS was a leggy boy, but I didn't realize how much so I suppose. Two or three months ago he wouldn't have fit in the MA because he would have been too short. He's almost 11 months old. He did look a little slouchy in the MA, but for the life of me I couldn't get him to sit up in it. DH is adament that we get the TF, and I pretty much agree with him, although I think I'm going to wait until the new ARB one comes out. When is that supposed to happen, anyway? I had a few questions.... Are the top harness slot heights on the two comprable. And, are the bottom harness slot heights comprable? I think tomorrow I'm going to measure his torso height and see if maybe he was just slouching crazy style I didn't catch it. I dunno.
