My second MA is on loan to someone and she wanted to know if I was interested in selling it. I'm tempted to sell it and get a true fit for Elizabeth so she can have more leg room rear-facing. She still fits in the MA but it is getting harder and harder to buckle her with her long legs. She will be three in AUG and I just weighted her and she is 31 lbs.

How is the true fit for installing forward facing? The MA is my spare seat so I use it when I need to put a seat in Brian's car or if I need to take extra kids. The MA is SOOOOOOO easy to install forward facing. I can seriously get it in in about 30 seconds. Is the true fit that much harder?

My other concern is that britax will come out with a seat with more leg room that I can tether and maybe goes to a higher weight rear-facing. I would have a better chance of my husband not freaking out when I buy it if I hadn't just bought a true fit.

Thanks for helping me decide!

never mind, I'm keeping the marathon. I asked the women if she still wanted it. I calculated how much it would be worth based on how much life it had left (4 1/3 years) at $140 and she offered me $75! I don't think so.

I know this is a dumb reason to keep it but I have tons of covers and like to switch them around. I would feel really weird if I had one marathon with 5 covers, having 2 and 5 covers is pushing it! ;)
