Any preferences among these 3 seats for the Outback in particular?

MA
EFTA
TF

With my help a friend has narrowed down her convertible search to these 3. Before she goes and tests them out she's curious if any fit better/fit poorly in an Outback.

I don't own a Subaru so I'm no help! LOL

TIA!

Ive talked to someone on here that installed a marathon no problem, but there are differences between some years I think especially a large gap between model years (for example I wouldnt count on comparing our '99 to an '05). I will soon find out if an EFTA or TF fit but not for a few months lol, sry I couldnt help more.
I found out people who owned them by searching here for the car in general them PMng then to find out which seats theyve installed.

The Marathon (well, Boulevard, but same thing) installs so easily with LATCH in my mom's 2005 Outback. RFing or FFing, it's awesome. The EFTA was much more difficult RFing (I installed with LATCH), and I needed several rolled towels to get the angle acceptable. No experience with the True Fit. :)

I've only installed the MA in my '00 Outback wagon and it installs nicely (I've had it in all 3 seating positions) with no trouble. I've had it installed both RFing and FFing.

Sorry, should have put more info in my previous post. It's a 2001 Subaru Outback and her daughter is 6 mos old.

I was unable to get a good rfing seatbelt install with our 03 Outback. The belt stalk is just sooo long. I'm sure it would have been better with latch, but I just used his alternate seat.

I do love that car, though.
