Myride vs marathon for older kids

I tried to search this and read the other threads, but couldn't seem to find what I needed.

How tall are the top slots of the myride compared to the marathon? I know they both measure about 17" each, but how does it actually fit in the car?

Bean the First is dead even with the top slots in the MA, and has maybe 1/2" of growth in the MR.

However, the MR is a very SNUG seat...it has a bucket feel going on, actually. So that will limit how long kids can fit in it, too.

I got a quick measurement of 16 for the MR and 17 for the MA and Leah clearly had a lot more growing room in the MA (like, barely at the second to top slots, versus almost to the top slots of the MR). Fyrfightermama's pictures show how very snug it is for a larger FF kid, I just never know how to find anything in the search bar, lol.

J was just a hair over the top slots in the MA, and 1/2 inch above in the MR. But it can also depend on how upright you do/can install the MR. The MR would love to be installed very reclined, lol.

yes, problem is that DNi will need a new seat soon as well. They have 2 marathons and a regent and 2 cars... DNe will be fine in the MAs once he grows into himself, but DNi will outgrow them soon and we are trying to minimalize seat purchases.
