We've been saving our spare change and recently decided to see if we had enough for a new carseat for our DD. She is 15 months old and 20 lbs, 29 inches. We cashed it in and had $140 (since October!!)
I posted earlier this week about my great deal on a EFTA Premium and even though it was a nice seat, I wasn't in love with it and not happy with how it installed.
Last night, I got an opportunity to got to Buy, Buy, Baby (love that store!!) and tried out some seats in my '05 Town and Country. I liked the True Fit and the Marathon install, but was pleasantly surprised at how easy the Radian installed with the seat belt!! It was great.
Well, on my way home, I went to a Target that I don't usually go to and they had the Marathon (Hannah print) on clearance for 50% off!!! $140 plus tax!!
I bought one thinking I could return it if necessary, but I love it!! It installed great with the seat belt in the van and even better, it installed really nicely in my husband's '99 Malibu!! I struggled getting the EFTA in there. The Marathon was rock solid in the middle and outboard and with the seatbelt in the captains chair in the van. I might be posting with pics to check my install soon and to figure out the RF tether, but I love our new seat!!
It does have a DOM of Nov/08, so it's lost several months, but it will still last my DD a long time - for that price it's worth it!!
Now - back to saving our change again for the next seat we need to buy!!
