Hi - I'm hoping for some help deciding on a convertible car seat. My daughter is 9.5 months, 27.5 inches and 15.3 oz. I know we don't need it yet, but I plan on getting it in the next few months.
I am leaning towards the Britax Marathon CT for the easy installation but am concerned it's not the best for air travel. Originally, I wanted the Advocate for the SICT but it just seems too wide and might be difficult in the future with multiple car seats. Right now we only have one daughter and drive an 07 Acura TL BUT will be getting a Toyota 4Runner soon and also a Toyota Camry (work vehicle). We are also planning on having 1 or 2 more kids. The infant seat we have is a Britax B Safe.
My main priority is that the seat is easy to install (with a seatbelt) in multiple cars - which is why I love the new Britax CT. I am also looking for: keeping rear facing as long as I can, SAFE, washable/wipeable fabric, fit next to future car seats, comfortable, cup holder (maybe that's silly. . ), easy to adjust harness. We will be using the car seat in multiple vehicles and for air travel.
I'm overwhelmed because I find pros and cons to every seat!
Do you think the marathon CT is a good seat. . .or should I consider another one? Buy Buy Baby was really pushing the Recaro which I ruled out since it doesn't seem to last RF long. I am going to get one of the wheely things to help carry it through the airport, but the marathon is still pretty heavy. I saw the Diono Radian talked about a lot on this site but they don't have it at my local store to check out in person.
SORRY this is so long!!
Thanks so much!
