Legroom -- Recaro vs Britax (old style)

I love our ProRide....love it. We have owned 2 Signo's and now a ProRide, so my love runs deep. LOL

Anyways, I see people turn people away from Recaro convertibles because of their "lack of legroom." While legroom is a definite downside, it is no worse than the previous Britax models.

I realize that Recaro convertibles have other downsides (high base, 35lb RF limit), but they are still good seats.

Anyways, Arly was nice enough to give me her close-to-expiring marathon for DD since it has a lovely cotton cover and shallow sides which will hopefully help with DD's skin issues and overheating. So I thought I would give some comparison pics.

By my pictures, it does appear that the Marathon is allowing slightly more legroom, but that is because it is not as upright as my proride.

**ETA I have re-sized these pics and don't know why they are still showing up so large. Sorry**

And because it's funny to me after having 2 average or above averaged size boys....DD is 3 years old, 34" and 25lbs and *even* with the second slot. LOL

Your DD looks like she has longer legs, but here is my 33" 24lb 2 year old in a TFP. I love her new gen Britax seats, but love the legroom in the TF.

Oh she would definitely have more room in a TF, but my car doesn't have room for a TF. LOL It took up way to much space front to back.
