Carseat question...

I need to get another carseat. Currently, ds is in the infant carrier and dd is in a Britax Marathon.

My question...should I upgrade DD to a booster - such as Britax Frontier or should I just get another Marathon for DS since DD will age into a much smaller booster as her next carseat?

How old is your DD?

I had the Britax Marathon for her and was so happy cause it goes up to 65 lbs...I have to be honest and tell you that she HATED it once she got bigger...always said she wasnt a baby anymore, so we got her a booster seat (all she really needs anyway). We just went with the Graco booster and our car rides are much smoother. So when DD#2 is ready, we will just put her in the marathon.

I just wonder if you need to spend all that money on another marathon...just a thought.

i got the frontier for olivia and its much more comfortable for her than the marathon. its also a booster after you decide not to use the 5 pt harnest. olivia likes it much better.

She is 2 1/2. I'm leaning towards the frontier as it's a booster.

Re: Carseat question...

we now have a decathalon for baby michael and the frontier. you cannot put a child in the frontier until they are 2. so molly is fine. plus its got lots of cushions and she sits upright instead of laying down. next time we meet up i can show you or i can shoot you a picture from my iphone.
