I'll probably get the same for baby #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon#post-92646 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:27:29 +0000 chopsuey 92646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: My LO is so spoiled and used to the extra padding. While we were traveling we put her in a less comfy seat. Yikes. She totally made our car rides misery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon#post-92641 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:26:14 +0000 chopsuey 92641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: Hurmm.. I personally would go for the Boulevard.. (Does the marathon you bought have the head support?). I'm a little psycho and got the advocate because it has the extra air bags on the side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon#post-92640 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:24:55 +0000 mrs. wagon 92640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one of each (got a hand-me-down boulevard) and we're totally satisfied with the marathon. The boulevard is HUGE and VERY padded in comparison. Since we don't have the biggest car (we have a CR-V) we stuck with the marathon. Plus RJ is a very sweaty kid so he doesn't need the extra padding. I feel the marathon has plenty of protection. We actually got a hand-me-down roundabout as well (one model below marathon) and that looks fine to me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon#post-92636 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:22:36 +0000 tequiero21 92636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so i was planning to get the boulevard. but because of my pregnancy brain, i saw that another site was $20 cheaper so i bought it from there. turns out, it was the MARATHON! ddoh! i read that the main difference is the head piece - i think boulevard is a little thicker for impact. </p> <p>would you go through the trouble of returning the carseats for the boulevard? plus, i got the 10% completion discount on the marathon, which i'll be losing so it's more than $40 (had to buy 2)..... or would you just keep the marathon? </p>
