Im giving that seat to the nanny though, and getting a Boulevard or Marathon for us. The head constraint on the Advocate is WAY too restrictive, especially for rear facing. She cant see a damn thing and is constantly craning her neck to look out the windows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-187770 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 09:35:51 +0000 regberadaisy 187770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is $229.99 a good price for the Boulevard? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-185712 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:32:50 +0000 banana 185712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the marathon and my LO loves it. He's really comfortable in it. I'm definitely getting another Marathon for baby #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-185309 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 07:59:37 +0000 mrs. wagon 185309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh, and we switched to a convertible when I just couldn't carry Wagon Jr. and the carseat anymore-- I think he was around 15-17 lbs when that happened. My arms couldn't take it anymore. It was sad though.. he practically lived in his carseat before that. Thank god for smartphones... I spent many an hour waiting in the car as he finished his naps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-185308 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 07:58:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 185308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Marathon. Got a past season one on Amazon for right below $200. If you can find a deal jump on it! </p> <p>We have hand-me-down Roundabouts and Boulevards, and the Boulevard is bigger... we're totally satisfied with our Marathon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-185306 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 07:57:22 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 185306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two Marathons. We transitioned him at 6 months because he was quite tall and looking cramped in the infant seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-185244 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 06:36:04 +0000 looch 185244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Boulevard, I chose that because the height and weight ranges for use were all in the same range and I didn't feel the added side protection was necessary.</p> <p>We started using the convertible at 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-184504 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 09:10:11 +0000 chrispygal 184504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe the difference has to do with side protection. We went for the advocate too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-184491 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 08:41:14 +0000 Honeybee 184491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also got the advocate because our carseats are installed on the side seats, not the middle seats. We bought it on sale from Amazon (they have sales on Britax car seats every few months, plus they send out coupons quite often). We transitioned at 1 year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-184435 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 06:53:14 +0000 chopsuey 184435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transitioned at 7 months. LO loved being in her bigger seat. We got the advocate because I really liked one of the prints they offered and I liked the added airbag feature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-184413 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 22:29:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 184413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a nice comparison chart: <a href="http://www.whatshebuys.com/for-child-britax-chart.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.whatshebuys.com/for-child-britax-chart.html</a><br /> We just got a second convertible car seat (another Marathon 70). It was on sale at Amazon, so we went ahead and bought it now for 216.00 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-boulevard-vs-marathon-1#post-184412 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 22:25:12 +0000 regberadaisy 184412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's the difference if any?</p> <p>LO I think will grow out of her infant car seat quite quickly! So I'm starting to look into convertible car seats. Likely will go with a Britax do want to start keeping my eye out for sales.</p> <p>Where did you get your Britax?<br /> Do you have another convertible car seat? If so, which one?</p> <p>LO is 6 weeks and fast approaching 11lbs. When did your LO transition to the convertible car seat? Thanks! </p>
