Which Britax?

I have the Boulevard in my car but we need a second one for DH's car. I am looking at Albee baby and these are the ones on sale. DH has a jeep right now but I want one that will fit in a Honda Accord or similar since we will be buying one sometime in the near future.

Which is the best bargain? best car seat?

2006 Decathalon $219.99
2006 Marathon $239.99, $229.99 *light green fabric** or $218.99 *if i want zebra print*
2006 Roundabout $184.95

I have 2 roundabouts. We have an Accord and a Sentra and it fits perfectly in both. We keep it in the middle and two adults can sit comfortably on both sides. I love them! I have a black one and a gray one.

I have the Decathalon which I found out is the same as the Marathon but an extra piece of removeable cushion(which you wont use baby too old now) so go for either one of those but it is bigger than the roundabout so in the accord I dont know how it would fit! I have a Trailblazer EXTChat Icon Try Bestbuybaby.com too

I just ordered my second Marathon from Traveling Tikes . I thought they had some pretty good prices on the Marathon.

Re: Which Britax?

I think that any of the seats would fit fine in an Accord. We have the marathon and I was nervous that it would take up too much room but it really didn't, and when it comes down to it there is only a slight difference in size between the seats.

I'd say go for another marathon because for 218 you can't beat it and it goes up to 65 lbs -- who knows if she'll ever be 65 lbs and still in a regular car seat, but it can't hurt to have that extra capacity there IMO.
