Since your daughter is so small, I suspect that she may be able to get the full use out of her Marathon. In fact, she could even still be rear facing.

If you move your baby, the Marathon will expire before she's outgrown it...and you'll still need to buy another seat for that child.

You could move your 2.5 yr old into a Nautilus...but it SWALLOWS small children--I've seen pics of a 30 pound 3 yr old---and while she technically fit---she was just so tiny in the seat.

Just some things to consider.

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.

A LATCH Compatible Convertible Child Seat, the Britax Marathon can be used rear facing 5 to 33 pounds and forward facing from 20 to 65 pounds. Compare the numbers and you will see it is hard to find a seat with these weight limits that is safe and functional.
