It helps a great deal to know your child's age/weight/height + vehicle year/make/model

Generally, unless you have an extremely small backseat then it's a better buy to choose the Marathon over the Roundabout as the Marathon offers higher weight & height limit in the harness so you can be sure kiddo will really be mature enough for a booster when the harness is outgrown....

Evenflo Triumph: this seat has nice low harness slots for newborns, but also an extremely short shell (frame) so most kids outgrow this seat long before they're truly ready for a booster. Evenflo is upgrading this to add another top harness slot + more height to the shell! I think I remember this would be available in the summer?

	Booster Seat A booster seat raises your child up so that the car's lap and shoulder belts fit correctly. The lap belt should fall across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt should go across the middle of the shoulder and chest. A booster seat is used for older children up to about 80 pounds. Some states have passed laws requiring booster seats for children up to age 8 or 80 pounds. Check your state's law.
