A Marathon will likely fit better than the infant seat. You won't need to allow room for your hands to get in there to undo the release and britax allows their seats to touch/be braced up against the front seat.

Also your older baby won't need a newborn recline of 45*, she can be more upright now.

My husband has a sentra and my best friend a Marathon, but I haven't tried her seat in his car.

You CAN go to Babies R Us and try the seat in your car to see how it fits before you buy.

And for what it's worth--I have a 2005 Malibu Maxx that I LOVE...it's great for carseats, for the most part. I know a marathon fits RF with no problems. The 2008 Malibu is getting great reviews, but I don't know if they've put out a Maxx version.

	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.

	Infant Car Seats Infant-only rear-facing seats are for babies up to about 22 to 30 pounds, depending on the specific car seat. You will need a new seat when your child gets bigger. Infant-only seats have handles that allow you to move the seat from the car to the house or other locations. Some have a base that you can leave installed in the car, so you can just click the car seat into place each time you use it.

	Britax Marathon - Click for more info Increasing the time a child can safely stay in their convertible car seat is a big issue and Britax engineers have come through in a big way with the introduction of the Britax Marathon with LATCH. 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.
