3 Marathons in Tahoe

[KristiB]

I have a 2005 Tahoe. I already have 2 ff Marathons. My 6 month old is almost out of his SnugRide. Will another Marathon fit safely (backfacing and frontfacing)? If not, do you have any suggestions.

Also, my husband has a 2008 Mazda Tribute. What will fit in his car (3 across)?

Thanks.

	Forward Facing Car Seats A forward-facing car seat is one in which the child sits facing the front of the car. The seat should be installed in the back seat of your vehicle. Most forward-facing only seats are for children above 20 pounds.

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.

Even with its relatively low price, the Graco SnugRide with EPS receives unmatched praise for its safety by leading consumer magazines and websites.

I am 99.99% sure that the Marathon will fit in the Tahoe. I have a 2003 Tahoe. I can fit 2 Regents and squeeze a RFing Scenera in the middle.

It is okay to have the carseat touching, as long as they are independently installed--meaning, they are not relying on the carseat next to them to be installed tightly.

I'm not sure with the Tribute--I don't get to see many of the newer vehicles that are not Chevy or Ford!

	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.
