Anyone use a Britax Marathon in their gen2 volt?
Are discontinued car seats safe? / Anyone know why the Britax Boulevard was discontinued?
Has anyone purchased Britax Poplar from Amazon? [ON]
It was on sale for Black Friday on Amazon for 30% off in the stone onyx colour. I saw it Friday morning and it sold out after an hour or so. I got it but haven’t installed it yet! I test fitted it in my vehicle at Snuggle Bugz before purchasing and it fit nicely as we have a small car. My first choice was Clek Foonf but it was way too big in our car.
More on reddit.comThe Britax Marathon is the top rated car seat from The Wirecutter. I've found that site to be a bit spotty for consumer electronics but their test methodology seems OK for the child seats.
It's hard to see exactly how bulky the seat is, but this picture from The Wirecutter makes it seem pretty reasonable.
Adding to that is this cars.com car seat check. They claim to use the Britax Marathon in their testing. But the picture of their rear facing child seat doesn't match the info I see on other sites.
Sort of related is this old post from gm-volt.com. Post #12 seems to be positive. Also intriguing is post #3 though my first reaction is that the idea of removing the seat cushion is a bit crazy.
Does anyone here have a gen2 volt and the Britax Marathon they can confirm has enough space when rear facing to get a child (under the rear facing weight limit) in and out? Does anyone have pictures of one of these in a gen2 volt?
