Car Seat Saftey Mamas, WWYD?

[freestylemama]

Hi,

My kiddo is three and weighs 36lbs.  We have a Britax Marathon that we've used since she was about 4 months.  We were in a situation where we were carpooling often with other children so after doing a bit of research, we bought a Graco Nautilus.  We've since ended the carpools and have an extra seat in our car.  DD loves switching seats, but we really want to take one out.  I know this is a totally minor issue, but if you were in our position, which seat would you keep in the car?  She forward faces in both.  We're planning on having another baby soon, so both will be used again.

Thanks!

I would put her in the seat she is going to stay in the longest...which would be the Nautilus, right?  The baby can move to the Marathon when he/she is tall enuf to ride in it (The brand new styles will fit a newborn, but not the old styles...the bottom slots are too tall)

HTHs :)

Thanks!  That's what I was thinking, but I didn't know if maybe the Marathon was still a better seat until she grows out of it?

If both are used correctly, and both fit her correctly, they are equally safe.
