So, if we take price out of the picture....TrueFit or Blvd?

There is a Blvd on sale right now for $219, so close enough to the True Fit to be a moot point.

What are the good and bad of the two? Anybody know what is different about the new True Fit coming out? Are there pictures out of it?

For me, I'd get the TrueFit. Reasons:
-It'll last longer RF (I think my DD will outgrow the MA by height before weight)
-It'll last longer FF (Maybe enough of a difference to get to a boosterable age for most kids)
-The removable headrest is GREAT for younger babies (I havent put mine on yet at 11months)
-It fits newborns, which could be handy if we have another
-I love the no-rethread continuous loop harness.

Advantages of the Marathon (as I see it):
-RF harness adjuster is not as irritating
-Britax name
-more cool covers
-RF tether

I'm not as obsessed with Britax as most folks, and I'm quite happy with the sporty blue TF cover so....

The new TF will have an anti-rebound bar, and is supposed to have a better harness adjuster location when RF. I don't think much else is changing. If I were buying one I'd get the new one though for those features.

But, the new one won't be out until July.

I would not buy a true fit until the new model comes out simply for the lack of anti rebound protection. Some people don't think it's a big deal, so it totally depends on how you feel about it. I had to buy DD2 a seat recently. Had the true fit been released on time, that is what I would have bought for the additional shell space, but the tether was more important to me. I can always buy something else in the future when they outgrow their convertibles FF.

Is this for RF or FF? I'd buy the true fit if it will be for FF only.
