Advice needed on Britax carseats?
I want to buy a Britax. I am looking at the Marathon right now. I heard they are big but I drive an SUV (not a big one, a smaller one) but it should be ok. I hope! But.. I might be travelling by airplane and I heard the marathon is too big for airline seats and the roundabout is better. I really want the marathon though. Help, any advice or opinions, recent experiences, welcome!
Also, I’m trying to buy online. Which fabric is nicest in person? I am looking at the cow print and the crocodile. I like the onyx but feel its too dark for the hot weather.

I have the decathlon and love it. This is my 3rd child and I have had all of my kids in Britax seats. I do find that my seat is very large for the airline seats, so when we travel on the plane we check the seat. (most airlines will check this for free) I do not know how old your child is, but if the trips are short enough then just buy a seat on the plane and no car seat. Lap for take off and landing and then teach how to sit in airline seats for quiet play and sleep. My daughter will be 3 soon ans has made the trip to and from Europe several times with no problem and no car seat on the plane. You could also invest in a smaller car seat (we have a cheaper Eddie Bauer one in my husbands car for the just in case he needs to pick up the kids and emergencies) they will fit on the plane much easier.
Good luck.
