Last year it was so hot in Paw Paw, we decided to go again!
This time, I needed a couple models for comparing the new Britax Marathon 70 to the current Britax convertibles. A couple moderators from Car-Seat.Org joined me again and I also asked a couple forum members from the area who had expressed interest in a recent thread about the new Marathon 70 and also had some kids near the rear facing weight limits.
The results of our gathering on the humid, sunny day with temps above 90 in the shade can be found in this thread. Given the heat and all the kids with us, we were not able to be as comprehensive as we might have done on a nicer day. Plus, measurements are always subjective, so please take our opinions and photos with a grain of salt, though we did generally agree on our conclusions.
I do think the kids enjoyed the park. It was relatively large, delux and new within the last couple years. I just hope the next child seat with this much anticipation is released in the spring or fall!
Thanks for braving the heat to share all your kids and seats with the rest of us 🙂
And I didn’t get to pass along any extra carseats this time, lol. The small cooler with frozen juice packs I brought along would’ve been more accessible if we hadn’t buried it under so many extra carseats in the trunk. 😉 Thanks again to Darren for the early look at the MA70, for bringing along extra water to share, and for lunch. I think I neglected to thank him properly in person, whoops.
At least I didn’t come home with any extra seats this year! And the kids did have a great time at the playground. (Next time I’m bringing a large cooler full of ice and water,though!)
