I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE G's new CarSeat! Thanks Dad & Margaret! The Britax Marathon™ is a convertible car seat ideal for parents seeking premium comfort and a higher, forward-facing harnessed weight capacity. The seat features side impact protection, which distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, and contains the head and body. The tangle-free, five-point harness with four harness heights ensures a snug and secure fit. Premium push-button LATCH connectors provide a quick, simple and tight installation. Unique features include the patented Versa-Tether® for energy management, and rear- and forward-facing recline for child comfort and positioning.
The Rule is to be Forward Facing, your child MUST be 1 year & 20 lbs. - 65 lbs. This is the minimum. It is recommended to keep your child rear facing up til 35 lbs but not required to.

Yah, RIGHT - Maely is 34 pounds and 4.5 years old and almost as tall as Miri, age 6, and barely 40 pounds. Her legs are FAR too long to be facing backwards - not to mention she'd REVOLT if anyone even tried to block her view. Those figures are for hefty American kids, not dainty Asian kids who don't reach 20 pounds until well over a year old!! We LOVE our Britax Marathons, but they are HEAVY and not easily portable... but I wouldn't have anything else (altho I did have to trade in my convertible for an SUV to be able to fit the car seat in, LOL!!)!! My Mom can't understand why Miri, at 6, is still in a car seat, but she's perfectly comfortable, has never once complained, and has a great view out the window, and anyhow, it's rated to 65 pounds!! Ya did good, Mommy Stephe!!!
We have all the same stuff this is a great carseat again you will not be disappointed....
