The Marathon is the one we primarily use for Caitlin, and it really seems
comfortable for her. We do have a similar but cheaper model in the other
car, but it pushes her head forward and her chin down a bit and really
appears to be uncomfortable for longer rides so we avoid using it if
possible. One of the nice things about the Marathon is the high, straight
back that gives plenty of support and doesn't curve her back or her neck at
all.
