Great deal, I'm tempted to get one to put aside for Drew. What are the height/weight limits on the marathon?

Marathon weight limit FF is 65lbs. Most children outgrown by height beforehand - that is when the shoulders creep above the top harness slot or the top of the ears are level with the top of the shell of the seat. Total height measurements should be ignored.

Wow, that is a great deal. We still need to get one more seat for Sam since our Triumphs are expiring. We already replaced one with a Regent, and I was planning to get a Nautilus for the other car. Do you know if a Regent will fit in the second row of a Mazda 5? What are the differences in slot height between the two?

I don't know anything specific to your vehicle, but since you have a Regent, you can try it out. Make sure you have a tether anchor location back there. Differences in slot height between the two:

Regent - 20 inches
Nautilus - 18.5 inches.

Thanks Laura! We do have a tether anchor - the Triumph is currently using it. Even the third row has them, but no LATCH back there.

Is this for use once they outgrow the bucket?

Heavens no;) This is from when they outgrow a convertible seat forward-facing. The next stage after the bucket is a high rear-facing weight limit convertible like the Graco MyRide (RF 40lbs), the Sunshine Kids Radian line (RF 45lbs) etc.

This seat is good for a child who is the size of an average 4 year old.
