 GREAT for infants!! Maybe not for older toddlers....Nov 11, 2007
I would highly recommend this seat for newborns/infants and toddlers who are slimmer/lankier than most other kids.
My first child had the Eddie Bauer seats, and I was always bothered that when he slept, after facing the seat forward, his head would always droop forward. So, with my second I was determined to get this nicer seat. I was so glad I did up until now (28 months). My daughter starts screaming and struggling to get out after about 10 minutes. She's a normal sized baby - not overweight or underweight - but now that she's getting bigger, the straps seem to bother her to no end. They seem to be too tight at her neck. Also, the seat doesn't sit fully upright. It has 2 settings and neither one sits her in a normal upright position, which I think also bothers her. Perhaps if she was a skinnier kid like her older brother.
I LOVED the seat for her as an infant - it was super easy to install and didn't budge - even with the bulkiness of it. But, now, unfortunately, I'm going to have to sell it and put her her older brother's Cosco/Eddie Bauer seats!
Also, the seat cover and straps have been washed numerous times and still look brand new. But, it is quite tricky to clean the "undercarriage" nooks and crannies.

 A Life Saver!!!Sep 01, 2007
I researched many, many car seats trying to find one that was both extremely safe & comfortable for my daughter. We settled on the Britax Marathon. Then the unthinkable happened and my family and I were in a tragic hit and run auto accident on the interstate. The vehicle we were in was a mid-sized SUV and we were hit with such force that we were thrown off the road uncontrollably & ended up flipping several times down a very steep hill. While I suffered a compression fracture in my lower back and my husband a torn shoulder, our 2 1/2 yr. was completely UNHARMED. Aside from the obvious shock of the accident she was completely kept safe and untouched. We were extremely thankful that this car seat held up under the worst of circumstances. Immediately after the accident we went out and bought her another Britax Marathon to replace the one that had been in the accident (we're taking no chances). I highly recommend this to anyone who is on the fence about this wonderful car seat. It's money well spent. I would rate it 10 stars if I could. It truly is a life saver!
Great seat! Aug 16, 2007
I researched so many car seats before finally buying this one.
My daughter hates sitting in the car seat, but when she does, I know I want her to be as safe as she can possibly be, and the Britax makes that possible.
It's a nice seat, somewhat big in my tiny little Nissan Sentra, at first I wasn't sure if it would fit, but it does.
Sometimes one of the straps kind of gets twisted, and it's a pain to fix, but that doesn't happen often. And when I go to buckle my daughter in, I have to put the right buckle in first, and then the left, otherwise it doesn't buckle in completely, and will come open.

We love it!Jun 08, 2007
We originally bought the Britax Roundabout because it was highly rated with consumer reports(either first or second). Then when we needed an additional carseat we saw that the Marathon was also highly rated.
My husband calls it the Rolls Royce of car seats. It is plush, comfortable, and she sleeps in it on most car rides. The straps are amazing, as they have velcro on the back that grips to the side of the carseat when you remove them. The next time we put her in the carseat the straps are already out of the way and it is a quick strap in. Tangling is truly not a problem. We have the Britax Marathon in my husbands truck and the Britax Roundabout in my car. The Marathon is bigger and will last us longer. We are very happy with both carseats and would recommend them without a doubt.
