I own 4 of these and only have 2 children!Oct 09, 2006
When my first child was born, we bought one of these for my vehicle and we bought one of the cheaper car seats (the Evenflow) for my husband's vehicle for occasional use. This was a case of "you get what you pay for" for me. I love the Britax! It is easy to pop in and out (I use the latch system). My son is very comfortable in it and it is easy to get the cover off for cleaning. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for my husband's car because we couldn't stand dealing with the other one. Now that my second child has arrived, and my first child is only two (still using his- and probably for a while yet) I already knew that I would be using this car seat for her as well. Crazy I know, but when you find a product that is convenient, I say you should spend the money.
The Rolls Royce of Car SeatsApr 23, 2005
This seat is versatile and safe and my daughter is very comfortable in it. It fits very young babies through preschool-age children and I think it's a great bargain when you consider the cost & the safety rating against the number of years of use you'll get from it. We have one in both of our vehicles. Well worth the money.
What I should have bought from day one!Feb 01, 2005
I could not be happier with the Marathon! I am an obsessive car seat buyer (6 seats, 2 years, 2 kids, 2 cars...see my Roundabout review). This is the seat I wish I had purchased on day one! I bought the Roundabout for my first child when it was time to move out of the infant carrier (after trying the hideous Cosco Alpha Omega and all right Graco ComfortSport), and I loved it from the minute it came out of the box! She enjoyed sitting in it, she didn't slump forward, and it feels like it is very well made. When baby #2 came along before big sister was ready for the booster seat, there was not a question in my mind which seat I would be getting...the Marathon! It is big enough to hold her for several more years. I haven't tried it rear facing, but imagine it would be a tight fit in some cars as it is a large seat. If you have a big baby (#2 is 23 lbs at 6 months), this is the seat for you! It's safe, it's durable, it's comfortable! If you are debating whether or not to purchase the Britax, rest assured, there is no better car seat out there!
Best Carseat I've UsedDec 29, 2004
I've used several carseats over the years and this one tops the list. It is easy to figure out how the features work, it has safety features that are above and beyond federal standards, and it is comfy for baby. I love the little details like the one-handed strap adjustment and the velcro tabs to hold the straps out of the way while you're seating your child. It does weigh a bit more than other carseats, but that's because it has steel construction as opposed to merely plastic -- ensuring that the seat won't break in an accident. I wish I'd forked out the cash and gone with Britax from the very start with my 10 year old instead of one of the cheaper and less convenient seats.
The best car seat ever!Dec 17, 2004
I have a evenflo carseat for my oldest son, once he grew out of it and my second son was born he started using it. Well he hated it, I mean hated. After months of listening to him scream in the car, and me going insane or close to it from all the crying I investigated the Britax. I finally decided to get the roundabout but when I went to the store I figured since my son was already 9 months old I would get the Marathon instead. Well guess what? All crying stopped immediately. It was a miracle. I cannot tell you how happy I was with the purchase. It was super easy to install in my car (Nissan Maxima 00') and the straps never get twisted. He is super comfortable and the pad is easy to remove and wash (I know I am now on son # 3 and he loves it too). Also it gets great safety rating which is very important to us. Well worth the money, I would buy another in a second if anything ever happened to mine.
