Britax Marathon

Pros: Longevity of use, extra features

Cons: Rear-facing weight limit

The Bottom Line: I would absolutely recommend this seat to anyone! The price is not a con for me because it is well worth the cost.

Review: I bought this seat for my son when he was 14 months old and have fallen in love with it! Prior to this seat he was in a Eddie Bauer Convertible Deluxe. I bought a new seat because my nanny needed a seat for him to use in her car, so I gave her the...

Pros: The safety features on the Marathon are top notch with side impact protection.

Cons: It is the best on the market.

Review: My son is big for his age, so we thought we d better go with the Britax Marathon. He was 35 pounds when we got it and we thought it would last for awhile. We started out with it rear facing, and I love the fact that we could switch it to front...

Pros: Comfort pad for chunkier thighs Very comfy and SAFE

Cons: Very big...NOT for small compact cars unless your child is already forward facing.

The Bottom Line: Definitly worth the price for its safety and its comfort.

Review: My son was born with rolls of fat and they have stayed with him through his first 6 months. When it came time to switch him out of an infant carrier to a convertible car seat (he out grew the size limit long before he was old enough to face forward)...

Pros: Safety features - 5 point harness with tether straps

Cons: Over sized seat - doesn't fit well in 2 door cars

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for safety and durability - worth the extra money!!!

Review: We purchased this car seat after much research on safety and durability. Despite the higher than normal cost of a Britax convertible car seat, we decided to purchase 2 (one for my 2 door Honda civic and one for my husbands full size truck). We are...

Pros: Recommended by doctors as the safest car seat available.

Cons: Because it's a larger car seat, the front seat passengers are sometimes squished.

The Bottom Line: I have gotten not one bad review, all friends, family have recommended the Britax Marathon Car Seat.

Review: We purchased the Britax Marathon car seat because of the overwhelming recommendations from our physician, friends and a car seat clinic I had attended. It may be expensive and at first the price gave us sticker shock, but it really is the safest car...

Pros: This seat has a higher weight limit in a 5 point harness, great fabric.

Cons: Will outgrow long before we hit the weight limit of the seat.

Review: Overall a great seat, I bought this because the Britax Regent I wanted is impossible to get right now, and I want my daughter to be safer.
