Britax Marathon Best of the Best!, July 18, 2006
With so many seats to choose out there its no wonder that it can become so confusing. Infant car seats, convertibles and finally the boosters. 20lb's, 40lb's 65lb's Yikes! What's a mother to do?
Well I'll tell you what I did! I did my research and found that the Britax Marathon gave me more value and safety for my buck than any other car seat on the market. The Marathon is a Convertible Child Seat with LATCH that can be used rear facing for children 5 to 33 pounds and forward facing up to 65 pounds. The child's height should be between 18 and 49 inches. Not to mention that your little ones are secured by a five point harness that displaces the energy evenly across their precious little bodies. The Marathon with its patented lock-off, versa-tether and latch belt make this the easiest and most secure seat to install. Even though I was not thrilled about the color choices for my little girl online. I chose the Ashley floral pattern SO CUTE!!! and found the best price of $219.99 offered at travelingtikes.com including shipping. Do yourself's a favor and invest in your child's safety. I know that when I get behind the wheel of my car that I feel more confident now knowing that I have a Britax, than when we had our first infant car seat. Happy travels!
P.S. If you would like more information about the Britax Marathon. Visit Britax directly at www.

Ride in comfort (and style)., July 5, 2010
It is totally comfortable and roomy. One of my favorite features is the velcro on the sides of the carseat and the straps....it holds the straps to the side while you get the kid settled in. I would definitely buy one again. Only negative is that it has no cup holder. Luckily there is room in the carseat next to my son for his cup.

Using this seat for 6 years., December 29, 2009
Bought this seat when my son was 1 yr old but not heavy enough to be turned around facing front (20 lbs.). He was long and leggy so I needed something bigger than what I had (something that came with a stroller).
Used the Latch and tether until he exceeded the weight limit for latch (42 lbs. according to the manual)(now using seat belt/tether as directed). Still using this seat- my son is 7 and a half. We love the harness, it protects him better! He sits higher so he can see out. The seat cover comes off and is completely washable. During the time we've had this there was a recall on the strap between the legs that tightens the shoulder straps and we received it in the mail with complete and easy to follow directions to fix.
Read the manual and register your product.
This is the Mercedes (*TM) of car seats! Exceeds US and European safety standards!
At the time this was a bit of an extravagant purchase but well worth it!! It has lasted us this long!
Everything that touches your child is removable-and washable. It's a bit complicated getting it all back together. If you aren't comfortable- take the cover off and put it in the shower and hose it off....straps and all. Soap and water the juice/food/yuck stains.
Really! Bought this April 2003 and still using it (one child)! It's pristine!

Best Car Seat Ever!, January 28, 2009
This is the best car seat I have ever used! Very easy to use, especially with the latch system eliminates using the seat belts. This seat has a protector around the bottom of the buckle to prevent burns if the buckle get too hot and fabric covers on the top of the straps to keep kids from getting rub marks on their neck.

Perfect for the baby on the go, June 2, 2006
Our daughter Reagan loves this seat. She falls asleep everytime we put her in it. It has very comfortable foam padding. It is easy to take out and install and adjust the straps. I love the padded covers over the straps that keep them from cutting into her skin. Maybe a little pricey but I was told it is suppose to be the "cadillac of car seats". Britax also has some of the best safety reviews of any seat and you can't put a price on safety. Also it is a good way to start your little Bama fan off right.

Great!, June 3, 2009
We purchased this car seat because of its known quality. So far it is great and I have to say i was worried about the material but my daughter loved it as soon as she sat in it. We even were thinking about taking it off and putting it in her crib so that she would sleep better.

An Auburn Indulgence, May 21, 2009
As the wife of an Auburn grad, I've come to find that Auburn fans generally take their team spirit to the limit and my husband's need of an Auburn car seat for our son is a true example. The car seat is the same as any Britax Marathon in style and function (Amazingly great carseat by the way.)
The Navy blue cover has the Auburn "AU" symbol with the word "Tigers" underneath, both in Auburn orange. I, personally, would have liked an Aubie face on there to add some kid appeal but overall, very nice. All my husband's college friends have been very impressed with it.

Great car seat, February 14, 2009
So far I love this car seat and so does my son. He is still sitting facing backwards waiting to turn one. He is a large boy, and I needed to upgrade him from his infant seat at a little over six months of age. He was much happier in his new car seat than his little infant seat. He is currently about 10 months old, is 31 inches tall and weighs about 23.5 lbs. While he is still content to look backwards, I'm sure he will be happier to face forward. The belts are easy to use and it fits just fine in my vehicle, which is an SUV. I have not had any problems with the diaper area being too tight as mentioned in several other reviews of the same product without the Nebraska logo. All in all a great seat!
