Product Description
The standard length for a marathon is 26.2 miles. The Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat will cover more than 100 times that distance. This durable, long lasting convertible car seat is one of the most functional car seats to ever hit the market. A little bit larger than other Britax Car Seats, the marathon is legendary for safety and comfort. The shell of the car seat is a little bit bulkier than others and parents should allow for about 31 inches of seat space when used rear facing. Some of the unique features on the Britax Marathon include a five point polyester harness with no tangle polyester webbing, which is certainly standard on most baby car seats. It also features built in lock-offs for the car's seat belts and a push button LATCH system with versa tether. This Britax Car Seat provides the most security in both forward and rear facing installations. Now, the Britax Convertible Car Seat has Expanded PolyStyrene to increase available shoulder width room. EPS foam also helps soften a blow to the head in collisions. Britax convertible car seats are equipped with their patented HUGS system. It is designed to better distribute webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize the chance for the webbings edge to load on the child's neck. The Britax Marathon provides parents with an all around all-star car seat. However, it may be too large for some vehicles. For those looking for a smaller Britax Car Seat, the Britax Roundabout is a perfect choice. It is a little smaller than the Britax Marathon as it holds up to just 40 lbs.

Summary: Great seat 2008-12-01
Comment: I have several friends who have this seat and have been very pleased. I am as well. It is easy to install and my son appears to be very comfortable. Well, at least the screaming has stopped when we put him in the car =)
I don't know that I would put a newborn in it though. We started using it around 3 months (12 1/2 pounds and 25 1/2") and would have liked to be able to tighten the shoulder straps just a bit more.
Would buy again for a 2nd child.

Summary: Great carseat- easy to install and use! 2008-11-29
Comment: We bought this carseat after our Graco wouldn't fit securely in our 2008 Honda CRV. This one went in much easier and is very sturdy. Also, the straps are easy to adjust and baby seems very comfortable. I also really like the velcro hold backs for the straps. Makes it easy to load/unload the baby.

Summary: Great seat! 2008-11-28
Comment: We are so happy with this seat. It is so much more comfortable for my 11 month old. I love the colors and the fact that there is velcro on the inside of the seat, which holds the straps away from my baby as I am loading her in and out of the seat. I would recommend this seat to anyone!
