Britax Marathon

Pros: It's just the best seat on the market hands down!

Cons: Price-but nothing is too much when it comes to my son's safety (see above)

The Bottom Line: An amazingly well constructed car seat that is easy to install/use with some of the cutest covers available. I constantly recommend it to friends, family and even strangers!

Review: I am in Canada and the restrictions and safety requirements are different than they are in the USA but some aspects about the seat are similar. The Marathon is better in many regards. It has the longest seatback and highest harness slots which mean ...

Pros: Safety record; Tangle-free straps; Shoulder strap pads; Strap settings for tall kids; Attractiveness

Cons: More expensive than other Britax Marathon designs

The Bottom Line: I say definitely put the Britax Cowmooflage Marathon in your car -- and at the minimum, on the top of your list!

Review: As my long and lanky baby girl began to outgrow her infant carseat, I began my quest for a convertible carseat. My criteria? Safety, ease of use and ease on the eyes. I found all three in the Britax Cowmooflage Marathon! As I said earlier, safety was ...

Pros: Safety, comfort, ease of use and FUN cover cannot be beat!!

Cons: Ouch, my wallet hurts!!! Pricey

The Bottom Line: This seat is worth the money for it's safety, comfort, and fun look and a good place to splurge for your child if you are able.

Review: Our daughter was getting ready to turn a year old and while she was still on the small side for weight, she was tall and needed to make the jump from her rear facing infant seat to a convertible car seat. We wanted the best on the market and did a lot of ...

Pros: Safety features, high weight limit

Cons: Price, size

The Bottom Line: Buy it! Your children and their safety are worth it!

Review: A friend of mine had a Britax Marathon, and raved about the safety features, but I felt that the cost was a bit prohibitive, especially since there were perfectly good car seats on the market for a fraction of the cost of a Britax seat. However, my ...

Pros: Higher weight/height limits. Super cool, plush fabrics. Great latch buckles.

Cons: PRICE PRICE PRICE. Buckles could click into place easier.

The Bottom Line: All Canadian approved car seats have to pass the same tests, so maybe it wasn't worth the $. But they do make great fabrics!

Review: I was putting my 19lb boy in his infant carrier that is good up to 22lbs the other day and noticed that the back label on the seat said it's only good for kids up to 26 inches! They don't advertise that anywhere on their site, packaging, etc.. just on ...

Pros: Very comfortable plush seating. Roomy. Great straps.

Cons: Very heavy. Good thing I've only ever had to move it for an emergency.

The Bottom Line: If you have a baby who outgrows the snap in car seat, this is a nice comfy ride when rear-facing that feels very safe.

Review: Our baby girl was way too long and chubby for her Peg Perego SIP car seat by about 5 months. We bought this car seat because it was roomier and would last her even when she would be forward facing. The fabric is very soft, the seat is very comfy. ...
