Britax Marathon

Pros: 5 point harness, safe, safest car seat on market, Britax

Cons: High base, seems big for newborns, straps stain

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend a Britax car seat for being the safest for children. As overprotective as I am, I trust the Britax name to keep my baby girl safe.

Review: I chose a 5 point harness Britax Marathon car seat for my daughter. Why? I wanted her to be as safe as possible riding in the car.There are few drawbacks to owning this car seat and I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Many things can be scrimped on ...

Pros: Sturdy construction, very safe, easy to use and install.

Cons: Price, but well worth it

The Bottom Line: I would recommend the britax seats for their durability, stability, ease of daily use and ease of installation. Pricey but well worth the money in the long run

Review: We purchased the Britax after purchasing 2 other car seats and returning them both because they were difficult to adjust properly. This seat is a dream to get your child in and out of and even has velcro strap holders to keep the straps out of the way ...

Pros: Safe, comfortable, easy to install, straps do not twist

Cons: Costly and Heavy

The Bottom Line: I would not hesitate to recommend this carseat. I was skeptical when shelling out the money initially, but it has been worth every cent.

Review: We bought a Britax Marathon for our son 2 years ago and we think it is a great seat-in fact probably the best on the market. I will note that my husband thinks that the seat is too big and heavy, and I do agree to a point but we are now used to it and I ...

Pros: Safe, easy to use and adjust, can be used for many years

Cons: Expensive

The Bottom Line: I completely recommend this product. Although expensive, if you buy it when your baby is little you will absolutely get your money's worth out of it!

Review: This car seat is a great investment. It is super-safe, easy to use, comfortable, and nice-looking. But it is expensive, so buy it when your baby is little so you can really get your money's worth! We started out with two car seats for my infant ...

Pros: Safety, comfort.

Cons: Cannot be detached as an infant carrier.

Review: I love this carseat, I know my baby is safe when in the car and it will last her through the toddler years. As a newborn, she is very comfortable. The only thing is that it cannot be detached as an infant carrier. But that's okay, I keep an infant ...

Pros: Safe Comfortable Easy LATCH install Secure fit Easy to clean

Cons: Harder to install rear-facing with seat belts

Review: We have the Britax Marathon in the Arctic Cat print. We love it! We purchased it when our daughter was 14 months old. To use rear-facing, the straps must be worn at or below the shoulders. However, even on the lowest slots, they were too high up. We ...

Pros: Strong, easy to use, easy to clean, good for several years

Cons: Heavy, a bit costly (but worth it), too long for small cars

Review: We bought this car seat 2 years ago (2005) as our first boy turned 6 months. Even that young, our boy was comfortably and safely seated. Since then we've been very satisfied with it. It is strongly built, easy to install both using LATCH or the seat ...

Pros: Easy to get in and out of. Easy to clean and adjust.

Cons: My child figured out how to get out of seat by loosening straps. Poorly designed.

Review: We bought this car seat because of all of the high ratings that it received. I worked really well until my 2 year old figured out how to loosen the shoulder harness by pulling the strap release that is located between his legs. It has been an ...
