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: 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) I ...

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!!!

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 seat ...

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: 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 ...
