While the Britax Marathon is expensive when compared to other car seats, I feel it has been worth the price. It is easy to move from car to car, the latch cover prevents you from pinching sensitive/tiny legs, the child is very snug/secure in the seat and you will be able to use it for years due to the wide range of weights the Marathon supports.

Yes, you’ll spend some more cash for the Marathon, but for us its been worth it.

This brand has to be just about the BEST you can buy for your child.It fits from a 5 pound infant all the way way to a 65 pound child!

Because it fits such a large child it is perfect for kids w/special needs,that may be unable to use a booster seat due to safety or musle tone issues.

I love how easy it is to adjust,the cover is soft and it is roomier then alot of the other seats.

But Britax had a recall on the Marathon and a few other car seats,the recalled seats can be “fixed” w/a kit your order from Britax,go to Britaxs web site for more info,and ordering information on the repair kit.
