This carseat is the best! My husband and I purchased this when our oldest son was a baby and need to get out of his infant seat. We had a vehicle that had a hard time with rear fasting carseats. It was very hard to loosen and tighten the straps on all the other carseats that we tried. The Britax Marathon has none of these problems. The seat has such good quality to it. It's easy to install and the straps NEVER twist or get folded over. I  recommend this carset to everyone that I know. We have a cheaper carseat and you can totally tell the difference in quality. The other carseat is harder to put...

This car seat has been great for our family - the safety ratings are among the best on the market.  While it is pricey, I feel it is worth it for the safety of our son.  He continues to be rear-facing at almost 21 months- this car seat is plenty comfortable for him now and he has plenty of time to grow into it!

I received my first Britax Marathon as a gift from a relative. I was so impressed that we saved for a couple of months to buy another one for my husband's truck.

This car seat is super easy to install and take out (think trips to grandma's and having to move it from my car to hers for the stay).

Even taking the carseat apart for cleaning is easy. My daughter suffered from motion sickness coupled with acid reflux, and unfortunately for 2 years we lived out in the boonies with a 1 hour + car trip into town or to work/daycare etc. She would often throw up in the car, all over herself and the seat,...

After MANY, MANY hours of research on the internet and asking everyone I know with a child about car seats, I finally settled on getting a Britax Decathalon.  It had some of the highest ratings on every site I visited.  Britax in general was always rated at the top in every single category - safety, comfort, quality, etc.  I do not regret my decision one bit!  In fact, after having this car seat for a very short amount of time my husband and I both agreed it was well worth the money to buy another Decathalon.  We have since bought a Marathon as well (for a friend's car - we would have gotten...

I was very hesitate on paying this much for a car seat but after reading reviews and comparing the seat, it was a no brainer. My son is worth any amount it takes to keep him safe and this seat does just that. Fit great in our vehicles and is always snug and secure. My son is comfortable in the seat. He has been in it since he was a year and is turning 4 this month - he CANNOT unbuckle it which I love. I have hand washed the cover when needed and it still looks new. Wonderful seat.

I thoroughly reviewed convertible carseats before deciding to get the Britax Decathlon.  My sister had one and loved it, so this helped.  Plus the reviews online for this were great.  It's expensive though but since it lasts until your kid is about 6, I felt that even though it was a lot of money up front, it would be worth it.  Here is a tip as well...if you don't care about the color you can get this car seat for about $180.00 shipped.

I like this carseat.  I don't love it.  I'm very short and in order to get my daughter in this snuggly I have to crawl into my car to get leverage before...

I just purchased the Frontier and installed it in my car. This is my 5th Britax car seat, I have had 3 Marathons and one Parkway. I notice several people complain about ease of install on the Frontier, and I have one thing to say. READ THE MANUAL!!! I skimmed the manual when I got it, figuring that LATCH installation would be similar to all the other Britax seats I have had. After strugging with it for a while, I went back to the manual and discovered - it isn't. The LATCH buckles are recessed into the body of the seat, which makes it impossible to tighten the conventional way one tightens a Marathon...

I purchased the Britax Marathon for my first baby after I heard how strong and safe it was.  I used to use the Graco infant carrier so when I received the Britax Marathon, I was surprised at how big and bulky it was.  I guess it's because it's very strong but the height of it was too high, everytime I put my baby in I have to be careful not to hit his head on the roof the the car ( which I did few times...ouch...poor baby).  I am now considering changing the car seat to something that wont take up so much space and does not sit so high in the seat.  I do appreciate the dependability the Britax...

The Britax Marathon Convertable car seat is one of the best products we've bought since we have had a baby.  We loved it so much, we bought one more to put in our second car. Our son is comfortable in it as the material is soft and the frame allows him to sit with appropriate support. Other car seats we looked at didn't seem to offer the support it does on the child's lower back and that has been a concern of mine. With this one, his back is snug all the way into the car seat, but he can see around without trying to move his body forward.  Even when he was a very young baby, he seemed more comfortable...

When we were making the transition from one child to two, we began looking for a safe smaller carseat to fit inside my smaller car, a Nissan Sentra. I read Britax Roundabout reviews online and found that it was generally well liked. For the moment of installation, I knew I would never own another carseat. It was easy to install, and although it had a smaller base, even when pushing with all my strength, I could not move the carseat an inch. It was easy to fit this seat along side an infant carseat even in the back of my smaller car.

The installation wasn't the only thing about the Britax Roundabout...

I knew that Britax was a name that people thought of when they think of safety in car seats.  When we started looking into a convertable car seat for our son we immediatly started looking into Britax.  The Marathon is a middle of the road Britax, meaning there are some less expensive and some more expensive.  We wanted to not spend too much money while maintaining safety for our son.  We we able to test out the Britax in the store and the latching systen is the easiest I have ever seen.  This is great if you are switching the car seat for car to car or taking it out when you need to.  The...

I love the Boulevard's side impact protection. It seems to be the safest option as far as carseats go. The fabric comes clean in the washer, which is good for us because our daughter is very messy. A big plus also is that with most carseats, they need to be replaced after 5 years. The Britax brand is good for 10 years. The only thing negative I could say is that it is rather big and although my little one does not complain, the crotch strap is kind of tight. Over all a very good product. We will be buying another one for our other child.
