Britax Marathon Car Seat Review

When we were in the market for a car seat for our 2 yr old granddaughter my husband used Consumer Reports and various other consumer periodicals to find a seat that was not only safe, reliable and sturdy but one that was comfortable for the child and easy for me to install and adjust.

A safety seat is only safe if installed correctly and if the child is correctly buckled in.  The Britax Marathon is very easy to install.  The small paper back manual is attached to an elastic cord that is connected under the seat cushion and can easily be pulled out to examine directions and diagrams when making adjustments.  Because it's attached to the child seat it is always with the seat even when you change cars.

We live about 4 hours away from our grandkids and often travel with them.  The only complaint we have ever had is that there is no cup or bottle holder attached to the seat.....

It's comfortable for the kids ~ it has high safety ratings ~ and it's easy for us !  Our granddaughter has graduated to a booster seat now and we're using the Marathon with a new grandson !
