JUN

2008

We had a Graco convertable car seat and the straps would get tangled every now and then. So we put the Graco in the second car and purchased the Britax Marathon, which was almost triple the price of the Graco. The Britax is ok, but it's hard to get the buckles snapped into place and it sits up higher making it hard to get my son into it without banging his head on the car. I actually prefer the Graco, even if I have to untangle the straps once in a while.
