Britax Marathon Car Seat Review

I bought the Marathon on the recommendation of a friend who had one and I have to say, it was well worth it.   I was pleased that they were well-rated by Consumer Reports, as well.

I needed a new seat after my son outgrew his infant seat and labored over my acr seat decisions.  One of the best selling points of the Britax, in addition to the high safety rating, was the fact that the seat can be sed until the child is 65 lbs.  This allows you to use the seat longer and not have to go buy yet another seat when your child is 40lbs like most others.  So instead on buying two  $100 + car seats, I only have to buy one $200+ car seat (and I got it on sale - bonus!)

 I is also easy to install and uninstall.  So when I drop of my son at my mom's to visit for the weekend, I can easily move his car seat from my van to her car without a tremendous hassle.  The LATCH belts are quick and easy and it's not too much more or a hassle to use the regular lap/shoulder belt in cars that don't have LATCH.

Overall, well worth it.
