Britax Marathon — 

I am usually very price conscious but in this case I could never compromise safety for price.  That said the price of the Britax Marathon is fairly reasonably priced for what you get.  The seats are solid.  Cleaning is a snap because the cover is removable.  They are easily assembled and easy to install.  The height adjustment is fantastic.  It is the only carseat I have seen that will adjust the straps to five different height settings and if you have tall children like I do this is a wonderful feature  I was in an accident a few years ago and  Britax replaced my seat after I sent them the accident report free of charge.  Not many companys would do that so in the long run it was worth the investment since I didn't have to purchase another seat after the accident.  The best part about the seat is that it came through the accident unscathed and they still replaced it!  I also love that this seat can be used for children up to 60 punds.  There are seats that also make this claim but the size of the seat is suspect.
