Britax Marathon Review

I recently looked into buying a britax carseat. I went to the store and thought this carseat looked like anyother carseat. I didn't see what everyone is raving about. I know the only difference is the price. I can not believe people would actually pay that much money for a carseat, don't get me wrong....satefy is very important to me. But is spending that much money going to make your child any safer? Sure they will look "cool" and you will be able to brag about the expensive carseat Brandname you own....but your child is just as safe in any other normally priced carseat. I don't get it. Do they last longer, meaning that they dont "expire" as fast as the other carseats? I thought they were all made out of the same plastic? I think Graco is the brand we used for both of my kids carseats and we have never had any problems with the carseats anytime. I would not recommend this brand of carseat...just so you know
