Britax Marathon — 

I am a mother of 3 younger children ages 5 1/2, 3 1/2, and 6 months. Over the past 5 1/2 years we have been through several car seats. Just recently I bit the bullet and decided to spend the bit of extra money to get my youngest (6 month old daughter) a Britax Marathon convertible car seat. It has been one of the best investments I have made. The seat is very well made! My daughter is very comfy in it, and it will last until she is 6!

The LATCH system is amazing on it! It has been the easiest out of all the car seats we have bought. We have been through several with my older two. It is VERY easy to adjust the LATCH. It adjusts on both sides rather than just the one side. It pulls very tight without too much effort.

My only complaint would be in adjusting the harness itself. And it isn't really a big complaint at all. There is a plastic cover that goes over the harness attatchment in the back of the seat. It is a tad difficult to seperate it from the seat, but it does come off so you can adjust the straps. It may take a minute or two.
