Britax Marathon Review

Reviewing Britax Marathon car seat, which I love.  Great, safe, dependable car seat. Would rate it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.  My toddler loves the pink one.    Much more expensive than the others in the same category, but passed additional safety requirements in Europe that are not required in the United States.  Sturdy and dependable.  My toddler does like to take off the padding on the straps, because they are velcroed on.  Improved from the initial model; the original had the feature where you had to put both metal ends into the buckle for either to latch, which is a trick with a squirming toddler.  Now each metal end engages independently.  Works with LATCH system in newer cars.  I do wish the car seat cover was a little easier to remove to wash, but it holds up well in the wash.  I would definitely buy this one again, however (and did, since my first one was stolen).  Definitely invest in this one if you can.
