Britax Marathon — 

The Britax Marathon carseat is the best carseat we've ever bought by far. We have 2 of them for our children (ages 2 and 5), and we like them much better than the Evenflo or even the other more expensive Britax newer model whose name is escaping me.  We did a lot of research before buying our first carseat for our daughter, and each time the Marathon was recommended by not only online reviews but also by our own friends and family members.  THey were quite a bit pricier than other carseats, but once we weighed the benefits of them vs. the price it really seemed to make sense.  They are very roomy, and have a generous weight limit so they can be used for a number of years (the 5 yr old is still in her carseat and potentially could be for another 30 lbs or so?!)  The seats are very comfy for our children and they are by far the easiest to adjust, which is a huge bonus for me as I'm constantly adjusting the seats to accomodate for coats and whatnot for the wacky weather we have in the midwest. Would definitely buy again!
