Britax Marathon — 

This Britax Marathon seat has lasted through four toddlers, all boys. It has always washed up nicely and is then easy to reinstall into our minivan. No camplaints from the little ones when we take long cross country trips. It has been a great addition to our family. I would definitely buy it again as it was worth every penny.  The seat cover is easy to remove and clean after the little one has an accident or spill. There has been some where and tear on the cover. The cover on ours is denim and it has faded and worn in the areas that get rubbed a lot. The cost of the car seat is on the higher end of car seats but, it is worth the intial investment because it will last up to 65 pounds. My seven year old isn't even 65 pounds yet. My kids move out of this seat and into a booster seat when they are 40 pounds.The buckle is a bit difficult for strangers to attempt. However, once one figures out the puzzle it is very easy to buckle up. The instruction booklet was easy to understand and was helpful when it came time to go from rear facing to front facing. I have installed the car seat in many different vehicles when we have travelled to visit relatives and found it easy to install in my mother's and brother's vehicles. I did not ever bring it on the airplane when we travelled so I do not know if the dimensions are compatible with an airline seat.
