Britax Marathon —
I purchased our Britax Marathon after doing hours of on-line research. I was looking for something that was going to last a long time, was comfortable, easy to use and install, and most importantly very safe. I believe that I have found all these things in this seat.
We have been using this seat for over 6 months and I still love it. I have installed it in a variety of cars and have not had a problem once. Some people are intimidated by this seats size, but even in our 2 door Honda Civic it installs like a dream. This seat fits my very tall daughter with lots of space above her head, I can foresee this seat getting us to booster age with no problems.
Until we purchased this seat my daughter hated the car, but not anymore. We have been a two long road trips (10 plus hours) and she was fantastic the whole time. The cover is very plush and the seat is well padded.
The only reason that I can not give the Britax Marathon 5 stars is because I think that it is difficult to adjust the harness. We also have a Britax Roundabout and it adjusts so easy, and that is what I was expecting with the Marathon. Instead of the smooth motion like the Roundabout, you need to do a quick tug and release motion to get the seat to adjust properly. Although this is not a deal breaker for me, I do find it a bit annoying.
Overall this was a great buy for us. I highly recommend the Britax Marathon.
