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.
