Solid seat, but lock offs are a pain

safety conscious, parent of toddlers, experienced parent, not rich

Pros

Comfortable for long car trips, can be used until 65 lbs.

DEC

2007

I have a Britax Marathon installed rearfacing in my 1999 Ford Windstar. The seat belongs to my 24 lb 26 month old son. I like that the seat seems solid, can rearface until 33 lbs and forward face even longer, and that it can be tethered while rear facing. I don't like that the seat belt lock offs are impossible to use in my van. My husband and I spent hours trying to get them to lock, and they just won't stay shut. This is not an uncommon problem with this seat, from what I understand. We have to use a locking clip instead, ot the seat won't stay secure. overall, it's a good seat, though. I plan on using it for quite some time. My son seems comfortable in ti.
