I did a lot of research on the seat, as I do for all of my big purchases. I was not prepared to spend nearly $300 on a car seat, but the safety of my children is so much more important than the money.

This seat is sturdy, big, comfy, and heavy! Not to moved from car to car. Out of all the reviews I read on other seats, the most complained part was the crotch strap, but not so in the Marathon. This seat is well designed and stylish, and also has a high safety rating.

My children have a great view point in the seat and often fall asleep, even on short trips, so I can only imagine how comfy the seat...
