 Great SeatAug 19, 2008
I searched forever for a good seat for our daughter. I came to this one through reveiews, and I am so glad I got it. It is so easy to put in and switch from our two cars and it fits in my husbands Civic, which I was very glad it did. It is so soft and our daughter loves it. She know can see out the window at what's going on around her. And unlike her baby car seat this one does not move when it is strapped in, which makes me feel SO safe. I don't know how I lived without it. And knowing how well it did with front and side impact ratings is a MAJOR plus. Very glad we have it.
Great Car Seat!Aug 14, 2008
I love this car seat! We have had it for over 3 years now. I have traveled with it everywhere incl. airplanes. It latches in so tight with all of our vehicles there is no way for it to move. My child has never been able to get himself out of the seat. It's hard to do and I have told him to never take his seat belt off unless an adult gives him permission. I'm due in November and plan on buying another one for our little girl.

 BUYER BEWARE- NOT A SEAT FOR INFANTSJul 26, 2008
While this seat is wonderful for older babies and toddlers it is not right for an infant.
I bought this with the intention of only using one seat from birth until she needed a booster. I was furious and disappointed when I went to leave the hospital and my dd, 7lbs6oz 20in, was way too small for this seat. The straps were a good 2in above her shoulders and rubber on the straps was longer than her body. It was impossible for me to fit my child in this seat and even if I could it would have been incredibly unsafe.
I feel deceived by Britax. I am now out the extra money I never intended to spend on a bucket seat. I also am very concerned about the infants that are improperly buckled and lives are in danger because of the misrepresentation of this seat from Britax.
Huge Britax FanJun 19, 2008
We bought the Britax Marathon because we are expecting another baby this summer, and decided to move our rapidly growing toddler into the Marathon (good up to 65 lbs) and keep our current Britax Roundabout for the new baby. I love both car seats and recommend Britax to everyone. The seat is sturdy and easy to install, and I love the extra cushioning. My only warning would be to individuals with small vehicles: the Marathon is too big for the rear facing position- you'll have to move your front seats way up. Since we're using this seat for our 18 month old, we only plan to use it in the forward facing position and use the smaller Roundabout for rear facing. That said, the Marathon is a great car seat and I would buy it again if/when we try for baby #3.

This car seat is great. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, comfy, and easy-to-use seat for their child. I'l happy that the weight range is so wide; I can use if for years to come!
