Product Description
This durable, long lasting convertible car seat is one of the most functional car seats to ever hit the market. A little bit larger than other Britax Car Seats, the marathon is legendary for safety and comfort. The shell of the car seat is a little bit bulkier than others and parents should allow for about 31 inches of seat space when used rear facing. Some of the unique features on the Britax Marathon include a five point polyester harness with no tangle polyester webbing, which is certainly standard on most baby car seats. It also features built in lock-offs for the car's seat belts and a push button LATCH system with versa tether. This Britax Car Seat provides the most security in both forward and rear facing installations. Now, the Britax Convertible Car Seat has Expanded PolyStyrene to increase available shoulder width room. EPS foam also helps soften a blow to the head in collisions. Britax convertible car seats are equipped with their patented HUGS system. It is designed to better distribute webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize the chance for the webbings edge to load on the child's neck. Britax ships all convertible car seats with the lower LATCH connectors stored underneath the cover. Please be certain to thoroughly review the user guide that came with your child seat prior to installing it in your vehicle. (This info is from here: http://www.britaxusa.com/customer-service)

The Marathon's LATCH system is easy to adjust. (Crocodile color shown.) View larger. | An Easy-to-Adjust Design That Grows with Your Baby
The Marathon boasts an easy-to-manage design and enhanced features that can be safely used in cars with or without the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system. For one, it provides built-in lock-off clips that keep the seat tightly in place when using only traditional seatbelts at installation. Secondly, a simple handle pull allows the car seat base to be reclined when rear-facing, and soft padding and a stain resistant, removable and washable cover keep things cozy and stress-free. In addition, the five-point harness system is made with strong polyester webbing, has tangle free straps, and fits snugly over your baby's shoulders, collarbone and hips to provide a secure fit. There are also four adjustable height positions so the seat can truly grow with your baby. Finally, the one-hand recline adjustment allows for proper positioning, which helps ensure your child's safety. HUGS for Optimum Safety and Support
When it comes to safety, the Marathon truly delivers. First, the patented floating HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system exceeds U.S. safety standards by reducing forward head movement as it gently cushions the neck and chest with soft padding--a feature that's particularly important both in the case of an accident and during nap time. In addition, this system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of an impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip. Versa-Tether for Additional Security
Marathon also offers Britax's patented Versa-Tether, an anchor aid that provides additional security in the forward facing position for children weighing more than 50 pounds. The Versa-Tether fastens the top of the car seat to factory installed automobile anchor points, minimizing the possibility of a head injury in the event of impact. This system also allows for rear-facing tethering to help keep the seat consistently stable. Weighing 16.5 pounds, and measuring 19.5 x 27.5 x 25.5 inches (WxHxD), the Marathon is also Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213 compliant, meaning it adheres to a strict set of quality control and safety standards, and is approved for airline travel. The Marathon comes with a 1-year limited warranty. The Marathon is also available in the following colors: Onyx, Mariposa, Crocodile, Mossy Oak, All Star Blue, New Denim, Cowmooflage, and Granite.

 Beautiful August 25, 2010
Dani
It's been 3yras since iv bought a carseat, but after a lot of research I decided to buy this one for my 10 month old. It is extremely soft, and very sturdy. When I received it, I was a bit overwhelmed on how to install it because it looks like a different installation process. Thank goodness the instruction are attached to the carseat. Took about 5 min for me to install, and boy..is it secure. It doesn't move an inch. My daughter seems to love it too. She can peek her lil head up and see around now, rather then her infant car seat. I would def recommend.

Absolutely love this carseat!!! Baby loves that it is soft and cushy. The bottom buckle is a little hard to get undone but usually its because baby is squirming to get out!
 I love it , but it sits so high in our Suv and our son at 37 inches is almost too tall for it already August 22, 2010
Grethe E. Gundersen-bixler
I do love this car seat. The only downsides so far is that it sits really high in our SUV. And it says that it is for kids 49 inches and below. Well, my son is only 37 inches tall and he only has about 4-5 inches to the top of this seat.

I Bought this for my daughter when she grew out of her infant car seat carrier. I absolutely love this seat!! We use the latch system but have had to use it other ways in different vehicles (lap belt ect.) No matter how you install it is fast and easy. It is a bit heavy but very durable! My daughter has spilled chocolate milk on the cover, put her dirty shoes in winter time on it and I just shout it out and throw it in the washer, I dry it also even though the instructions say otherwise (just on low heat). She has 2 other seats (one for grandma and one for daddy) and seems most comfortable in this one. I also like that the weight recommendations are from 5-65lbs so you don't have to keep upgrading to another car seat.
Safe Seat, Great Value August 16, 2010
Danielle Housenick (Rockville, MD)
I have just purchased my second Britax Marathon car seat since we just purchased a second car. It is easy to install and very comfortable for my two year old. We recently went on a two day roadtrip (16 hours) and she was very comfy in her seat. One of the main reasons we chose the Marathon was that it goes up to 65 lbs. Even though we paid a bit more, we can use this seat until she can use a booster (and beyond that too if we want!)
