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.

 Great Carseat! January 30, 2010
S. Cheeseman (Houston, TX)
I did extensive research on carseats prior to purchasing this one. It is more expensive than most other carseats but as you know you get what you pay for. All carseats are required to meet certain federal standards but I chose this one because of the Britax repuatation, their website and other customer reviews on this site. The carseat is rather large and heavy. We have a honda odyssey and this fits absolutely PERFECT in both the bucket seats. We have also had to use this in our tiny Honda Civic. It fit in the middle just fine. You would not be able to put this behind the seats in the Civic, so if you have more than one child and a smaller car, you will need a smaller seat if you are using this as rear facing. Forward facing would not be a problem. The BEST feature about this carseat is how long you can use it rear facing. That was very important to us. You can use this much longer than other seats rearfacing. The seat is VERY easy to install and we were able to get an extremely tight fit. The seat belt clips on the side stop the seat from tilting. We had problems with our daughters other carseat doing that and had to reinstall all the time to get it straight again. The straps are very nice and do not get tangled. Its a great seat and we are looking forward to getting much use out of it. Its comfortable and sturdy. We have had this seat for almost 3 months now and I am glad to have spent the extra $$ for this one. One thing I would do before you purchase ANY carseat is check out compatibility with your car at [...]
Also, always take your seat to a certified inspection center where they will ensure its installed properly for FREE. 90% of people do NOT have their seats installed correctly and/or do not put their children in the seat properly. This is the most important "item" (if I can say it like that) in your vehicle...do it right!! Good LUCK. I know it wore me out looking for the right seat. Our daughter is 11 months old and weighs 17 pounds.
Third one and still loving it! January 30, 2010
April Woods (Oviedo, FL, United States)
We have three young children (38mo, 22mo & 3mo) and this is the third Britax Marathon we've purchased. We are very happy with it and will continue to purchase Britax if we have more children.
 Awkward harness, buckle and adjustment January 26, 2010
two channel charlie (Detroit, Michigan)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
After reading all the rave reviews, I was so thrilled to finally be able to install this once my son outgrew his Graco Snugride. I HATE it. I just can't seem to be able to get the straps adjusted correctly and the one strap is twisted after like 3 uses! And I can't seem to untwist it... it somehow got twisted behind the seat. Also, it won't adjust properly and I can't tighten the straps like I want. Now I have to take this stupid behemoth of a car seat out of my car and bring it in the house and turn it upside down and fix the flippin strap and see what is going on with the adjusting strap. Even when it was working, it seemed like the fit wasn't right for my 9mo old 21lb son. I just don't feel he is safe in the seat. Not what I want out of an almost $300 car seat.
I am NOT happy. This seat sucks.
Perfect Car Seat - for newborns, toddlers, and kids alike January 21, 2010
Christine Van Winkle (NoVa)
We own three of these Marathon seats. We switched our first daughter to one when she turned one, and with our second daughter, we put her in it right from the start as a newborn, rear-facing. It really is wonderful. We used a Graco infant seat originally, and she HATED it. She would scream and writhe every time we put her in the seat. We have never had this issue with the Marathon, both children love to get in them, even for long trips. I think they both love to ride in the car because it is so comfortable for them. They can snuggle up against the side head rests and go directly to sleep. Our eldest is now three, and the younger almost 1. We purchased an extra so that the grandparents could drive our 3 year old for us.
Don't waste your money on something cheaper. It isn't worth it! The quality difference is extraordinary.
I couldn't recommend it more highly. The cover is durable and easy to remove for machine washing. The seat is easy to adjust, and sturdy. The only accident we have experienced was being rear-ended, but I don't think our daughter even felt it in her Marathon.
Great seat! January 18, 2010
J. Buckman (Wayne, PA United States)
I can't say much about the seat other then it is of exceptional quality and I love the fact that someone still actually manufactures something in the US. I hope I never have to rate this seat on its' crash resistance and safety but I can say I did an exhausting amount of research on the Britax lineup and am very happy to have chosen this seat.
