Product Description
The standard length of a marathon is 26.2 miles, and the Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat will cover more than 100 times that distance. The Britax Marathon Convertible car seat is one of the most functional seats to ever hit the market. Slightly larger than other Britax Car Seats, the Marathon is legendary for safety and comfort. It's important to note that the shell of the car seat is a bit bulkier than others, so parents should allow for about 31 inches of seat space when used rear facing. Some of the unique features on the Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat include a five-point polyester harness with no-tangle polyester webbing, built in lock-offs for the car's seat belts, and a push-button LATCH system with VersaTether. This Britax Car Seat provides the utmost security in both forward and rear facing installations. The Britax Marathon has Expanded PolyStyrene (EPS) padding to protect your baby in the event of a collision. Britax convertible car seats are equipped with their patented HUGS system, which is designed to better distribute webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize the chance for the webbing's edge to load on the child's neck. The Britax Marathon provides parents with an all around top-rated car seat. However, it might be too large for compact cars. For those looking for a smaller Britax Car Seat, the Britax Roundabout is a perfect choice. It is a little smaller than the Britax Marathon, and it is designed for children weighing up to 40 pounds.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)

A rigid seat shell, deep side walls, and energy-absorbing foam lining protect your child's head, neck and body. View larger. |
 Side Impact Protection for Added Security
To keep your child safe, the Marathon Convertible includes Side Impact Protection, which is a system composed of the rigid seat shell, the deep side walls, and energy-absorbing foam lining the shell that work together to distribute crash forces, shield from vehicle intrusion, and contain the head, neck and body.Superior 360-Degree Protection to Minimize the Risk of Injury
The Marathon offers a variety of superior crash force management features to keep your child properly positioned and protected. First, the patented, energy-absorbing Versa-Tether has staged-release tether webbing, anchoring the top of the seat at two points to minimize forward movement. For growing babies, the tangle-free, five-point harness offers multiple harness heights for a snug, custom fit. For additional protection, the Harness Ultra Guard System (HUGS) reduces forward head movement, while both the EPS foam liner and base are designed to absorb energy. Superior Ease-of-Use for Safety and Convenience
Packed with perks for parents, the Marathon includes push-button lower LATCH connectors for quick, simple, and tight installation, and a front harness adjuster allows for easy loosening of the straps. Built-in lock-offs secure the vehicle seat belt and prevent the car seat from moving more than one inch side-to-side and front-to-back at the belt path. A small contoured base ensures a tight installation in all types of vehicle seats, while convenient holders keep harness straps out of the way while you're placing your child in the seat. The Marathon Convertible Car Seat is available in the following patterns: Cowmooflage, Mariposa, Mossy Oak Limited Edition, New Denim, and Onyx. The Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty. What's in the Box

 Beautiful August 25, 2010

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.

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!)
