The Britax carseat line is definitely the only line I would trust my child in. After reading all the reviews and safety on all car seats we started using Britax when my daughter was 3 and she is now 8. My son is now in a Britax and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants the best carseat for their child's safety. We chose the Marathon because of the weight limit being so high. We wanted our children in carseats as long as possible, with the most safe as possible carseat. It is absolutely Worth EVERY penny.

We have 2 of these carseats for our twins. They are soooo nice! Very comfortable for the kids, and very user friendly for the parents!

I wish people would be honest and not so lazy when writing a review... I have two of these seats and by no means are they lightweight! They are slightly bulky, however they are one of the safest rated seats. I did hours of research before purchasing the car seat. I not only looked at safety, but also comfort. These won out, hands down. They are a bit pricey, but you can't put a dollar amount on the safety of your child! I have also had a positive experience with customer service. In less than two years, the first seatcover's elastic was shot. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement and had me send the old one back. It has now been 4 years and the elastic is still good. I am pleased with how large the seats are and even in long car rides, there has never been a complaint about discomfort. Also, taking off the cover the first time is a bit tricky and time-consuming. I took pictures as I was taking the straps out just to make sure that I put them back together correctly. After you take the cover off a few times, it is easy. I have washed the seats in the washing machine and never have had any problems with them falling apart or looking worn out. They also have many different designs for the covers which is nice. And the person's "review" (if you can call it that) that mentioned the recall, the recall was NOT for the Marathon seat.

I love this car seat! It's very soft and sturdy!

We *love* our Britax Marathons. We take them in and out of the car constantly as we also use them for the girls' school bus and with most seats, removing and moving the seats would be a constant headache. We find it to be easy and painless. They are heavy, but it speaks to the quality of the seat. The girls love them and find them comfortable. A great value for the money as we've been using them for almost two years already and will be using them probably for another two (they're nowhere near the weight limit). Woot!

This is a great seat. We have it in our second car. It's reasonably priced and is all you really need.

We have two of these carseats, one in each of our vehicles. Have loved it since the day we installed it. Very comfortable for our 3 year old who is very tall for his age. We are expecting our 2nd child in June and I hope they don't change anything about these seats by the time the next baby needs one!!

I have this carseat in my car for my 21 month old Granddaughter when she is out with "Gabby". I feel comfortable that she is safe as we cruising along. Great product! I would purchase this again!

We put our eldest in this seat around 18 months and 3 years later, she isn't anywhere near the 40 pound limit. I can't imagine her sister will be out of hers until she's at least 5 either. They are easy to install, durable and safe. What else can you ask for?

A great carseat. For sure our favorite brand. We have used others, but definitely prefer this seat, and would recommend them to everyone!

We have 2 and love them!

I love my Britax seats. I have had 2 of them and they are worth every penny.

LOVE this carseat!!! It's pricey, but worth every penny; I know my daughter is safer in it and that makes me suggest this to every new parent I meet. My daughter also seems to be more comfortable in it than the other brand seats used by my parents and in-laws.

WORTH EVERY DIME!!!! GREAT!!!!!

Best car seat I'v ever owned. Lasts forever and is the safest out there. Worth the money!
