This is a great carseat! I went through 3 or 4 carseats before I finally just purchased a Britax. I'm so glad I did! My daughter stopped fighting me on riding in the car and she even sat happily in a Britax Marathon for 4 hours on a plane! This is a heavy, large seat. But it's safe and comfortable for the kids. This seat is definitely worth what you pay for it!

Safety for my children is what I will splurge on. All our car seats have always been either Britex or ricaro. I have seen many other car seats (of friends etc) and they just don't seem as safe and secure.

We purchased this for our daughter who is now six and just loved this car seat. We are now in the market for another car seat for our soon to be one-year-old son and are considering purchasing another Britax Marathon.

I love this car seat for the safety features. I researched many seats before getting this one. It is heavy, but that makes sense that it would be for safety reasons. It is nice to be able to remove the cover and wash. Pretty easy to adjust to growing kids.

I love this seat. I got it back in 2008 when my son started to outgrow his infant carrier seat. I like that it has a bit of weight to it and has more foam then some of the other seats. The cover is soft and easily removed for washing. I like how easy it is to adjust the height of the straps and ease to buckle them. I used this seat for my son until he outgrew it for a booster seat and now I use it for my daughter. The seat is built well and is still going strong after 4 years!! I would recommend this brand and the seat for anyone looking for something sturdy and safe.

This is our second Britax Marathon car seat. it's safe, sturdy and not too difficult to install. They're not too heavy and we've even taken then on our vacations where we've had car rentals. My only complaint would be that the seat cover comes off a little too easily - it pulls back every time I put my daughter in the car, but I just pull it back over and it's in place again.

it's been a while since we need a britax, but that's what we used for our daughter. (she's now 9). we scrimped on many other things but not on the car seat. a safety expert at the hospital told us britax was the best...and it was. thank you for a great product
