Reviews for Britax Marathon convertible car seat

The Britax Marathon is wonderful! I am so glad I purchased it when I did! My little girl was 6 months old when I got it and she was so much more comfortable in it rather than her carrier car seat! It is so cute, too...we got the cowmouflage! I also love how secure the seat straps in. I feel really safe with her in this seat. I can't wait to turn her around!

We purchased a Britax Decathlon for our daughter two years ago. Last summer, the harness adjuster seperated from the carseat. We sent the seat back to Britax and they fixed it without charge (even though we were a few days out of the 1-year warranty period). We subsequently purchased a Marathon for our second child. Having had both, the Marathon superior to the Decathlon - it is just easier to use. Specifically, the harness adjustment mechanism on the Marathon is much easier to use than the one on the Decathlon. If you are debating between the two seats and, like us, are drawn to the Decathlon for the extra padding, buy the Marathon and purchase a separate insert (we bought a Body Support from JJ Cole). Here is is, summer one year later, and darned if we didn't have the same problem with the Decathlon. I called Britax, and without hesitation the customer representative offered to replace the defective seat with a new one - of any model. Needless to say, we went with a Marathon. Britax provides a superior product with outstanding customer support. I would recommend them to anyone.

Locks in very securely, which is a pleasure after the wobbly Graco infant seat.

I have had a few car seats and the Britax Marathon is by far superior to any others i've tried. My son sleeps more comfortably and his head does not fall forward like it did in his last seat. The padding is just right and the seat is great for long car rides. In addition, Elite Car Seats is a top notch company-excellent customer service!!

When my twins were 9 months old, they were already too big for their infant seats. I had purchased Marathons for my husband's car a few months ago, and my twins were so comfortable, I replaced the infant seats in my car with Marathons. Yes, you got it right, I bought 4 Marathon seats in 2 months, and we use them rear-facing.. why? because they were easy to install, have soft comfortable covers, and comfortable padding. Hopefully we'll be able to use these until they start kindergarten

This is a great carseat. This is my second purchase...as my 3 year old is still in this carseat (30 pounds). I now have my 7 month old in this carseat facing reverse. (20 pounds). Both of them are the cowmouflage pattern. It is great for a girl or boy and hides dirt well.

Wanted the safest and best car seat for our daughter and we found it. She enjoys car rides now and we enjoyed the ease of installation and comfort in knowing how safe these seats are. Really great investment.

I ordered this seat last Wednesday and received it 3 days later! I called in my order and the lady was very helpful! I ordered the All Star Blue Marathon and absolutely love it! It's not as bright blue as the picture, but still looks great! My 13 month old son is so comfortable. We still have him rear-facing (since that's safer) and the seat was a breeze to install! Would recommend this seat and website to anyone!
