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: Mariposa, Tan Swirl, Crocodile, Mossy Oak, All Star Blue, New Denim, Cowmooflage, and Granite.

 Excellent purchase! July 16, 2008
This is our 4th Britax carseat! I love it as I have loved them all. The new denim cover is well made and a great vibrant color.
A note about the price: Britax carseats are a little expensive but after researching them I believe they are well worth the money. After all, we spend thousands of dollars on our vehicles but gasp at a $300 carseat? Isn't that a little silly?
Love this car seat July 14, 2008
I wish I knew about this car seat sooner! I just switched from a rear facing car seat for my son. I love the plush padding and I had many styles to choose from. My boy loves the velvety feel and the soft blue color. It is very easy to install and stays put. The only negative thing I have to say is that the buckle between his legs doesn't move or adjust. I can see this to be slightly difficult when my son is bigger (he's only 22lbs now). Even though, it's a bit pricey, it's definitely worth it. I only wish that I had it when my boy was first born. Don't hesistate to buy, you and your little one will love it!
 Cowmooflage Britax Carseat July 13, 2008
Like all carseats, a bit cumbersome and bulky. This one is a bit large for a smaller car...it doesn't leave a whole lot of room for more than one more person in the backseat. We liked the asethetic aspects of the product + you can get your favorite team logo as a replacement after-market cover - Go Huskers!
Fantastic and easy to install July 8, 2008
Rated as one of the safest child car seats and it is extremely easy to install in a car or move to another vehicle. Instead of having the traditional latches to anchor the seat, it has modified latches with easy releases and pull straps to tighten it down.
baby+carseat=britax... July 8, 2008
i just started using this marathon for a week now for my almost 2 year old daughter, she already outgrew her britax roundabout that she had since she was 4 months, and just like the roundabout, it's so easy to set up, my baby looks comfy and happy, helps mom fasten her belt, easily sleeps and stay asleep on it, no problems at all. it would be nice if its cheaper but really- you cant put a price on your child's safety and comfort. thats why when amazon had it on sale at 249 with free shipping, i bought it right away.
