The Britax Marathon 70 Convertible Car Seat is all in all one of the best car seats I have found to put my children in. The overall design is both extremely safe and comfortable for the child. If I have one complaint it would be that the Britax is a bit difficult to install into the car.
The Good:
There is a lot of good about the Britax Marathon. First, it is very well made and gives the parent a sense of security just by looking at it. By well made I mean that the material is of above average quality and quite rugged. Not only is the Britax Marathon well made it is also very safe and has one of the industry's highest safety ratings. It is nice to be able to drive down the road and feel a sense of security for your child. Finally the Britax is very comfortable for the young one sitting in it. While this may seem a minor consideration when it comes to car seats but if you have ever driven several miles with a baby crying because their seat was uncomfortable, you know that comfort is important.
The Bad:
The only bad thing about the Britax Marathon is the fact that it can be a bit difficult to install in the car. The Britax Marathon comes with directions for putting the car seat in the car, but they make the process look much simpler than it is. The good news is that once you get used to how to get the Britax into the car, it becomes much easier if you ever need to switch between cars.
In the end, I would highly recommend the Britax Marathon to any parent looking for a car seat. It is well made, safe, and comfortable.
