I am so sad because I have been stalking prices for a couple of weeks in hopes of a great deal for Black Friday. I was excited when I saw your post, but their prices are the same that Amazon and www.albeebaby.com have had for weeks.
Allie ~ 01/26/09 ~ 7 lbs, 9 oz ~ 20.75 in.
& Amelia ~ 03/16/11 ~ 8 lbs, 1 oz ~ 21 in.

It really depends on which one you look at. $217 for the Marathon=good deal.
I am SO torn on this! I just looked at them in person (going to order online) yesterday--- and right now for DS1 we have the Evenflo triumph --the higher end one--and love it. They all seem the same only the evenflo almost seems more comphy. GAH!!!
Jilliansdrawers.com has one of the britax carseats$100 off so it's 199. I can't remember which one but it was good from 5-80 lbs with a harness. Hope that helps u ladies.
I'm debating between the marathon and the roundabout. I'd love to hear any feedback from those who have one or the other.
I have 2 of the Classic Marathon (65lbs) and a Roundabout 50. I love them both. The MA has lockoffs, which I don't think the RA offers. The RA has 3 slots for an adjustable buckle, which the MA does not have. The MA has strap covers, which our RA did not come with. Honestly, I love them both, but I wish I would have bought a couple RAs. I got mine on super clearance for $48, and at that price, I was dumb not to buy another one.
FWIW, I think the newer RA 55 has a lower height limit than the MA. They upped the weight by 5lbs but dropped the height by 2 or 3", which doesn't make a lot of sense.
Features that I love: Velcro strips to hold the harness out of the way, rear-facing tether (only 3 companies offer this), and I love the belly pad/strap covers.

I agree...good deal, just the same price Amazon has been offering for weeks. I am hoping for an even better deal!
BTW, the Marathon 70 in Cowmooflage on Amazon is $201.
Where I don't see it!!??!!
I just checked again and it went back to $217...I swear it was $201 earlier this morning!
