Britax marathon, reviews?

So, the Britax Marathon is on diapers.com for 203 this weekend. We've been putting off buying a convertible for a while. Any one have any thoughts on the marathon? Our primary vehicle is a Honda Accord, FWIW.

Re: Britax marathon, reviews?

  • I know a lot of people love Britax convertibles. The only bad thing I have heard from what car seat techs have said is that Britax seats aren't the best for tall kids and leg room, especially if you plan to do extended rear facing.

  • We have it and I love it. it's so easy to use. it also takes up a lot less room then our infant seat did.

     I know a lot of people talk about how short the shell is but I had DD, who's 3.5 and 50-60% for height sit in it and she still had an inch above her head on the shell, meaning we would just now need to turn her around in it.

  • Thanks everyone. The other seat we were looking at is a recaro, which apparently is even worse for erf'ing. I think I'm going to go for it at that price.
