Britax Marathon 70-G3 Convertible Car Seat, Onyx

Customer Reviews. Researching car seats is HELL! but worth it, right? Britax wasn't on my list for awhile due to the cost but after months of researching different convertible seats, this one won out. My priorities were safety, extended rear-facing capabilities, and ability to fit in my small car (ford focus). We used the Chicco Keyfit 30 until my baby out grew it and I was afraid that this wouldn't fit but now I have more room than before. Even with the Marathon fully reclined, both the front seats can be completely pushed back without a problem (with the car seat in the center position). It took my baby a couple of weeks to get used to it but now that she has, she loves it. I have peace of mind using the Latch system which clicks into the bottom positions of the seat plus has a tether strap so that it clicks into the top Latch as well even when rear facing (normally you'd have to be forward facing for this). The frame is metal and the seat has a lot of cushion. I spent a lot of time feeling seats in the store and you'd be surprised how many of them feel hard. I plan on using this seat until my baby requires a booster. I'm so glad that I spent the extra cash for this seat. It's very sturdy and stylish.

Product Description The Britax Marathon 70-G3 convertible car seat accommodates children rear facing from 5 to 40 pounds and forward facing from 20 up to 70 pounds. The Marathon 70-G3 is purposefully designed and engineered to minimize the forward movement of your child's head during a frontal impact to reduce the risk of head injury with the following revolutionary Britax head safety technologies: base with safecell technology designed to compress in a crash, significantly lowering the center of gravity and counteracting the forward rotation of the child seat. Integrated steel bars strengthen the connection to the vehicle and reduce forward flexing of the child seat during a crash. Energy absorbing versa-tether features a two-point attachment and staged-release tether webbing to slow the forward movement and reduce the crash forces reaching the child. The Marathon 70-G3 also incorporates Britax side impact protection to contain the child and protect from the most severe types of crashes. The five-point harness is tangle-free with an fez-buckle system to retain the harness buckle in a forward position and harness holders that keep harness straps pulled to the sides to make boarding quick and hassle-free. Other features include a no-rethread harness and an easy-remove cover that also allows access to belt paths from the front of the seat, while the multiple buckle and recline positions, comfort pads, and infant body pillow provide premium comfort and positioning.
