Britax Marathon 70 Convertible Car Seat- Onyx

This car seat is AMAZING. I am so glad I spent the extra money and bought it! I had originally bought the Safety 1st car seat, and all I will say about that one is that I did not like it and had to return it. I did so much research and asking around for the best possible car seat and the Britax Marathon was perfect! It is soooo comfortable, just like a baby lazy-boy! LOL.... the cow print is so adorable and so gender neutral so I'm very glad I went with it. It reclines (unlike a lot of other car seats), and it's just perfect. I haven't had any problems with it, and my daughter is very comfortable and happy :)

I have a mid size sedan and this seat just barely fits in the rear facing position. It is not very easy to get my LO in and out of the car but I am hoping that will change once she meets the weight requirements to sit front facing. That said, the seat was easy to install and the straps adjust well. The fur can get a little hot for LO when it's warm outside, but she is snug and happy riding around.

Product is pretty easy to install. We love the fabric and look of the car seat. It is perfect for our 10 month old and will allow him to grow into it.
We had a tear on our seat when we received it, so I immediately emailed customer service. Within hours, I had a response saying they would send a new cover if available, or replace the entire car seat. Great customer service and I would highly recommend this sight and seat to friends.

We have this seat for two years now and we love it. Very easy to adjust straps so everytime I am buckling my son I can adjust it depending on what he is wearing that day to make belts tighter or looser. We also used it on the plane but it is too heavy to travel with and there was nothing to hold it by which made our trip on the airport very difficult. However I highly recommend it for a car.

I love this seat. we have 2 of them and wouldn't have anything else. My oldest started hating the carriers when she was about 3 months old. So we switched her over without any concerns for her size. It fit her perfecly.

Purchased two Marathon 70 car seats for my twin daughters. After using Peg Perago infant seats, the Britax seat adjustments were clearly inferior. The chest/shoulder restraining straps jam frequently. The straps twist and jam behind the seat and the seat must be removed to clear the jam so the shoulder straps can again be adjusted properly. In addition, it is very difficult to adjust or release the bottom straps holding the car seat to the vehicle seat hooks. This becomes more problematic since we have to remove the seat frequently to unjam the shoulder straps. The red release button on the bottom strap is pretty much disfunctional. Easy to tighten, very difficult to loosen. Very disappointed in the quality of the product and ease of use.

We love this car seat and our little baby boy seems a whole lot happier since we've started using this instead of the temporary infant-only car seat we'd gotten (which we'd only gotten really because we weren't super comfortable with whether he'd fit in this one when he was a tiny NB - the only downside, I'd say). We did buy a head positioner for him (started using this Britax car seat when our son was 3 months old) but with that he fits like it was made just for him.

One mistake we did make was buying the Britax infant positioner - even with this his head would flop down when he was too tiny, so we didn't end up using it. Oh well, lessons learned.

Really glad we decided on this brand/model - oh and it fits in my 2009 Toyota Corolla easily rear-facing in the center of the backseat. If we were to have another child though, we'd probably have to either rethink the seat or get a bigger car.

Super comfortable car seat! My baby 14 month in love with this car seat! I'll recomended this car seat to all my friedns. Lil bit expensive, but it cost every penny you're pay for it!

Love this car seat!! My folks bought these for our 15 month old twin girls. We had Graco infant seats prior. Britax is the BEST!! Durable, secure, comfortable and great design! I immediately feel in love with the cow print...after my folks ordered I got a little nervous about the white fabric and kids. Luckily when we opened the boxes we found they have a tan color mixed in as well. For added security I sprayed all of the fabric surfaces with scotch guard. So far SO great!!! The one downfall, they are cumbersome to install...but I left that up to my hubby ;)

THIS IS THE BEST CAR SEAT. A MUST!

My husband and daughter were in a car accident on 12/6/2011, and this car seat saved my 1 year old daughter's life. They were hit while at a complete stop on the highway by a SUV going 55mph. Luckily, no one was hurt in the accident and my daughter was not even phased by the impact because of the sturdy build of her Britax Marathon. If it hadn't been for this seat, she very well could have been hurt or killed...I will never again buy any seat other than Britax for my kids! I would reccomend this to everyone, it is GREAT!

This seat is perfect! I have no complaints!

This is the best car seat out there. I tried Sunshine Kids booster seat and I am so upset. I love Britax and I am now getting a Britax booster seat. My daughter is very tall and lean. She started using this car seat at 8 or 9 months. We used it rear facing until 15 months because she is so tall. It works well both ways. I feel very safe with her in it. It is easy to take out and clean, it is not too heavy but very sturdy.

We love this carseat. It is very safe yet super comfortable and stylish. We have the blueprint pattern. Our 10 month old son seems very happy in it.

I use this car seat for my 10 month. She looks very comfortable in the car seat. We were looking a all 3 Britax (Marathon 70, Blvd 70, and Blvd 70 CS). We finally selected the Marathon 70 bc you dont really need the extra features from the other seats.
