      • Britax Marathon 70-G3 - Chili Pepper


        The Britax Marathon 70-G3 convertible car seat is designed for children rear facing from 5 to 40 pounds and forward facing from 20 up to 70 pounds. The Marathon 70-G3 achieves revolutionary head safety through the use of Britax SafeCell Technology in the base, integrated steel bars, and energy absorbing Versa-Tether that work together to minimize head excursion and reduce the risk of head injury during a frontal impact. The Marathon 70-G3 also incorporates Britax Side Impact Protection, offers a no-rethread and quick-adjust five-point harness, multiple buckle and recline adjustments, and an easy-remove cover that also allows access to belt paths from the front of the seat. A head and body pillow is provided for extra comfort and infant positioning.

        Recommended Age:Newborn, Baby, Toddler

        Features:

        • EZ-Buckle System retains the harness buckle in a forward position and prevents the child from sitting on the buckle when boarding
        • Base with SafeCell Technology features SafeCells designed to compress in a crash, significantly lowering the center of gravity and counteracting the forward rotation of the child seat which normally propels the child toward the front 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 staged-release tether webbing to slow the forward movement, reducing the crash forces reaching the child, and a two-point attachment to minimize forward rotation while anchoring the top of the child seat
        • Side Impact Protection comprised of deep side walls lined with energy-absorbing EPP foam distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, and contains the head, neck and body
        • Tangle-Free, Five-Point Harness distributes crash forces across the strongest parts of the body and provides a secure fit
        • Harness Ultra Guard System (HUGSG+ñ+¦) provides resistance to forward movement in the event of a crash
        • 70-pound Weight Capacity for safety and comfort as your child grows
        • Rear and Forward Facing Recline for child comfort and positioning
        • High Density Comfort Foam provides an extra layer of padding to gently cushion your child
        • Plush, Easy-Remove Cover with matching comfort pads and infant body pillow to provide extra comfort and easy cleaning without disassembling or uninstalling the child seat
        • Two Buckle Positions for your growing child
        • Infant Positioning Insert may be necessary for small infants to achieve a snug fit of the harness around your child (sold separately)
        • Quick-Adjust, No-Rethread Harness repositions the harness shoulder height without disassembling the harness straps
        • Premium Lower LATCH Connectors for a quick and simple installation featuring a push button for easy release
        • Built-in Lock-Offs ensure a snug lap and shoulder belt installation with minimal effort
        • Anti-Slip, Contoured Base grips and protects the vehicle seat while offering optimum vehicle fit
        • Harness Holders keep harness straps pulled to the sides when placing your child in the car seat
        • Certified for Aircraft Travel

        This is my third Britax purchase and i love it. I have 2 toddlers and we travel in the car alot. I have 2 in my car and 1 for my husband's car. The seats fit great in my Nissan Altima, one on both sides. we found it easy to install and was able to adjust the straps for comfort. The color is great. I also love the Cowmooflage. I did alot of research and love Britax for all its safety features. Would definetley recommend for a toddler.

          Comments about Marathon 70-G3 - Chili Pepper:

          I got this carseat installed at the LAPD seatcheck inspection station. And they (the real experts when it comes to everything carseat) told me MANY times what a great carseat it was! So many user friendly and safety features such as sliding harness adjustment to fit the child's size, built-in lock in feature, rubber lining at the base to prevent slipping of the carseat from the seat, etc etc (lots of jargons to me but they truly approved).
          Our 5 month old baby sat on it, fit snugly and comfortably and fell asleep as soon as I started the car. The vibrant and beautiful red color is an added bonus~

            I dont love the velcro on the sides of the harness. Ruined a pair of pants on their first wear. :( I like everything else though!

              I did lot of research before I settled on this Britax seat. When i saw it on sale here on Diapers.com, i went ahead and bought it. For the money it seems to be the safest seat out there! That makes me feel so much better as a mom!
              And it does feel very sturdy, thanks to the metal frame, the tether straps. As a mom, i also love the removable, easy-clean fabric. I love the red color, too! I didn't want the black seat (since i read somewhere that the black 'jet' fabric contains more 'chemicals')

              Granted, we havent used the seat much yet, but so far, it lives up to my high expectations. Yes!!

              Britax is very easy to install in the car and easy to strap baby in. It's nice material, feels sturdy, looks attractive. It is large. I think it works best in bigger cars or at least ones with more head space when rear facing (RF). It is a tight squeeze (RF) when placed behind passenger seat in a 2005 subaru forester, and awkward to get baby in and out. However, in a hyundai elantra (2005) it fits great. I think it would work great in the middle of the backseat. Overall, we are pleased with it.

              I love this car seat and my baby looks like she feel comfortable in it. She out grown her infant car seat and usually cry if we put her in it but with this one, she is happy and chilling. Love the material. Very affordable. Love the color.
