Baby Products Reviews of Britax Marathon 65 Convertible Car Seat, Onyx
Customer Review: good solid safe car seat
Summary: 4 Stars
The Britax quality shows with this car seat. It seems to be very comfortable for my little boy as he seems to fall asleep easily once settled in. It was infinitely easier to install than the Graco infant carrier base that we had. There are only two things that I don't like...the shoulder harness straps seem to twist every time and I have to straighten them each and every time I put him in the seat (of course this may be operator error) and the back of the seat if pretty tall. My son is still rear facing and I have difficulty seeing over the back of the seat to see his reflection in the mirror system we have. Otherwise I really like this seat and I like that it is going to last for a while. I think it's worth the few extra dollars for his comfort and safety.Customer Review: We wouldn't buy anything but Britax
Summary: 5 Stars
This is our second Britax carseat. We started with a Roundabout which we still use in my husband's truck. We upgraded our infant seat in my car (Pontiac Vibe) to the Marathon and it is wonderful. My daughter instantly loved it. We still have her riding backwards at 21pounds, which means we have to be a little careful putting her in only because there isn't a lot of room between the top of the car door frame and the seat but once we got the hang of it putting her in is great. She is very comfortable in the seat and rides well. We have already had to adjust the harness size due to a growth spurt. The adjustment was easy and quick. We would definately encourage others to buy as the whole family likes the seat and Britax safety record is great.Customer Review: Brittax marathon
Summary: 5 Stars
This car seat is great and lived up to all our expectations. It cost more than some others but we like it much more than a Graco that cost half as much. We wish we would have spent the extra money and gotten a 2nd Brittax instead. This car seat will suit our child longer and seems to hold him in a more comfortable position while sleeping. With the Marathon and the Graco both installed correctly, my son's head falls forward in the Graco seat as it seems to sit him slightly more upright. Very satisfied and we bought another now that we have a 2nd child. You can catch these on sale occasionally and save a few dollars off the fairly steep price so keep your eyes open if you're considering this product.Customer Review: So far so good!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had this seat in my husband's car, and so I have not used this as much as our infant seat. Now that my son is outgrowing the infant seat, I will be using it more often. I bought it for the great ratings, and the only thing I don't really get is why there is prickly velcro on the side of the straps where the baby's arms rest. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. It seems like the velcro is to hold the straps out of the way for putting the child in the seat, but when buckled, they are sitting on top of his legs.
I am also looking for a car seat stroller to fit this, and have no idea where to look! I'll post again, after I use this seat more, but so far, so good!

We received the Britax Marathon at my daughter's shower. She is now 2 and a 1/2. We liked it so much that when my son was about to turn one, we purchased another one for him. It is pricier than other more "economy" brands, but very worth it (especially the piece of mind). We chose the onyx color for both. They don't get hot in the heat like one would suspect. They keep a clean appearance even though I often hand back cookies and goldfish to keep them content on the road. Wish I could say the same for the floor mats! Again, we are very satisfied with these car seats. The children are comfortable in them and they have multiple adjustments to fit them as they grow.
