Baby Products Reviews of Britax Marathon 65 Convertible Car Seat, Onyx
Customer Review: Wheels!
Summary: 5 Stars
We were just at the baby store to choose carseats and the Britax Marathon carseat on display had a Gogo Babyz Travelmate attached to it. It was so easy to maneuver that my 7 year old daughter wheeled her 20 pound baby sister around the aisle for fun. Two large, solid, screw-in knobs attach the Travelmate to a backplate that secures the seat. The whole combination looks very sturdy and relatively easy to use. We bought both the Marathon and Travelmate. We were looking for a better alternative to the Sit 'n Stroll. This may be it. I cannot compare the two options as I have never tried the Sit 'n Stroll, only read the so-so reviews.Customer Review: Great car seat

We've been using the Britax Marathon for about a month now and it seems to be great. It was easy to install and seems to be very comfortable. I also like how easy it is to buckle my 12m old son. One thoughtful feature is the strips of velcro that allow you to secure the straps to the side as I place my son in the seat. That way I don't have to fish the straps out from underneath him. The only problem was that the straps that are used to secure the car seat to the car were installed backwards by the manufacturer. My husband was able to fix it in about an hour, but it was really frustrating. Otherwise, it's a great car seat.Customer Review: britax marathon car seat

This is our third britax purchase. We have one in each of our cars and just bought a third for my mom's car. This car seat is wonderful. My son loves it and it is easy to install. I have seen how friends car seats latch systems work, and they all wish they bought the marathon. My husband loves it too because the fire department rates it at the top for car seat safety. He is a firefighter and installs car seats all the time. This one by far gets his vote. We have our second baby on the way, due this fall and that baby will go in the marathon facing backwards. Definitely worth every penny!Customer Review: Works great so far

We got this car seat because our 6 month old son grew out of his infant car seat (22lbs). It was reasonably easy to install but it doesn't have a build in level like the infant car seat did. My wife actually brought it to the fire station to have them check it and they put a noodle underneath it to get it tilted more appropriately in the back of our Hyundai SUV.
I wouldn't recommend this for people with small cars. In rear facing mode, it sticks out well over the seat in our SUV and I don't think I'd be able to fit it at all in a smaller sedan like my Mazda 3.
Customer Review: great buy!

We are very pleased with the Britax marathon car seat. Our 10 month old was out growing her infant car seat and didn't enjoy driving until we moved her into this seat. Facing forward, and the height of the seat allows her to look out the window and enjoy the view! She's much more comfortable.
The straps and seat are easy to adjust and install, making it very user friendly (this wasn't the case with our infant seat). I strongly recommend paying the extra money--you'll be pleased with your purchase! I know we'll buy another one for our other car!
