Britax Marathon CS

Friday, September 18, 2009 Posted by Felicia

Car seat safety is definitely not something to compromise on. We actually had the car seat conversation with some close friends of ours who were looking for a good option when their little girl out grew her infant car seat. There are so many choices out there that it can become overwhelming looking at the sea of car seats. There are also several great options to choose from depending on what is important to you. If you are looking for ease of use, style, and comfort Britax is a great option.

We were sent the Marathon CS to check out and love the roominess of it and all of the safety features! Here are some of the great features that the Marathon CS has to offer:




  • Holds up to 65 lbs
  • Energy absorbing base that deforms in the event of a crash
  • Plush padding (softest car seat we have ever used)
  • Small contoured base that makes installation easy
  • Harness holders that keep straps to the side when putting child in seat (sanity saver)
  • Built in Lock-offs (seat will not move more than an inch side to side or front to back)
  • Harness Ultra Guard System that lessens forward head movement
  • 5 point harness
  • Forward or rear facing possibilities
  • And so much more!
The thing that most impressed me about the Marathon CS is the fact that it was probably the easiest car seat we have ever installed. Because of the way the base is made, it will fit easily in more cars than some of the other car seats on the market. I will say that it is a rather large seat and Graham's feet can touch the back of my husband's seat in our Ford Expedition (he also has long legs so his seat is back further than mine). You may want to keep this in mind if you have a very small car. You may have to install the seat in the center rather than the sides.


Britax makes a great car seat because they take into consideration the little things. The fact that they are making it easy for anyone to install a car seat correctly speaks volumes. I love the Velcro on the sides that allow you to put a squirmy or sleeping toddler into the seat hassle free. The fact that the Lock Offs are built in also adds to the ease and safety factor.

The bottom line is, if you are looking for a car seat that is easy to install, safe, and goes the extra mile, the Marathon CS by Britax is definitely a wonderful choice. You can purchase this seat for about $299.99.

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to Dana!

    I also like the blink stroller. I could use a compact lightweight stroller and this one looks great. I also like that Portable Carry Strap enables you to carry the stroller while keeping two hands free – perfect for airport travel with children and carry-on luggage!

    I like the Blink Stroller because it's compact and light (16 lbs), but it still has the 5 pt harness that full-size strollers have and it can hold up to 55 lbs, so it can last a long time.

    The Britax Chaperone full size stroller looks like another excellent product. (I like the black and white print too.)

  51. Krystyn said...

    I like the Britax Boulevard because of the extra padding. Also, the straps roll up instead of having to take the seat out to adjust it.

    I like the Regent, because my daughter is 2 1/2 and already forward facing (We did ERF her to 16 months)

    I love our Britax Boulevard and we also have a Britax Roundabout for our smaller car. The improvements they've made to this seat for such a reasonable price are awesome. Everyone should have a Britax!
