Britax Marathon Clicktight Convertible Car Seat: Keep Your Child Safe and Comfortable on the Road

Kat: I tried so many car seats and either returned or resold them. This one is fantastic and I will forever stick with Britax. This was so easy to install which was the most important part since we sometimes have to swap vehicles. It was also so much more secure. In two years I have been in two accidents caused by someone not paying attention, failing to yield and pulling into the line of traffic (aka me) so I was probably even more over the top picking a seat. Every car seat I would tighten and tighten and still feel like it wobbled too much. This thing doesn't move at all. It's comfortable and the straps are a much better material vs other seats, they pull tight so easily. I will say if you have short fingers it might be hard to reach the release, I have freakishly long fingers so it's just fine for me. Now if they would just make a rotating version we would have the perfect seat.

David: I can probably come back and drop a more thorough review later but on a whim, I can say these things,
Pros:
-It is easy to install, like super easy, it should never take more than a minute to buckle in. I currently have mine rear facing still, so I can’t speak too much on forward facing, but it looks like a similar process.
-There are a lot of adaptions to cater to different aged/sized toddlers.
-it is appealing and soft, very high quality.

Cons:
-Biggest issue so far is that it is a bit difficult getting the baby in and out of the car seat. I have a 2016 model Jeep Cherokee and it’s just a little to tight of a space, I end up breaking a sweat in the morning getting the baby in/out the car. It’s the size of the padding by the head, it is just not the easiest to navigate around.
-I can’t compare to other car seats, but this is one pretty heavy and bulky, it sucks moving it from car to car. This is seperate from installing, the install is super simple, but moving it around is tough.
-if you dont pay attention, it is easy to ignore how the straps sit on baby. I noticed the straps start falling off the shoulders of baby. I lifted...

Samara: Cómoda, fácil de instalar y de limpiar. Afortunadamente no la hemos probado en cuestión de seguridad, pero se ve resistente.

NatelynVillalobos: I feel good knowing my son is safe in this car seat. He is 8mo now but at his 6mo he was already 30in long. Companies need to easily show their max length not just weight! It’s challenging finding that info!! Anyways, he’s a tall boy and we needed a special rear facing seat for his length. I’m glad we got this one.

Pros: EASIEST and most CONFIDENT securing system, easy seatbelt, easy headrest adjustment, clear recline level, nice design, heavy duty, easy to remove cushions for cleaning, very cushioned for his comfort and great RANGE for MAX LENGHT AND WEIGHT for both rear and front facing so we can use this for a long time!

Cons: while being rear facing it’s difficult to adjust the recline position bc your hand gets stuck between your car and the carseat, it’s heavy to carry from one car to the next.

Side notes: the securing is great but I had a hard time at first preventing the seat from lifting on one side bc it was too tight on the other side. My problem/solution was to not to enable the safety lock (from your car belt) until AFTER you’ve closed and secured your carseat. Then when it’s where you want it, pull your seatbelt...

Lucio Vazquez: No tengo quejas con este producto . Comparando la calidad de materiales con su competidor Chicco les puedo decir que Britax es considerablemente superior.

Posiblemente la seguridad provista es similar a Chicco . Usabilidad es muy buena , el sistema click tight es facil de usar. El valor agregado son los materiales.

bob: So I bought this because I read some good reviews, installed it, and was totally happy with it ... and THEN, I bought a second convertible car seat, which also had good reviews (but was much cheaper), and that's when I found out what it's like to install MOST car seats. Holy crap! Now I have seen what the other side is like.

It turns out that the hard part of installing a convertible car seat is not figuring out where to route the belt... instead, the hardest part is TIGHTENING the belt sufficiently to allow it to hold this rather LARGE device stationary. How tight does the belt need to be? It needs to be INCREDIBLY tight -- tight enough to compress the car seat against your upholstery. For most car seats, finding a way to achieve the requisite level of tightness takes a LOT of struggling, experimentation, and weird bodily contortions. This is true regardless of if you use a car seat belt or the LATCH (a.k.a. ISOFIX) system to secure your car seat -- you gotta pull HARD, and you gotta pull in exactly the right direction, and you gotta do it all while pressing down on the car seat itself to compress the upholstery underneath. I'm 6 feet tall and...
