Britax Marathon G4 Convertible Car Seat - Cowmooflage

I really like this seat, but after needing to wash the seat cover (which is almost inevitable with infants/toddlers), it started to immediately fall apart. I very gently washed this cover. Additionally, replacement covers are very expensive. I have been disappointed by that.

We have had the marathon now for a little over six months. I should have bought this a longtime ago. My son is almost two and only purchased it because we needed a car seat that was forward facing. I will be buying this much earlier for our next child rear facing. This car seat is very comfy and very sturdy. Easy to install. It's is bigger then most car seats but I like that because I know it's built well. Also is heavier the other car seats but again it makes me feel that the car seat is safer because it not make out of cheap light plastic.also very easy to clean and keep clean! Highly recommend this.

I purchased two of these car seats three years ago, and they have survived two boys! I am incredibly happy with both car seats and if there's ever been any issue with either of them I have called and have been assisted with exemplary customer service who fixed my needs immediately. My one son used the carseat until he was 4.5 years old and nearly 40lbs. The only reason we decided to move him to a new seat was to use the seat for our other son. I highly recommend this car seat as well as all Britax products!

We've used this product for both of our children since they were front-facing. My son is 4 years old and still has no problem fitting in the seat and he's 50% across the board on height and weight. To an earlier review complaining that her two year old couldn't fit in the seat while wearing a winter coat -- PLEASE do not strap your child in the car seat in a bulky winter coat!! It's not safe if there is too much bulk between the straps and your child. We live in freezing cold Chicago but it takes only a second to remove the bulky winter coat, strap them in, and then put a blanket over them or even their coat backwards over their arms. But I digress. Straps are super easy to adjust, without even removing the seat, and the kids have always been comfortable in them. We have a few cheaper car seats for secondary cars (i.e. grandma) and they are not as easy to tighten the straps. I also like how high the weight limit goes -- we'll be able to safely stay in these seats until booster time.

We purchased this car seat for our son when he was outgrowing his infant seat. My husband are so thankful we did. Yesterday, we were in as close to a head on collision as I ever would want to be, and our son slept through it and had absolutely no injuries. Thank you, Britax, and Thank you, God! I plan to get the exact one to replace ours since they need to be replaced after a major accident.
