Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat - Zebra

When our first daughter, now 26 months, was too big for our graco travel system, I searched hi and low to find a car seat that would be both functional and comfortable. Most of the car seats I saw looked very uncomfortable, they lacked any amount of padding and the material seemed coarse. Then I saw our first Britax at a Babies r us store. It was beaustiful, the cover is so soft to the touch. Not to mention the fabulous patterns. This car sear has a nice amount of squish and my daughter seems to love it. This seat is also very easy to use. If you have the latch system in your and know how to buckle a seat belt you can install it in minutes. The clips that attach to the metal brackets in the car are very similar to in operation to seat belt receivers. Where other brands have a small metal lobster claw clasp which is very hard to operate. Even with out the latch it is easy to thread the seatbelt through and attach it. Another great part of the function of this seat is the completely removable seat cover that is washable. And if for some reason it does get wrecked or you decide you need a fabric change you can purchase additional covers for arounf $50. This might seem like a lot for a cover but you are already paying over $200 for the seat so its nice to know that you can change the look with out buying a whole new seat.

The bottom line was that we liked it so much for my daughter that I now have another one for my son. Well worth the investment. Check out the Britax website for more info. www.britaxusa.net
