The Britax Marathon Car Seat

An enduring classic, the original Britax Marathon car seat has helped set the standard not only for all other Britax seats, but for best practices in safety and design worldwide. When choosing any car seat, you want to be sure it fits the needs of both you and your child. Here are a few things you may want to keep in mind when considering whether or not the Britax Marathon seat is a good match for you.

Height & Weight Limits
The Britax Marathon car seat is a convertible seat, which means you can use it for both infants as well as older kids, and over a longer period of time. The Britax Marathon seat is for use rear-facing for children 5 to 33 pounds and forward-facing for children 20 to 65 pounds. It seats children up to 49" tall. This seat is truly designed to grow with your child! But if you do not anticipate needing such a large-capacity car seat, then you may also want to consider a compact convertible like the Britax Roundabout seat, which offers many similar features to the Marathon.

Product Features
The generous capacity, comfort, and essential safety features of the Britax Marathon car seat makes our best-selling Britax seat at KidSurplus.com. It's everything you need in a standard-sized convertible seat, and at a price point that truly can't be beat. However, the Britax Marathon seat also doesn't come with as many bells and whistles as some of its comparable sister seats, such as the Boulevard (enhanced with True Impact Side Protection and other options), or the Decathlon (an ultra-luxe seat that's full of extra comfy features for your little one).
