Cheap Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat - Florida Gators, Royal Blue Cover Review
Bought this seat when my son was 1 yr old but not heavy enough to be turned around facing front (20 lbs.). He was long and leggy so I needed something bigger than what I had (something that came with a stroller).
Used the Latch and tether until he exceeded the weight limit for latch (42 lbs. according to the manual)(now using seat belt/tether as directed). Still using this seat- my son is 7 and a half. We love the harness, it protects him better! He sits higher so he can see out. The seat cover comes off and is completely washable. During the time we've had this there was a recall on the strap between the legs that tightens the shoulder straps and we received it in the mail with complete and easy to follow directions to fix.
Read the manual and register your product.
This is the Mercedes (*TM) of car seats! Exceeds US and European safety standards!
At the time this was a bit of an extravagant purchase but well worth it!! It has lasted us this long!
Everything that touches your child is removable-and washable. It's a bit complicated getting it all back together. If you aren't comfortable- take the cover off and put it in the shower and hose it off....straps and all. Soap and water the juice/food/yuck stains.
Really! Bought this April 2003 and still using it (one child)! It's pristine!
