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!
Help answer the question about Marathon Booster
What's the best convertible carseat that can go from birth til booster?
I've been looking at the Britax Marathon, Marathon Booster does anyone else have experience with it?Note that I am NOT looking for a travel system or infant carrier. I really want one that just stays in the car, and will last from newborn til big enough for a booster.

How lucky could one be??? Best car seat around to keep my little one safe and the Gators to go along with it! this seat is hard to find but SO worth it!
So far I love this car seat and so does my son. He is still sitting facing backwards waiting to turn one. He is a large boy, and I needed to upgrade him from his infant seat at a little over six months of age. He was much happier in his new car seat than his little infant seat. He is currently about 10 months old, is 31 inches tall and weighs about 23.5 lbs. While he is still content to look backwards, I’m sure he will be happier to face forward. The belts are easy to use and it fits just fine in my vehicle, which is an SUV. I have not had any problems with the diaper area being too tight as mentioned in several other reviews of the same product without the Nebraska logo. All in all a great seat!
We purchased this car seat because of its known quality. So far it is great and I have to say i was worried about the material but my daughter loved it as soon as she sat in it. We even were thinking about taking it off and putting it in her crib so that she would sleep better.
As the wife of an Auburn grad, I’ve come to find that Auburn fans generally take their team spirit to the limit and my husband’s need of an Auburn car seat for our son is a true example. The car seat is the same as any Britax Marathon in style and function (Amazingly great carseat by the way.)
The Navy blue cover has the Auburn “AU” symbol with the word “Tigers” underneath, both in Auburn orange. I, personally, would have liked an Aubie face on there to add some kid appeal but overall, very nice. All my husband’s college friends have been very impressed with it.
