We have TWO, one for each car. They are cumbersome to move around, hence why my partner and I each have one, but they are comfortable, safe and otherwise easy to use Feb 20, 2020

Love the safety of Britax seats! So well made and they don't move at all once installed properly!!! Cleans well and holds up well! Feb 03, 2019

I love this seat for the incredible safety features! It is also very large and heavy, which is something to keep in mind if you will be using it for travel or in multiple cars. Jan 26, 2018

This is our third Britax. My husband prefers this one to our Boulevard since there’s less bulk, it doesn’t have the secondary side impact protection. Easy to install, adjust, and wash the cover. Oct 22, 2017

We love this and our son is comfortable and we know he is safe Sep 29, 2017

Did a lot of research. Found this to be the highest crash rated carseat. Easily adjustable. Snug and cushiony for little one. Wish the harness straps were longer. Jul 31, 2017

I received this car seat as a gift and it is seriously way too huge to put a newborn in it, even with an infant snuggle! We plan to use it as a second car seat once our baby is 6+mo old. Its heavy too Jun 10, 2017

One of our favorite car seats. Easy to install. Cleans up awesome. Has foam that can be broke if not careful with instal or cleaning though. Adjustments easy. Fits in most vehicles. It is heavy though May 22, 2017

Easy to get in and out when we need to travel or switch cars. Only struggled when I needed to use a lap belt. Had to watch the you tube video a few times to get it in right. May 20, 2017
Murrysville, Pennsylvania
This was not one of my favorite car seats. It's pretty wide and takes up a lot of space and the straps often get tangled or stuck. It does feel pretty sturdy but I still wouldn't recommend. May 16, 2017
Salt Lake City, Utah
I've used this carseat for 2 kids and it has held up nicely. My kids seemed comfortable and I felt they were very safe. It is a bit heavy though for travel or taking it out of the car often. May 02, 2017

We have 2 of these car seats they are that amazing. The are roomy, comfortable, but still have room in the back seat for 3 across. Love Britax! Jul 12, 2016

Ok, we currently have 6 car seats. Insane. This is our favorite convertible! We also have the Clek and the Britax Boulevard and like this one best. Jul 06, 2016

Excellent car seat. Easy install and adjustability. Jun 30, 2016
Vallejo, California
I will agree with most complaints that this car seat is quickly outgrown because the straps only go so far up. This isn't a problem for my small kids. The small base is great. No cup holder though May 08, 2016
Chicago, Illinois
Love this car seat. Seems very sturdy and safe. My daughter seems comfortable in it. Easy to install. Be aware, there is no metal ball/level for recline; this wasn't an issue for me but FYI. Apr 22, 2016

Prefer the maxi cosi pria over this car seat. Safety ratings are great but it just doesn't seem as cozy as it could be Apr 22, 2016
Ann Arbor, Michigan
This is a good car seat. I might not be all the way to love, but it's safe, reasonably decent to install, and comes in some fun colors. Apr 22, 2016

Like. I do have issue with how easily the cover is coming apart after having to wash it. The strings are pulling off. Replacing it has been hard. Seat is very safe, top priority. No cup holders bummer Feb 01, 2016
Alexandria, Virginia
Love this convertible car seat! It works well front and rear-facing, and isn't too much of a space hog in our Prius backseat. The cow print is our favorite, and the removable cover is clutch. Oct 02, 2015

The more expensive models are better. I find the straps tough to adjust, but overall a good seat. Dec 13, 2014

Owned 3 Marathons, and they fit all the children well.Easy to adjust.They are bulky. Very well padded, and the covers withstood normal kid abuse. Couldn't do 3 across, and 1 had buckle issues. Oct 17, 2014

Easy to install, easy to use, and fits into a small car with room for someone to fit in the front. Oct 06, 2014

Britax is the best car seat around! I am so glad to have this in my car for our growing boy. Sep 26, 2014
Eagle Mountain, Utah
It is a bit bulky but it's easy to move from car to car. I don't worry about it not being safe for my daughter (now if only I could afford the click tight one!) Sep 24, 2014
Delmont, Pennsylvania
Have it, just haven't used it yet. We will next summer when it's time to get out of the infant carrier. Sep 08, 2014
Nashville, Louisiana
Easy to get in and out of, easy to install. Not sure if spending this much is necessary, we do have a cheaper one in one of our cars and we like it just as well. Jul 23, 2014
Easy to clean and keeps kids rear-facing for a LONG time with plenty of leg room. My three-year-old is the size of a typical five-year-old and it's his favorite seat for long travels. –Chelsea D. Apr 03, 2014

This car seat is super safe but a total pain to use in a sedan. The straps constantly get twists. Wish I'd stuck with Chicco. Mar 29, 2014
Saskatoon, Canada
We just purchased this seat so we aren't sure yet how it will be. Baby clips in very easily and once you've figured it out, adjusting the seat to fit is not too hard. Study the manual, though!! Mar 16, 2014
I don't love this car seat, but it was the safest, best thing I could find after much research. It is just so bulky and hard to move to another car (but it seems they are all that way). Feb 03, 2014

Have been using this seat with my 9.5 month old for a month now. He seems pretty comfy in it, but the straps are slightly awkward. Overall very easy to use and install. Jan 31, 2014

We like that our seat has straps that are less likely than others to get tangled, but the straps still get tangled http://hintmama.com/2013/11/13/todays-hint-3-tricks-for-untangling-car-seat-straps/ Jan 13, 2014

I own this and really love it. You can't beat Britax for safety and it's easy to get your kids in a out of. Can be pricey though. Jan 11, 2014

This is a high quality product and I love all of the safety features. I thought it was complicated until I installed it & realized it really wasn't. We have 3 of these now! (me, husband, grandma!) Dec 30, 2013

So far so good. My son if comfortable and I found this seat highly rated and I feel as though he's safe. Dec 09, 2013

Bought 2 of these (one for our car and one for grandma's car) - baby looks comfortable and we trust the safety feature of Britax car seats! We got the 70 G3 model in Onyx. Dec 03, 2013

Suck it up, spend the $, and just get this seat. Not only does it get top safety reviews, but it will grow with your kid-- if you're not picky about colors, you can get good deals on these. Jul 03, 2013

comfortable and durable. easy to wash. Jun 26, 2013
did hours of research and ended up with this one. could not be happier. so easy to install. super safe. love. May 13, 2013

Yes, this is better for an older child. I would not recommend it for an infant. I went with the Chicco KeyFit when my son was born and switched him to the Britax Marathon when he was about 8 months or so.
Nicole C. - Nov 18, 2014
Agreed. We bought this around our son's 1st birthday and he was in an infant car seat (Graco Snugride) before then. Not ideal if you only want one car seat, but we have been more than happy with it as he grows.

Mine is in my ginormous SUV and it's great. My husband has one in his Audi sedan - it fits, and it's okay, but it doesn't leave a ton of room. That said, I LOVE this car seat - it's one of the safest on the market and when it comes to safety products for my kids, function wins every time.
Kristin H. - Mar 24, 2014
I have a VW golf so a compact car & have been VERY happy w/ this - we actually have more space issues w/ our 2nd rear facing car seat (for a baby). It's better if the passenger side front seat is not all the way back to give a little legroom for our toddler but it's fine.
Margaret P. - Mar 24, 2014
We've had ours rear-facing in a Ford Focus for about a year. It works, but agree that the passenger side front seat is pretty far up to accommodate the space. We love the seat, though, as it's very easy to use and travels well.
Michael C. - Mar 24, 2014
We have ours in a Prius. It is fine. Now with the Graco Snug Ride next to it there is no room for a third (normal sized) passenger.
Sara L. - Mar 24, 2014
I actually ended up putting this in my husband's car and got a Diono for my compact car. We have a second on the way and I wanted more space in the back seat.
Jennifer S. - Mar 24, 2014
This car seat won't do well in a compact car. I have a Kia Sorento and it takes up 1 1/4 seats. I have 2 for both of my kids and no one can ride with us. However, it's a great/durable seat.
Monique S. - Mar 24, 2014
asked by Secretly Expecting - Mar 23, 2014
This is very easy to use, if you're using the latch system or just a seatbelt securing it. My friend has the same exact one and often throws hers in my car when we go on trips, and she quickly just secures it with a seatbelt. It's not light and it's not small, so I wouldn't say it's easy to travel with, but I LOVE it and couldn't be happier with it.
