Britax Marathon - Convertible Car Seat - CLOSEOUT

 Britax Marathon - Convertible Car Seat - CLOSEOUT Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat The standard length for a marathon is 26.2 miles. The Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat will cover more than 100 times that distance. This durable, long lasting convertible car seat is one of the most functional car seats to ever hit the market. A little bit larger than other Britax Car Seats, the marathon is legendary for safety and comfort. The shell of the car seat is a little bit bulkier than others and parents should allow for about 31 inches of seat space when used rear facing. Some of the unique features on the Britax Marathon include a five point polyester harness with no tangle polyester webbing, which is certainly standard on most baby car seats. It also features built in lock-offs for the car’s seat belts and a push button LATCH system with versa tether. This Britax Car Seat provides the most security in both forward and rear facing installations. Now, the Britax Convertible Car Seat has Expanded PolyStyrene to increase available shoulder width room. EPS foam also helps soften a blow to the head in collisions. Britax convertible car seats are equipped with their patented HUGS system. It is designed to better distribute webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize the chance for the webbings edge to load on the child’s neck. The Britax Marathon provides parents with an all around all-star car seat. However, it may be too large for some vehicles. For those looking for a smaller Britax Car Seat, the Britax Roundabout is a perfect choice. It is a little smaller than the Britax Marathon as it holds up to just 40 lbs
Customer Review: Great Product; Outrageous Price
This is a great seat, but the price on this site is $200 more expensive than the manufacture’s recommended price. This is either a really bad typo, or highway robbery. Buy from someone else.

Customer Review: How to wash a Britax Boulevard car seat cover
Washing and reassembling Bouevard car seat is a nightmare! My baby threw up in the car and it is hand wash only, drip dry, do not machine wash & dry or else.

To unassemble, first remove the harness straps from the shoulder slots; then gently take off the cover from the headrest, putting the EPS and foam inserts aside; finally, remove the car seat cover. Don’t try to take off the cover if the headrest isn’t removed as it won’t come off easily.

I washed it in Woolite in a large sink, then rolled it up in a towel to take out the excess water, and hung it up to dry. A day later, it was dry, but putting the car seat back together was like a puzzle. Unfortunately, the instructions just say “put cover back on” with no tips at all of how to do it without going nuts.

The car seat has a headrest that’s independent of the shell, with EPS foam lining that you have to be careful not to break. After many failed attempts, as the cover doesn’t stretch and the headrest will break if you try to bend it, I realized that if you slide the cover gently over both wings at once (sort of like putting your pants on both legs at once), and then wrap the fabric cover around the top, it’s easy and you won’t break the headrest. I had a few tense moments thinking that Britax has to sell replacement parts, as the EPS foam is very easy to damage if not done this way (Huge hint to Britax - clearer instructions?) You have to put the headrest contraption on before putting the harness straps back into the shoulder slots - I forgot and had to redo the whole process.

Threading the harness through the fabric cover was also nearly impossible. You’re not supposed to remove the components of the harness, and you don’t have to either. It’s easy if you just take out the harness strap out from the top slot of the grey rubber holder (leaving it threaded through the bottom slot), enough to slide the chest clip up a little bit beyod the rubber part. Put each part individually through the fabric cover’s slot (chest clip, rubber thingie folded in half lengthwise, buckle with the metal tip first). When you’re done, you slide the chest clip down again on the strap and rethread the strap through the top slot of the rubber holder. The Marathon is similar in case you ever need to wash it.

Then you rethread the shoulder staps through the back, making sure the straps are not twisted and that it’s well secured to the metal yoke in back.

Half an hour later, though, and I’m done reassembling, and the cover came out fine without shrinking or fading. But I understand now why Britax sells replacement covers and why you shouldn’t feed a baby before you put them in a car seat.

Other than this it’s a great car seat though, completely agree with the pros and cons of the previous reviewer. This car seat fit great in a Honda Accord.

Britax Marathon Car Seat- Brooke

 Britax Marathon Car Seat- Brooke Customer Review: Love it!!
I have this car seat for my 3 year old daughter and she loves it. It’s very sturdy,stable, and safe. It’s worth every penny and I plan on passing it on to our 4 month old as soon as she outgrows the baby carrier. Our 3 year old will be moved up to the Britax Regent Madison as soon as it’s avaliable. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for and the price may be a little steep ($269) but you are getting a great seat.

Customer Review: Safe, comfortable, perfect for my big “little” one
My 8 month old had outgrown his infant car seat at 4.5 months of age, and we were desperate for a convertible car seat that would be safe, but also grow with our very large boy! We love this seat and can’t be without it. We travel often, and have borrowed or rented other carseats (both were well-regarded brands)on a couple of occasions. They felt flimsy, unsafe and uncomfortable after our being used to Britax. It may be pricey, but for all the $$ spent on our child, this seems to be some of the wisest. We did so much research to make sure our car was safe, and this seems like such a small amount to improve on that even further. I can’t say enough about it–If I could give 6 stars, I would.

Britax Parkway Booster Car Seat Brownstone

 Britax Parkway Booster Car Seat Brownstone Britax International has been manufacturing innovative, industry-leading child products for over three decades. Their dedication to safety, comfort, and convenience is apparent in every aspect of this functional and fashionable booster seat. Parents will love being able to effortlessly secure their child in the car and the peace of mind that comes with Britax’s renowned attention to safety standards. Children will love that the Parkway is comfortable from day one, adjusts to stay that way, and has amenities just for them.

Before we get into the features of the Parkway, it should be noted that booster seats are meant to be used with standard, factory-installed lap and shoulder belts in your vehicle. Booster seats do not use LATCH or any other tether system, but are secured by the child’s weight and a properly buckled seatbelt. The Parkway is meant to give occupants a “boost” so that the car’s seatbelt can sit safely across their torso.

Safety first is a good rule of thumb, and one that Britax certainly heeds. The belt-positioning Parkway booster seat was designed for increased safety, incorporating deep torso and adjustable height head support. The multi-position headrest is simple to work with only one hand and allows the seat to grow with your child, up to 60″ tall. Your child is too tall for the Parkway once the tops of their ears are above the top of the fully raised headrest.

The Parkway also features Britax-engineered True Side Impact Protection. It has been confirmed through rigorous side impact sled testing to better contain a child in dangerous, side-impact crashes. The reinforced headrest is lined with EPS foam to absorb energy, and its design cradles the child’s head to keep it away from protruding parts and minimize and cushion violent side to side movements. The Parkway meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213, a set of strict standards to which child restraint systems must adhere.

With safety clearly taken care of, Britax moved on to comfort and convenience features. The Parkway’s seat shape correctly positions the lap belt over your child’s pelvis while the color-coded belt guides keeps the vehicle’s belt comfortably away from their neck. The plush fabric seat cover is removable and washable, and comes in a range of colors and patterns. Drink and snack trays are easily accessible. The reclining backrest allows your child to be in ultimate comfort on long trips or when sleeping. The base of the booster seat is contoured and slip-resistant, providing additional peace of mind. When empty, the Parkway weighs a mere 10 pounds, making it a cinch to move between vehicles when necessary.

Customer Review: Britax really is the best!
We love this seat! We also have a Graco chair for one of our cars but this one is by far the best. The material is very plush and cushy. The head rest is the best. When my daughter falls asleep in the Graco seat her head would end up in her lap because there was no where to rest it. With the Britax this is no longer a problem. The head rest is super supportive and makes a great pillow. I cant say enough about this product. We love it. Its totally worth the extra money!
