The Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat

Any discerning parent wants the best possible protection for their child when traveling in the car. On the other hand, even though safety is of primary importance, your child’s comfort should also be a determining factor in choosing a car seat. The Britax Marathon is an excellent choice when it comes to both safety and comfort.

A lot of parents fail to think about how long they will need a car seat for when they are shopping for one for their child. The Britax Marathon takes your child’s growth into account by using a larger shell than seen in most child’s car seats, allowing your child to be comfortably accommodated as they get older. This seat gives peace of mind to parents, since the seat can be used as long as is necessary.

The shell may be larger than other children’s car seats, but the Britax Marathon fits in lots of models of car and is also approved for use when traveling by air! This car seat can be installed to face the rear of the vehicle for children of 33 pounds or less and once the child has outgrown this configuration, the seat can be reinstalled facing forward; this configuration is suitable for children weighing up to 65 lbs.

Many other brands of car seat don’t have the same benefits of being adjustable to suit your child as he or she grows. The Britax Marathon can be adjusted to safely position a newborn baby, easily re-adjusted to suit a toddler and then adjusted further to accommodate a young child. At each age group, your car seat is still offering maximum comfort while giving your child the most possible protection while in the car with you.

Many car seats have straps that are either not adjustable enough or that children seem to find uncomfortable. The Britax Marathon offers adjustable shoulder straps that still offer your child the highest possible level of safety and comfort as they grow.

One feature which will be particularly welcome to parents is the Velcro strips on the sides which are used to hold back the straps as you get your child into the seat - no more struggling with straps behind your baby’s back! The straps are easily attached and detached with the Velcro strips, which makes it easier than ever to get your child safely situated in the Britax Marathon.

There are also a wide variety of different decorative covers which can be used with the Britax Marathon. You can find covers in any style or cover you need - from cheerful floral prints to solid colors which can match your upholstery. The seat of the Britax Marathon is made from a ultra soft velour-like fabric which snuggles your child for added comfort.

Parents who want to make sure that their child receives optimal protection while in their car while ensuring their comfort should consider the Britax Marathon child’s car seat.
