I researched for about six months. I have only used britax carseats. This is great for safety and lifespan. If you do not use the lath system and are used to the marathon this will be different for you. I do not use the latch because my odyssey has a weight limit. The seatbelt is difficult to install. Overall, this is an excellent seat. Btw my child is 5 1/2 and still in the five point harness. That was the main reason for choosing this seat.
Pros
  • Five point harness weight limit
Best Uses
  • Toddler or young child
Cons
  • Seat belt installation for five point harness

This is a seat we had for our older son and ordered this one for our second son who just turned four. The seat is great, very sturdy and my older son likes it. The 5 star review is for Albee Baby because ordering was a breeze, and the item arrived two days earlier than expected. They had the best price (by more than $45) and shipping was free.

Excellent car seat, even better on sale!

I bought this car seat after looking into the Graco Nautilus. I was looking for a seat that would allow my son to stay in a harness as long as possible, and then move to the two boosters. The Graco, though it appeared to be a reasonably priced and meet our needs, had a crotch strap that already appeared to be too close to my son. It wouldn't have been too long before he outgrew the harness. Therefore, we continued to search for seats with an additional crotch strap location. The Britax appears to be the only seat with this room. We looked into the lower cost model, but read the advantages to this model, including FAA approval, higher weight rating, and minimal cost difference. We bought this car seat 1 month ago, and our son appears to be comfortable in the seat. We will be taking our first extended trip in the next week.
Pros
  • Additional locations for crotch strap.
Cons
  • High cost if not on sale.

We moved our daughter up from her previous 4 in 1 Britax. She loves this seat especially the cup holders. She sleeps comfortably and it installed in a snap in my Acadia. So easy.
Pros
  • Easy to install
  • Cup Holders
  • Cushions are comfy for sleeping

Great car seat
July 5, 2013
Overall, a great car seat. Although designed for children as they become taller and heavier, you have extra peace of mind since it is a 5-point harness. We are still using it as a car seat for our 6 year old - she's a little on the shorter side of the spectrum. Note, this car seat is fairly bulky and heavy, since it is a combination car seat. The bulk is in the back of the seat so it extends a bit off of the front of the car bench seat. Also of note is that it is really designed for cars that support the LATCH system - for those cars that do not support the LATCH system, you will have to use the locking clip (need to contact Britax to obtain one). The locking clip mechanism for installing this car seat is much more challenging than using the LATCH system.
Pros
  • 5-point harness for the full car seat
  • Transitions to a booster
Best Uses
  • Transitioning children to a larger car seat, but still has the 5-point harness.
Cons
  • Bulky and heavy
  • Relies on locking clip for installing into non-LATCH cars

I love this car seat my son is taller than average and fits in it perfectly, the only complaints that I have about this seat,is the fabric comes loose from bottom of seat shell and its hard to install .... I would recommend this seat to anyone
Pros
  • The seat fits my son who's taller than average and is a safe car seat , also love the cup holders built in.
Cons
  • Hard to install and fabric comes undone on bottom of seat shell really annoying and won't stay on the little hooks to hold it down...

Great seat, big and sturdy, don't feel that my 5 yr old will outgrow it anytime soon. Sometimes hard for himto buckle bottom crotch straps, but it might just need an adjustment on my part.Was worried color would be too light, but it's not, lots of dark fabric too. Great seat, would recommend. 2nd seat bought from Albee, fast and great service!!
Pros
  • Latch instillation
  • 5 pt harness
  • Compfy seat
Cons
  • Not a seat you went to switch between cars

I love their theory about easy installation and they didn't disappoint with this seat. It was easy to set up for my daughter, simple to install and she loves sitting in it. It is our secondary seat, but will be the final car seat purchase we have to make. Thanks to Britax and Albee Baby for another great experience and product.
Pros
  • Easy to set up
  • Easy to install
  • Comfortable for child

I have been looking for a harness booster for a while and checked the reviews. Delivery was fast and our toddler imediately went to sleep on the first long ride staying upright and comfortable.
Pros
  • Easier to keep the straps from twisting
Cons
  • Price is higher than most harness boosters on the market

Britax seats are easy to work with and have great features, not to mention being such highly rated for safety.
Pros
  • Safety, creature features, ease of use
Cons
  • Still a bit too bulky to fit into a regular car, but that is OK.

Always love Britax car seats. This was for our 3 year old who wanted a "big boy" seat like his brother. He's happy and enjoying his new Britax seat.

We love this car seat for our daughter. She is 4 years old and I plan to do extended 5 pt. harness until she is 7 or 8. The weight limit is high enough for us to be bale to do that. The anchors for the car are phenomenal and so easy to take off and on. We love Britax and this seat will also fit our purpose when they move to a booster. And with the extended plastic warranty we wont have to buy another car seat. The two cup holders are also a plus!The only bad thing is the elastic loops on bottom of the fabric that secure it to the plastic of the seat are too loose and often come off when our daughter slides back in it. We have the exact same seat for our older child and it doesn't have this problem and we also ordered it from Albee.
Pros
  • Anchors
  • Weight limit
  • Plastic Warranty
Cons
  • The rubber loops on bottom of the seat are too loose and often come off when our daughter slides back in it.
