This is a great car seat
February 6, 2018
We have the marathon, the boulevard, and the advocate and the marathon is my favorite. The boulevard doesnt have enough padding and is way too bouncy. The advocate has way too much padding, where we had to take some of the padding out because it was just too much. The marathon is right in the middle and its perfect. Its comfortable for my daughter and she loves it. Plus it still has the click tight technology.

This is actually our second Britax Marathon ClickTight Convertible Car Seat. We wanted our second daughter to have the same color car seat as our first. We love the color, the quality and it's very easy to keep clean. I highly recommend this car seat!

Great carseat
January 15, 2018
We have owned several Britax carseats. Our first set of seats has expired from our older children (so annoying) so we needed to purchase more for our 1 year old twins. These fit easily side by side, rear facing. It is easy to adjust the straps which is important in the winter when your layers can add extra bulk. The fabric is soft and I like the extra cushion they added under the bum. The click tight option is awesome. It is easy to use and makes install less of a hassle. We don't have to move these often, but it will be easy when we do. All in all, very satisfied with this purchase.

Not a good seat for a 2012 Honda Odyssey
December 23, 2017
I bought this car seat believing it would be a great improvement from the babyseat. Unfortunately we tried to install it in the middle seat of a 2012 Honda Odyssey and not mater what we did even followed a video instruction from Britax the seat would move. We will be returning his car seat and hope we find one that is an easier install for a Honda Odyssey.

I purchased this car seat for the times I have my grandkids. I opened the box, pulled out the car seat and had it installed and secured within 5 minutes. One grandchild is forward facing and one is backward facing. Its very easy to adjust to accommodate either child.

We already have a britax click right marathon and love it, so when we needed to get a carseat for our second car, we decided to get the same exact one. We love this seat because its easy to install, has a no rethread harness, and is very safe. We are britax customers for life!

December 9, 2017
I bought this car seat to use for my granddaughter.. The appeal was the "ease" of installation. Seems I still had to sit in it and struggle to get a tight installation. My granddaughter just turned 3 and I need to raise the height--also a major factor in purchasing this seat. Well, the back will still raise but the straps are not long enough to accommodate the height. I cannot believe how short the straps must be--the troubleshooting guide says I should contact customer service about this problem. So right now I am very unhappy with this seat. I tried to open the seat to see if the straps were somehow caught somewhere but my 64 year old hands can't turn the release.

We bought one of these after having a cheaper travel convertible seat in our car for a while. This is SO easy to install with confidence, and our daughter seems really comfortable in it. I like that the seatbelt install is so straightforward, because it means we can install her seat in the middle, which is more convenient for us and safer for her.

We love Britax. This is our third Britax car seat. my youngest is outgrowing his infant car seat so we decided to transition him to the Marathon CT. He is is under two so we installed the car seat to be rear face. He really loves it. He looks really comfortable. My only complaint about this car seat is that is very heavy. Which is only an issue if you travel as often as we do. Besides that Britax car seats are fantastic.

August 16, 2017
We bought this car seat for my son a few years ago and loved it so we bought it again for my daughter. We really love these car seats. They hold up very well and the kids are very comfortable in them. My son is now 4 years old and he still fits in it great and still has plenty of room to grow. My daughter is 8 months old and she seems to like it. She sits and sleeps well in it. We are very glad we purchased this car seat.
Pros
  • This car seat is perfect for growing with the child. We love that part of the car seat.
Cons
  • The click tight is a little difficult to use. I have to have my husband close it for me. The seat belt also can get in the way when I am putting my daughter into the seat. But other than that it is a great safe car seat.

This is my second ClickTight Convertible Car Seat in Cowmooflagelove this print! Between my car and my husband's we now have 4 ClickTight seats and love them. They are very easy to install and comfortable for the kids. They do take up a bit of room when rear-facing, but that's true of any car seat. Just wish they were a little easier to clean.

A solid choice
December 21, 2016
Our new Marathon ClickTight convertible car seat is a solid choice. It's pretty easy to install as long as you don't need to take it out. I found the round click tight button that releases the seat very difficult to open once you get it in the car. Also, it was tricky put in my husband's car because of the way the seatbelt kept retracting. One other problem that's somewhat annoying is getting the straps to release, because the button to press is in a hole that you have to put your finger way down into. On the plus side, it has high safety ratings and is a beautiful car seat and very comfortable I believe for our little guy.
Pros
  • High safety ratings.
Best Uses
  • Can fit in a smaller car like a Jetta.
Cons
  • Hard to take out once you install.

Very disappointed...
November 28, 2016
I am a FTM and I did a lot of research before buying a convertible car seat for our little girl. Every review was great for this car seat, safest, most comfortable, and easy to use. So I chose this car seat for my car and my husband chose the Recaro convertible car seat for his car. I definitely chose wrong. This car seat is very difficult to use, my kiddo is not comfortable and it is very obnoxious to use. My 2 year old is big for her age but the car seat is meant to be used for kids up to 50 lbs, when my little girl was 24lbs she honestly didn't fit in this car seat. The straps do not loosen at all and constantly get stuck behind the car seat. The recaro my husband got it so easy to use and my daughter actually says that she would rather ride in daddy's car. I was hoping for my daughter to be in this car seat for a very long time since it is up to 50lbs but I am already looking into another car seat because I am so unhappy with this product.

Pain in the butt!
November 26, 2016
I've had my ClickTight for a year now an I am not happy with it. The thing is a tank. You cannot remove it with a child in it so you always have to wake up a sleeping child. It is a pain to install. If you don't have the tension of the seatbelt just right you can't close it or its too loose. You have to move it to adjust the incline so it is a guessing game based on the slope of the seat. The straps don't loosen very much so it can be irritating trying to get the child in and out while holding a toy. The padding comes off the plastic sides if you lean on it and it is a pain to reattach it.

I bought this car seat about 3 weeks ago for my 1 year old. It is sturdy and sleek in design. I love the clicktight feature! I have a Toyota corolla and I expected the fit to be snug. Surprisingly, there is more room than I imagined there would be. The straps are easy to use and operate. I did have to adjust the buckle on the bottom and after that adjustment, everything has been fabulous. I plan on buying another one for my husband's car!

Hate Installing
October 24, 2016
I have had this car seat for 11 month now and I hate it! It is so hard to install with the latch system. I have a very difficult time turning the clicktight button to get the seat to open up. We struggle with it every time. It's very hard to turn, and then it's also hard to get it to latch again once you are done installing. Right now I have to wait for my husband to get off work to see if he can turn it so I can wash the pads after a blow out. (All pads are also hand wash and air dry so it's not a fast or easy process either) The hooks for the latch system are also very basic. The regular marathon which has hooks with a release button are so much easier to use. Yes this car seat keeps my daughter safe. Yes I have read all the information on how to correctly install it. She is safe when in the carseat. But man do I dread having to ever take it out of the car ( It is also very heavy) I am really considering trying to sell it and just getting a regular Marathon like her cousins.

Love this seat
September 8, 2016
We just took the grand daughter on a 700 mile trip in this new seat and she loved it. My Son and Daughter-in-law now wish they had bought this seat. Take time to bring the seat in the house and adjust all the straps for the best fit, in the position the seat will be used (detailed instructions are provided). Then strap your baby in it and have her set in it a bit, to make sure that she is comfortable, before installing it in the car...
Pros
  • Very easy to install and remove from the car and short enough when reclined, to allow the front seat to be moved back to a reasonable distance. Easy to adjust from an upright to a reclined position.
Cons
  • Heavy (has a steel frame), but also has a comfortable carrying handle

Changed my review
September 8, 2016
Great company! I previously gave this seat a one star review because I had difficulty installing and removing the seat. I was contacted by customer service and sent a new seat from Britax. The new seat Was easy to install. Only reason I am giving 4 star is because The seat , itself is still pretty heavy but I feel comfortable putting my two and a half year old in the seat. if I could remove my one star review, I would. Thank you Britax. You made me a happy customer.

Buckle straps are horribly short.
September 7, 2016
I purchased this seat for our new car and I can't get over how terrible the buckle strap is. I tried moving the strap forward as instructed but the webbing strap itself is just too short. My 1 year old son cries in pain from the latches and buckle digging in to his inner thighs. If it were only few inches longer then his legs wouldn't have to be spread open and the latch/buckle wouldn't dig into his thighs. Will be returning this today.

Pain in the neck to install
August 15, 2016
We have bought six Britax carseats over the course of the last 6 years (2 seats per kid for three children, ages 7years, 5years, and 9months). In the past we have bought the Blvd. seat. Over the weekend we purchased the Marathon ClickTight. I installed it today and it was a MISERABLE process. I struggled with the ClickTight button it was broken, I couldn't adjust incline without serious force, and the lower anchor storage lid got wedged in the seat after it was installed as I didn't close it before adjusting the recline. Awful, terrible, install process. What is so frustrating is that it is marketed that it makes install easier...I can say that is not my experience. Having said all of that I do have confidence in the seat's safety but it is very difficult to install.

We got this car seat to replace our other Britax which was in a car accident. We previously did not have the Click tight model but now that we do, I would say it's definitely worth the extra money. The Cowmooflage is a fun design which is good for both boys and girls. We love this car seat!
Pros
  • Fun design
  • Easy to clean fabric covering
  • Click tight design is very easy to install and feels secure.
Cons
  • It is heavy. Not good for a car seat you have to share between cars.

straps are shorts
July 1, 2016
the straps for the seat are very short, not even mention how tight is between the legs. I am so disappointed because it looks pretty and I kind of trusted britax. I owned other two britax an advocate and a marathon from 2013, but the marathon plastic that goes over the chest broke so I decided to get a new chair, but This new chair is to uncomfortable because the straps are too short, or I got a defective chair, I am sending it back/

I've had this for 14 months. The only carseat we use (we have 2 others!). It's easy to install, easy to clean, easy to adjust to fit. My daughter is comfortable in it, and fits her comfortably. The only downside is that it is so heavy to pick up when moving from car to car. I have a back injury and I have to ask for help moving it.

I love Britax car seats for their safety and harness system but they have perfected the sometimes frustrating installation of the car seat. It is so easy with the click tight. The car seat is heavier than my old one but it has metal bars under the plastic which provides more stability. It is ready for my new grandson's first ride!

I am a big Britax fan always have been and we have 4 kids! This car seat did not disappoint. I absolutely love it! It is sleek and fits great in my van. My son is rear facing and I was surprised by how much room we still have between the back of the driver's seat and the car seat. He seems very comfortable in it and the pattern/material is fantastic. It's breathable and very easy to clean. My only complaint is the click tight was hard for me to click down. I literally had to sit on the seat to get it locked and I had a great deal of trouble unlocking it. Other than that great car seat!

I bought this seat 7 months ago. It wasn't used full time until my son outgrew his infant car seat. We have an older daughter so this is not our first Britax but it is our first Click Tight. Our other 4 Britax seats were easy to install but OMG the click tight technology makes it a breeze!! There is seriously no movement! I love never having to worry about compromising the safety of my son when we have to reinstall the seat.
