Britax has great quality, but too stiff
May 4, 2015
We hate this seat. Perhaps we purchased a lemon. The straps are so stiff that you need to be really strong and very vigilant to make sure it has been tightened well enough. I cannot use the seat at all, my husband needs to pull and loosen the straps. Terrible product.

i bought this seat a little over 3 weeks ago, we changed from a Britax infant carrier. i must say I'm very glad i did. long car rides have become much easier to deal with and she loves it. the only down side is that when she falls asleep her head is isnt as snug as in the infant carrier.

Perfect Car Seat for my daughter!!
April 29, 2015
We had ordered it and it came really quickly! The car seat was in perfect condition and my little girl wanted to just sit right in it right away! We put the seat in my Equinox and it fit perfectly in both positions but because of my daughters size and age she must still rear face until age 2. She loves her seat and will fall asleep in it easily! It is very comfortable for her! We love all the protection that Britax seats have to offer! When our next little one comes along, we will be purchasing Another Britax from Albeebaby.com again!
Pros
  • Easy to install
  • Not too heavy
Cons
  • The recline button was a little hard to figure out.

I own two of these car seats and I LOVE them. My biggest issue with car seats is installing them and making sure they are safe and secure in the vehicle. This is just about the easiest one I've ever used.

Love this car seat and so does my daughter. Not only do I love the look, it is very sturdy and comfortable. It also fits nicely in the back of my passat which I was concerned about. The install and adjustments took a while, so its a tad bit complicated (or it may just be me) But overall I am happy with my decision and will definitely be purchasing more britax products in the future!
Pros
  • comfortability, sturdy, stable, lots of cushion. (has a level indicator on the side to show you the best position for your child )
Cons
  • the click tight is hard to open and so is button where the belts click in on the child. my grandmother with arthritis is unable to operate it so we had to get another carseat for her while the baby is in her care.

I love this new ClickTight model! We had to replace our previous Marathon model due to being in a minor car accident. I don't regret my decision of going with the Marathon ClickTight model because 1) it still has the safety features that we love about Britax, 2) the amazingly easy installation, and 3) the stylish look of it and the comfort it provides my child.

Highly recommanded
April 24, 2015
Well, when my son is under 2 yr, he often had trouble in sitting in the infant car seat (GRACO). I think the GRACO infant car seat is not comfortable, and does not have enough space for the baby over 1yr but under 2 yr. When I decided to change our car seat, I have made lots of investgations. And most of my friends recommand BRITAX. After comparing the space and the price we could afford, I chose the BRITAX. Now, My son likes it, does not cry any more when we put him in the car seat. I must to say the design of the BRITAX is comfortable and large enough for the babies over 2 yr.

Just as expected
April 14, 2015
The installation is easy as advertised! The use of the optional tether adds complexity/time, and it doesn't really feel optional when it's your baby's safety potentially at risk (that's why we buy Britax right?). After a week, our babe got sick in the car so we had to wash several pieces/parts and taking it apart to clean up and put back together went smoothly. Very nice car seat and best price was found here!
Pros
  • Looks
  • Safety
  • Installation

Better fit for older baby
April 13, 2015
Compared with the Chicco Nextfit, which we purchased for our other vehicle, this carseat doesn't fit a baby as well. Our child just grew out of his infant seat and is about 22 lbs and 30 inches tall. The straps don't fit well now, and there's not much head support. The car seat was easy to install though and will be fine once he's a bit bigger.

They went too cheap on some aspects of this seat
April 12, 2015
I really wanted to love this car seat but I honestly regret buying it. My biggest complaint is that they used very cheap components in the lower latch connector hooks, lower connector adjuster release button and finally the recline adjustment handle. These three pieces are not made well and make installation of the car seat very difficult. I know that they recommend using a seat belt for connection but the center seatbelt in my 2012 Honda pilot comes from the ceiling so it is better to use the latch connection points. The cheapness of these parts made it so I had to get help from my husband to get the car seat installed and then uninstalled. At around 120lbs I was not strong enough and did not weigh enough to get the click tight to close properly when installed rear facing. When I wanted to move the seat to another car I was not strong enough to undo the click tight. I again needed my husband to do it. I compete in triathlons so I should be strong enough to install a car seat. How safe is a car seat that has to be installed by heavy strong man? What if I need to move it to another car without the help of a guy? So other things I wish I would have know before buying this seat. I can not overemphasizes the cheapness of the lower latch hooks, lower adjust release button and lean angle handle. The hooks are very hard to connect and unconnect. If the car seat is installed rear facing it is impossible to adjust the lean angle without redoing the latches again. However, the lean angle changes once its installed due to the force towards the latch area. Finally, I think that the manual or the britax website needed to be more specific on the location of the model number (its under the fabric by the child's left leg). I should have spent half the amount of money and gotten a different seat. Very disappointed.

My 17 mo son loves it! He looks so comfortable in it & most importantly it's so easy to use! I wish I had gotten this when he was an infant. The only thing is that it's kind of heavy, but the ease of installing & the amount of protection the carseat provides makes up for it. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase & would definitely recommend this to family/friends.

We have one of these already in another vehicle and just decided to get another one. Albee had the best price on the same color and model of our other one. Ordering was easy, arrived in a few days. The whole transaction was very smooth. Of course we love the product, it's why we have 2.
Pros
  • Easy to install, very stable, Steel frame, he seems very comfortable on long rides and I feel very safe knowing our son is in one
Cons
  • a little heavy if you're going to be moving it in and out of a vehicle a lot, but the act of installing or taking out is simple and fast.

Have this car seat installed and I love the ease of use and install. When the baby is rear-facing, the impact absorbing pads are a pain but nice that they can be removed when using the restraint in rear-facing mode only.

Very nice carseat
March 30, 2015
I really like the size of the base of this carseat. It doesn't feel like it takes up the whole backseat. I also like how easy it is to push the button to loosen the straps. I wish the straps would stay to the sides better when putting my child in the seat. My only other negative comment is with the removable cushion for the seat and buckle. They don't stay in place as well as I'd like and sometimes the straps get twisted in the cushion.

The second we switched our then-6 month old from his infant seat, he was SO much happier. He used to scream during car rides, but now he loves them. We bought this seat for the awesome safety features (steel reinforced, ClickTight system), but we--and our son--got so much more out of it!

Very safe and son really loves it!
March 26, 2015
We bought this seat for our seven month old son who had grown out of his infant carrier (too long and too heavy for momma to carry). He loves the new seat and I feel really good about how safe the seat is. The construction seems really good and once installed the seat doesn't budge. My only complaint would be that the straps are a little hard to loosen up. Hoping that it's the newest that is causing them to be so rigid.

Great Car Seat
March 18, 2015
We purchased this car seat for our daughter because of a minor car accident. Initially, I replaced our original bucket seat with the Graco MyRide 65, but no matter how hard I tried, we just couldn't get the harness to tighten enough to protect our daughter. We had also replaced a faulty Graco jogging stroller with the Britax B-Agile and love, love, love it. Because of the great experience with that product, we decided to ship back the MyRide and bought the Marathon instead.This seat was super easy to install. I had nothing but trouble trying to get our bucket seat in and out and my husband always had to do it. He hasn't had to help me at all with the Marathon. I will say that the ClickTight feature, which is SO fantastic for getting a super tight install (this seat doesn't wiggle even a little!), is also one of the most annoying things EVER. In order to get the seat out, you have to release the ClickTight, which involves turning this little disc until a part of seat opens up. Unfortunately, it's really challenging to turn the disc until you've done it a few times. I ended up having to break out a set of pliers to help me break it in. Annoying, yes, but at the same time, it keeps my baby safe, so I'll deal with it. They don't call it ClickTight for nothing! Other awesome things about this seat: it's so cushy and cozy, the cow print is adorable, the harness tightens and loosens without struggling, adjusting the harness height is so easy, it's easy to see what recline level you're at and where you should be (there are 7 recline options) based on your baby's size, it's not gigantic. The Marathon is a really great car seat and is totally worth every penny. Highly recommend!
Pros
  • - ClickTight feature makes for an extremely tight install
  • - Harness is super easy to use; no struggling with tightening and loosening
  • - No having to thread harness straps to adjust height; there is a lever that does the work for you
  • - Very, very easy and quick install
  • - Solid product; you can literally see and feel how well designed this is
  • - Super padded for great comfort
  • - Adorable cow print
Cons
  • - ClickTight latch is tricky to open the first few times

Heavy and hard to install
March 18, 2015
This car seat is difficult to install, especially if you take the cover off to wash. There are multiple pieces to remove when washing. It is very difficult to get the car seat tight when using the latch system. It also is very heavy, so if you travel frequently, this is not the seat for you.

The install was so easy! This is our third britax so we knew we would love the seat but never imagined you could install a seat in a minute. The crotch strap had to be moved to the outside for our 6 month old and felt very stiff and awkward but after 2 weeks of use it feels more normal.
Pros
  • Easy install
  • Nicely padded

Very Comfortable
March 8, 2015
I purchased this seat for my 10 month old daughter. She really seems comfortable in the seat and I love the twilight color! The seat belt install is really easy, but I feel as though the click tight instructions are a little vague about how tight to get the seat belt, and I had tightened it too much the first install. The seat is not as bulky as some, but is still pretty heavy, and of course reenforced with the safecell, so I feel as though my child is safe. There were some imperfections in the stitching, but at least you can remove the cover to wash, unlike another seat I had looked at. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase, and don't regret spending the money considering I should get at least 2.5-3 years usage.

overall good
March 6, 2015
The seat was hard to figure out adjustments. You have to have it in a more upright position to have the strap length necessary to fastened in your child. Once we figured that out it has worked great. At first we had it too reclined (and rear facing) and there was hardly any strap length. As you adjust the tilt and the back height then the straps are longer. Otherwise a good car seat.

My husband & I only use Britax because it's the safest brand out there. Yes, they are the most expensive but you get what you pay for :) When it was time to upgrade our son to a "big boy" car seat, we had no doubt in our mind that we were going to buy a Britax! I did a little research & found AlBee Baby! I can't believe we got such a huge discount off the car seat & free shipping! Score! Our son absolutely LOVES his new car seat as well! It's so comfy for him. Half the time, he is so quite (which is very unusual for him), we think he is sleeping back there but really he just chilling & enjoying the ride :) Now, the car seat itself is pretty heavy but easy to transfer from one car to the next with the new Click Tight system! I was a little sketchy on how safe & easy this new system can be. But let's just say, when I needed to transfer his car seat to another vehicle, it was strapped in so well, I needed to use plyers to unlock the system! It's that strong & safe!!! And doesn't move at all once clicked in. The car seat also has 7 recline positions but isn't so big that it won't fit in your vehicle. You know how you get a car seat & you're like "Well I don't own a semi for this thing to fit in, now what am I going to do?!" I have a sedan & it fits perfectly in there! I've been recommending this car seat left & right to friends who are looking to upgrade as well.
Pros
  • -Easy to install
  • -Very comfy for baby
  • - Super safe with steel frame
