Solid Choice
August 16, 2019
I have the Britax Marathon Clicktight convertible car seat for my toddler and I just bought a second one for my infant transferring out of her infant carseat. I loved my son’s, his color style is no longer available, but I got my daughter the striped finish on sale via Albee Baby. Since I’m familiar with the product, it was easy to install and set her up comfortably right away. It’s easy to adjust the height and buckles. I love how sturdy and safe it feels and I have comfort knowing Britax is known for quality and safety. It is quite large and does take up a ton of space, particularly when it’s rear facing..the person in front of the seat doesn’t have a ton of room to move their seat back since it needs to tilt a certain amount while rear facing. So if you have a compact car or small SUV (I have the VW Tiguan) just take into account the room you’ll have left for other passengers and car seats. I can squeeze myself in between both the Britax Marathon car seats in the back seat when we have a guest in the car, but I am pretty thin and have narrower hips. There’s no possible room for a 3rd car seat in the backseat. The size of the car seat doesn’t bother me, and soon we will be getting a larger vehicle anyway. I would highly recommend this car seat, as I have purchased two of them. Also, Albee Baby processed the order and had my seat delivered very promptly (only took 2 days and I was able to get free shipping!).
