Excellent car seat
October 17, 2018
This makes the 6th britax seat our family has used since 2012. Not one of our seats has ever disappointed and so far this one is great too. The new click-tight system is super easy to install. The clock tight make it feel so tight and secure. The fabric is so soft, sturdy, comfortable, and will be easy to wipe clean. I like the indicator on the side to show the correct incline. The tilt is great to help keep baby's head from hanging down. Our original britax purchase from 2012 is still in great condition so I only look for this seat to hold up just as well since the fabric quality and technology seem to be improving with every seat. We also have 2 strollers that have held up great after several years of use. I will continue to purchase britax products

The best Car Seat Hands Down!
October 16, 2018
I have bought many car seats and this is the first one that I can get tight in my vehicle. All the others seem loose on leather seats. I love the click tight option b/c it is fast and safe. I will now only buy these car seats moving forward. If you are contemplating buying this seat. DO IT !

I liked how easy they click tight system works...... well it does take quite a bit of pressure to close; however. Once locked, the seat is really secure in car. I bought this for grandkids and expect it to go through many stages. It is very durable; a real quality product. The red color blew me over. I couldn't pass up.

Extended rear-facing 5-year-old approves
October 4, 2018
My son is a small 5-year-old. He's 31 pounds and 42" tall. I want to keep him rear-facing as long as possible (it's recommended to keep kiddos rear-facing until they grow out of the requirements for their individual car seat) and the Britax Marathon Click Tight allows US to do so! I was able to safely and properly install this seat in my 2017 Ford Explorer behind the driver seat thanks to the 7-position recline and built-in level indicator (genius!!). I love the no-rethread harness and Click Tight installation, too! The material on the dual comfort Marathon is perfect for my active little guy. He's often getting in the car after running around at school, soccer, or playing and the last thing he wants to do is stay warm! The grey fabric (where the majority of his body sits in the seat) allows for ventilation and the black fabric (behind his head - again, genius!) wicks away the moisture so he's comfy when he gets in the car and while on-the-go! Speaking of comfort, he has no problem or complaints about sitting "criss-cross applesauce" while in his seat as he has plenty of hip space while in the seat to allow for it ergonomically. He's also 5, so we have conversations about how riding facing backward is safest. It's easy for him to climb in and out of the seat himself and the buckling him is easier than when he was an infant! Thanks, Britax, for making a seat that can accommodate extended rear-facing easily, comfortably, and safely.

Checks all the boxes for a Convertible Car Seat!
September 19, 2018
This is my favorite of all of our car seats, and I will be buy more when our 2nd is ready for a convertible. (1) ClickTight installation is a breeze, we install weekly in our nanny's car and I have it down to where it takes minutes. (2) No Re-thread harness works perfectly. When you are watching your child's height versus three different car seats this really is necessary to be confident they have the best and safest fit. (3) Fits all our cars. We install in a SUV and two small sedans without issue.
Pros
  • Rated highly by Consumer Reports for safety, ClickTight install is simple, No-rethread harness works well
Cons
  • Must adjust recline and then install, the first time installing in each car may require trial and error while you figure out the right recline. The button on the side of our Nuna RAVA is easier for this.

This car seat is wonderful. It looks great, very easy to use, and my child looks very cozy when riding in it! Quick installation into vehicle makes it painless if you have to switch it from vehicle to vehicle. The safety restraint system is easy to use so your child won’t get mad at you when you are trying to fasten them in!

Britax Marathon Car sears click & go
September 7, 2018
The Britax click and go car seat is so easy to install. As a grandparent, I can easily take the seat in and out of my car without any help. The seat padding is comfortable and the seat is designed for safety. Albee has not only the best price but quick delivery. I recommend the seat and purchasing at Albee.

Love the Marathon and ClickTight!
August 31, 2018
This is our second Marathon car seat. We loved our first and when our son outgrew the infant car seat, we knew we wanted another Britax. We like that the straps don't get tangled. can be placed/held to the side when getting the child in and out, and now we love the ease of installation with CickTight. He seems very comfortable in the seat and I really can't say enough about how easy it is to get him in and out. We had another brand for our daughter and the straps were constantly getting hung up or tangled and it was really difficult to tighten the straps once she was in, particularly when it was rear facing. We have none of those issues with the Marathon. I highly recommend this car seat and the price is unbeatable for all the options and safety features.

The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because of the weight. Not a good choice if you will be traveling or moving the car seat regularly. Otherwise, it seems to be much sturdier than our previous car seats. Very easy to install and adjust.

August 17, 2018
We bought 3 to replace carseats that were involved in an accident. We absolutely love them! The clicktight feature is so easy to use and make install a breeze. With having 5 children we are very familiar with installing carseats but this seat has made it so much easier and quicker to move the around. They are also slim enough so easily fit 3 across in our Odyssey. Love love love !

The safety touted by this model was my main reason for purchasing this seat. I am adopting a little boy so I don't need any infant seat as he is already 20 lbs. I was happy with the color too - red is auspicious in Chinese culture. This is the perfect fit for our son.

We recently switched from our daughter’s infant car seat to this one. She’s not a fan of traveling, but so far seems to love this seat. It sits up higher than her infant seat and she can see more now, plus the seat is very plush and comfortable, so I think it is definitely a better ride (upgrade) for her. The install is simple and we like the reclining positions, not to mention the safety features. Glad this will grow with her and get good use.

I Love Love Love this car seat ! Very easy to install , comfortable and above all safe! This car seat cannot be used in 2017 Ford Explorer or truck due to the inflatable seatbelt , I spoke to britax directly for about 30 min and they confirmed. We put it in another vehicle & it s fantastic!

August 2, 2018
I was very pleased with this car seat. We had a chicco next fit and were getting this seat as a second seat. I actually liked this one better so made the next fit my secondary seat (due to the bucket design the Britax was easier to get my rear facing almost 2 year old into) my son is 23 months 23 lbs and 25th percentile for height. I plan to rearface him until 3.
Pros
  • Installation using click tight was super easy. Seat feels very plush and my son seems comfortable in it. I was able to fit 3 across in my Honda Odyssey (Britax pioneer in high back booster mode and a Graco low back on either side of the marathon). My son in the high back pioneer (bulky seat) can easily buckle himself in.
Cons
  • the installations instructions confused me a bit and I thought I was suppose to lock the seat belt before doing the click tight. After you tubing the install I can get a perfect instal in minutes in any position in my van. The other problem I am having is the cover slipping off and exposing the foam. A friend of mine with a similar Britax seat has the same issue except her two year old is picking at the foam. Luckily mine hasn?t noticed and I cover mine as soon as I see it has slipped.

I have an 11 mo old and she was feeling crowded in her keyfit30 infant car seat. Everytime I'd put her in her old seat she would cry and fuss. After getting this car seat she is alot more comfortable, and does not fuss or cry at all when in it. I love the colora and fabric and overall it was pretty easy to install.

After struggling with a different car seat for 4 months, my daughter-in-law, daughter, and I found this gem.The click tight mechanism is super easy and secure. The "bolt" clip things that are deep into the recesses of my back seat do not need to be used. Amen. The seatbelt that is in the back seat clips into a compartment that can not be accessed by the child while driving, safety first. Since I babysit my grandson during the school year, it is essential that I have a car seat that I can operate under today's standards. This Britax does the trick.I highly recommend this product.
Pros
  • Easy install.
  • Easy use of straps on child. Tighten and Loosen without a struggle.
  • Nice color choices.
Cons
  • A bit heavy, but not a deal breaker.
  • No cup holders for cups/toys.
  • Pricey.

This is our third britax convertible car seat and second of this exact model. Safety is so important, but we live in the suburbs so we also need something comfortable since the kids are in the car daily and this one fits the bill. Both my 1 yo and 3.5 yo love this car seat. Really easy to use as well. Only downside is that it is quite large rear facing so I would measure if you have a smaller car.

The best car seat
June 5, 2018
I still have my infant car seat in my husbands truck so I am able to appreciate the ease of this carseat! The straps come lose so easily when pushing the loosen button. I love that it is hidden deal in a hole so my little cannot reach it. The way the seat lifts up to buckle it in is just mind blowing! I love it so much. My old car seat is so hard to unlatch and losen the straps to get her in and out. I love the seat pads for comfort. I love the ease of moving the straps up and down with the red button up top. No more pulling straps out to move them and have them all twisted having to redo it again! I JUST LOVE THIS CAR SEAT!!

Love the carseat, hate the latch system.
May 30, 2018
I purchased this car seat for my granddaughter for it's safety and the ease of the clicktight system. However, after purchasing a new vehicle that has airbags in the seatbelts, I have to use the latch system. Because I don't keep the seat in my vehicle, I put it in and take it out when needed. It takes forever to remove it due to the clips used to latch in the seat. Trying to hold down the latch and push it in and twist it then pull to remove is just too hard. And it's not just me, my daughter had the same problem when she borrowed the seat. If you can use the clicktight seatbelt system, this is a great seat. If you need to use a latch system, buy something else.

This seat is amazing. If you plan on/need to move a seat from vehicle toVehicle often then the Clicktight is so worth the price. The harness is also so easy to use and the design is very sleek. My daughter loves her britax. It is very compact front to back when rear facing a toddler, so this seat works well in smaller cars (once kiddo can sit unassisted).
Pros
  • Ease of install, no rethread harness, nice fabric, comfortable.
Best Uses
  • Switching between vehicles often

And that Clicktight concept is worth its weight in gold. No more wrestling in the back seat in the CA heat. Ended up replacing the other one just to not have to go through that again, now have 2 Britaxes! Only concern is hoping I can fit more in the seat with kid #2.

My husband and I love this carseat. It is well padded and a comfortable fit for our 1 year old. He falls sleep all the time. Our infant carseat was a Britax as well. We feel much more at ease with the safety ratings! I also love how this carseat can stay rear facing for longer.

I read lots of reviews on convertible car seats before deciding on the Britax Marathon ClickTight. I love it! It is super easy to install. The great thing is once you click the seat in place during installation you know you have installed correctly. This is my fifth car seat I have purchased for grandchildren, and I think the best yet!
