Customer Reviews

Great carseat from Britax!
We bought this car seat and love it. The extra padding and the push button release are so worth it above the Marathon. We didn't purchase it from Amazon, as some of the reviews raised concerns for me. We bought it on ebay from an authorized Britax dealer, registered and all. Overall, any Britax would have been a good purchase!

LazyBoy carseat, but straps twist badly
I bought one to use as rear facing for my 6 mo old & was so impressed with how easy it is to install, I bought another for my 2 year old. The straps do twist badly & the seat is so soft that it is bulky- making it harder to find every twist in the strap. Also, these seats are HUGE. I drive a Crown Victoria & there is no room for a middle passenger in the backseat. I often bump the kids' head when getting them out of the carseat. That being said, my 2 year old LOVES being able to see out her window. She is 25lbs & very short, but could easily enjoy Christmas lights this year! All in all it's a super comfy seat & they no longer fuss like they did with the Cosco. However, it is very annoying that the straps twist so badly.

Excellent Car Seat
I loved this car seat so much that we bought the exact same one for our second child. It was easy to put in, the straps do not get tangled, it is easy to clean, it is durable, and seems to be comfortable for the kids. Most of all I feel it is a very safe car seat. I would strongly recommend it.
