awesome carseat, I am currently in need of a second set. Britax is the best. I have a boulevard currently.

Just ordered 1. Thanks! Great car seat, had one already. Just need another one for the coming new born.

Thanks. Was just looking at this over the weekend, but it was $299 at Babies R us.

Great deal! This is an awesome car seat. We have 2 britax (this one and the boulevard) and our son loves them both. Now he's in a Diono Radian and I found the install of the britax to be easier.

We bought our daughter a Marathon as well. It feels like a pretty solid car seat -- sturdy and heavy.

We also bought her a Scenera, which sometimes goes for $70.

I guess the Marathon is better for rear facing, but for front-facing I don't think she really cared which car seat she used. They both looked effective and comfortable to me. When she was able to talk she said she liked the Scenera better.

The Marathon is rated to 65 lbs and the Scenera to 40 lbs, but at 40lbs they can use booster seats.

Ordered 1, thanks!

We got the same one 6 months ago for $209 + 13%tax on sale from Toys'R'Us....but this is even better since it's $199+gst only = $209 tax included.

I have one of these as well. Great price. I think I paid $230 or so.

Prospective parent here. Can someone explain to me the difference between a $200-$300 car seat, vs a $70 car seat?

Thx.

I heard there are expiry dates associated to car seats? Does this apply to this Britax one?

Great car seat, we have two Britax's, and this model is my favourite.

I heard there are expiry dates associated to car seats? Does this apply to this Britax one?

All car seats have expiry dates regardless of brand.

Does anyone know if this is a "big" car seat? Does it take up a lot of room?

We have a Dodge Caliber and our son is currently in a maxi cosi mico, for which the passengers seat has to be all the way up (so impossible for anyone to sit there)

[biznatch]

I'd also like to know if anyone can compare the size of this seat to the Boulevard?

This model is probably being phased out in favour of the new Marathon 65 "G3" which has a newer buckle that doesn't get stuck under the kid when they climb into the seat themselves.

Sorry, I'm new to the car seat world. So is this not an infant car seat that you can remove and place on a stroller? It looks like newborns can still fit in this, but why would you purchase this seat over one that can be removed and placed on a stroller?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
