Britax Marathon Review Notes
The weight and height limits on a car seat are a big consideration. The Marathon will hold up to a 33 pound baby in the rear facing position and up to 65 pounds in the forward facing position. This is a HUGE consideration. Because of this versatility, this is probably the last car seat you'll need to buy. Britax has a few other very high quality models. The Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat is a high quality seat, with many of the same features as the Marathon. However, it is just too small. Our test baby is 8 months old, weighs 25 pounds, and is 30 inches long (a big boy!). He barely fit in the Roundabout, even though is says it is safe to 33 pounds rear facing. Our baby was totally cramped in the small seat. We used it for a few days and then exchanged it for a Britax Marathon.
