Britax Marathon ClickTight Convertible Car Seat, Ollie

The ability to keep your child safe in an accident is the most important feature of this product. I'm sorry, but I'm not in a position to comment on that. The product has received mostly positive online feedback. br>br>We've had it for over a year and have the Chicco NextFit in our other vehicle, so that's the only thing I can compare it to.
Pros: (1) Using the car seat belts, it is simple to install. (2) It is relatively light, making it easier to install and uninstall. (3) Shoulder straps and other adjustment points are simple to reach and adjust. br>(4) The slightly smaller front-to-back size is ideal for smaller vehicles (which is why we went with this model). br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. (1) The padding is less dense than that of the Chicco NextFit. (2) The "wings" next to your child's head appear to be extremely frail. I think it's just styrofoam; I'm always afraid I'll break them trying to get my child in and out of the seat. (3) The button for loosening the shoulder belts is inset deep into a smallish hole. My wife doesn't mind, but it's a tight fit for my index finger. Larger-fingered people may not be able to use it. br>br>Overall, the Chicco car seat is our favorite. The Britax, on the other hand, fit better in our Mazda 3 when used in rear-facing mode. Now that our child sits in a forward-facing position, I believe either model would be suitable.

Before you buy it, make sure to read it first. First and foremost, these are fantastic seats! We purchased three of these for two of our vehicles and one of our in-house vehicles. laws. They definitely provide a sense of safety. In these seats, our child resembles a Nascar driver. If you don't mind certain colors, you can get some of them at a discount. The seat is unquestionably built to last and absorb shock! With all of that steel frame, it's extremely heavy. I just wanted to give you guys a list of pros and cons to make this easier to read and understand, and hopefully to assist you in making a decision. After you've read my list, you can always ask more questions. br>br>PROS: br>* Is comforted by the kid's appearance and how he fits into it. br>* If you're picky about colors, this has a great finish with great colors. The blue one is one of our favorites. br>* It is extremely simple to clean. The covers are stain-resistant, and even spills are easily cleaned. br>* It's simple to remove the cover, wash it, and replace it. br>* It will fit into the majority of vehicles without issue. (read the disadvantages of fitting some vehicles)br>* Extremely adaptable. You can position your child in the most comfortable positionbr>* Buttons are built and installed in such a way that children cannot reach them or, if they do, cannot mess with them. br>br>CONS: br>* They're priceybr>* We've had a lot of trouble tightening the top belt. Pulling and securing the top of the seat to a car is extremely difficult. Britax shows how to install the seat in a minivan with the back of the seat facing the enormous open trunk. On the video, it's incredibly simple to pull and secure. Because the back seat of a car has no opening, it's difficult to pull and tighten the seatbelt. br>* Customer service is always busy, and it is difficult to communicate with them. I contacted them about a few minor issues and have yet to receive a response. br>* Because it is difficult to transfer, you will need two of these if you have two cars in your household. Once it's installed in one of the cars, you don't want to mess with it! I'm not making this up: )br>br>THE BOTTOM LINE: br>For your child, this is one of the best (if not the best) car seats available. Before deciding on these, we tried a lot of different seats and did a lot of research. You will not be sorry if you purchase one. (or more, if you own multiple vehicles).

All of the safety and comfort features are excellent. THIS, ON THE OTHER HAND, CANNOT BE ADJUSTED! I'm not sure if I got a lemon or if there was a manufacturing defect, but the "adjustable" part gets stuck and is impossible to move. When I first took it out to see what was wrong, I had to use two long sticks to keep the bars "open" so I could pull it back to a length that was appropriate for my child. br>br>I have two children and have never needed to use the seat adjuster until recently, when my younger child decided it would be fun to sit in the seat of his older sibling. I figured, hey, this thing can be adjusted, so what the heck. I could only move it about two inches before it became stuck. I took it outside to troubleshoot when I got home. I was able to get it back to the correct length, but I'm no longer able to adjust it. My husband was able to adjust it once or twice, but only because he's stronger and can click and hold the handle part better, but he still struggles and despises it. The Graco 4Ever is our other adaptable car seat. That one is far superior and far more adaptable. Who would have guessed that car seats without cup holders would be a good idea? The person responsible for the design of this seat should be fired. Britax has made a mistake here.

I'm already convinced that the Boulevard will be our best bet. We had been using a Graco Contender before, and while it worked fine, I thought it was too basic and lacked any additional safety features. I believe that our children deserve the best in terms of safety, and that if we can provide it, we should. (And the Clicktight series' multiple safety features had me sold! ) They're some of the only convertible seats available in the United States with a rebound bar, and the installation was not only simple but also rock solid, taking less than a minute. For me, it was also simple to remove. br>br>It also gets 5 stars for looks, as it is truly premium. The seat fabric is incredibly soft and plush, and the Poole colorway's vibrant blue is stunning. It appears to be fairly easy to wipe clean. The interior is roomy and well-padded, with deep enough sides to protect my son's head and body in the event of a collision. He couldn not have the insert in because the buckle would dig into his legs with his Graco but I surprisingly found that this wasn an issue on the Boulevard! The crot Even when the carseat is installed upright and pressed tightly against the vehicle seat, the harness straps adjust evenly and quickly. I have no complaints about the Boulevard!br>br>Mine was built six months prior to the purchase date.
