I got this car seat in the mail and it was already set up! Which was awesome cause I've heard some you have to put together.. This is definately worth the money. Very easy to adjust strap length and adjust strap height to meet shoulders of your growing little one! I rarely move it out of my car cause it's a bit heavy and the clamps that hold the seat belt take a few minutes. It's easy to move and hook up, but it's too heavy for my liking to move it too much.I feel my son is very safe in this carseat. Long review but I just love this carseat.

We love this carseat! We've had it for almost a year and our daughter is 4. She seems to love it too. She falls asleep in it routinely. We're planning on buying another for our 13 month old. It was a little difficult to install at first but I can definitely tell it's much safer than our old Graco. When my husband and I both install it together it's super solid!

Also, someone wrote that they have a hard time reclining it once it's installed.... that's because it's not designed to recline once it's belted into your car. It's either recline it before installing or not. Our old Graco could recline mid-drive which was nice but I don't think quite as safe. Overall we love it and so does our daughter!

Let me start with this: our little guy hates car seats. However, we recently transitioned him out of his infant seat and into this convertible seat and he is much happier. Does he love it? Well, we're not quite there yet but he doesn't cry now and has taken a couple car ride naps in it.

Before our purchase, we spent time reading the reviews and felt good about what others wrote about reliability and safety. I was surprised at the average reviews on Consumer Reports, relative to the positive reviews elsewhere. Regardless, we can now attest to the sturdiness and the ease of use. We have not been in any significant accidents, but did slide off an icy road last week and my son didn't utter a sound, as he was protected nicely by his new car seat.

The only two cons are that it is bulky in a compact vehicle and that it takes a few weeks to get used to loading and unloading your kid (from previous click-n-go infant seat). Both of these issues, I fully expected and would have seen with all safe & reliable car seats! We have recommended this car seat to our friends.

General speaking, this is a not bad car seat.

It looks comfortable. My 1 year old does not cry when I put him into the seat, not like his old car seat that he refused to sit.

The disadvantage is that it is difficult to recline the seat. When he sleeps while we are driving, it is difficult to recline the seat because it is not easy to adjust the bukles. We can make the bulkes loose in order to make recline easily, but the seat does not look safe.

We were a little nervous about moving from the infant car seat to the convertible car seat, but this car seat has exceeded all our expectations! Our daughter is so comfortable in this seat as it is very roomy and extremely comfortable and the design is so cute. Would recommend this to anyone, its worth the price.

So far the car seat is exactly what my daughter-in-law wanted. No problems. Nothing to do with the product, but the shipping costs ($83) was outrageous. I almost didn't buy it because of it, but since it wasn't in stores and my daughter-in-law had it on her registry, I went for it. But would not do that again for just a friend.

Easy to install. Comforatable. Super cute. Only I don't like is the rubber pieces to keep the armpit buckle up. It's awkward and somewhat uncomfortable when they get in my daughter face.

Sturdy and safe feeling- does not feel cheap. Confident that it will protect my baby. I have it rear facing for my 16 month old and she fits nicely.

We have been using the Britax Marathon since my daughter was 9 months old and she is now 19 months old.(32 in 25 lbs) She is still rear facing and will continue to rear face until she reaches one inch from the top of the shell and she still has lots of growing room. She fits super comfortably and enjoys riding rear facing with her legs crossed, to either side, or resting on the seat back. Which is great because it is so much safer for her to extended rear face until at least 3 or 4. It installs very quickly and with ease. We love our CowMoo Britax! Thanks for keeping our kiddos safe with the higher RFing weight limits!

We use this car seat everyday and have had no problems with it. Our daughter seems to enjoy it and it works well with her height -- she's tall for her age. It's easy to get her in and out and the straps don't rub her neck. The only negative thing I have to say is that while it does have Velcro to hold the straps, it only holds the bottom and the tops tend to fall under her when trying to get her into the seat. She falls asleep in it regularly, and sleeps good in it (no neck issues).
