[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm going to just start by saying EASY INSTALL!!! This click tight technology is truly the most user friendly tech I've ever seen. It takes just minutes to open, adjust and install this seat!! I am using it with my 2 year old, 27lb and 35” tall toddler, in a rear facing click tight seatbelt installation. He's a smaller dude, and this seat is so beyond perfect for him. It's comfy for him, he even said “me like me seat!” The fabric is so smooth, easy to wipe, the color is neutral and I love the white outer hard shell. It's very modern looking, and simple in design. The no re thread harness is a definite win! I also loveeee how the straps tighten! it is actually the easiest tightening and loosening I've ever had to deal with (I have 4 kids!) its super smooth. My only complaint is the lack of a cup holder but truly that's not even a big deal. It's not too heavy either, and seems to have a somewhat narrower footprint in the car. It's also easily adjusted for the proper recline. I am so beyond stoked that I got to review this from Stellar Product Testing Panel! this car seat is going to get years of use out of it. Eventually he will flip forward when he maxes out of the height and weight limits.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressed from the get go with this seat. It's packaged well and feels substantial even in the box. Once we took it out, it's a great looking seat. My boys all liked the feel of the fabric, and I love knowing that it's not full of chemicals. The straps are cool, they have like a rubbery bumper thing on the back so they stay in place. Installing the seat wasn't too bad, it's a pretty big seat though so I wouldn't necessarily want to be getting it in and out all the time. The Click Tight technology is neat (and reassuring to know it's been installed correctly) and Britax is known for safety and performance…and based on the construction of this seat, you can tell. One of our favorite features was how customizable the position/recline was, which is great if you have fussy car riders like I do that are all different ages. There's some nice plush padding too, which helps with the seat being comfy. We'll see how it is in the summer though, all that may lead to a hot seat in the heat. I was given this convertible car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this convertible car seat to try out and review. For the last two years we have owned two different Britax carseats. This Marathon ClickTight Convertible carseat is our third. Pros: - Super soft, beautiful fabric that has NO added flame retardant chemicals to it (and is naturally flame-retardant.) Which is very important to me and always a top priority when looking to purchase a carseat. - Quick and effortless install with the ClickTight feature (It is seriously the best. All three of our carseats are ClickTights and it makes installation a breeze.) - I love the convenience factor of the material/upholstery being washer and dryer safe. - Lastly, safety features are of the utmost importance to me when choosing one for my son to ensure he is as safe as he can be. This carseat has a reinforced steel frame and side impact protection which puts my mind at ease knowing that he is protected. Cons: - This carseat seems far less roomy than our Britax One4Life (although, I believe that particular model is meant to be larger/roomier.) However, even so, my 35 pound 3 year old was still comfortable in it while rear-facing.
It's perfect. And versatile! Fits securely in the car with no wiggling and is very comfortable for a one year old (facing back) and a 4 year old (facing forward.) this is our second purchase of this model Britax. We purchased our first three years ago and it's still in use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to say that all car seats are the same, but this one has changed my mind and stands above the rest! The main feature here is the click in design, and it did not disappoint. I think anyone who watches the video on how to install it could do it easily and quickly. But if you're getting this car seat because you think it will be so easy to switch from car to car, you need to know that it is seriously heavy. Could your husband carry it around? Yes. Could your mother in law carry it around? I don't know. But once it's clicked in it feels incredibly secure- the most important part of a car seat! Plus the cushion is so nice! It feels more like a memory foam than anything else, and even the bottom buckle area is cushioned so it's not pressing uncomfortably into the crotch area. My toddler used to get car sick all the time when he was rear facing and getting the car seat clean was a nightmare. Being able to easily take off AND easily put back on the cushions is a major perk with this seat (I didn't wash it yet but I did practice taking it off and on). I do wish that it had cup holders but that's what snack cups are for. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing us with this car seat. We are so happy with it and will be filling it with goldfish crumbs for years to come!
I am a mother of two adult daughters, we are about to have our third grand child. The oldest is out of a car seat, he's 8. The soon to be middle child is only 15 months old. The convertible car seat she has broke, the adjustable headrest got stuck in the highest position when putting the laundered covers back on. Not happy about that at all. So I needed to buy another one. They are in my car more than anyone's so I want quality. This thing has that ten fold! Heavy, built to last, sturdy and the best part…it's super easy to install.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my opinion and I have to tell you - I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it compared to my current car seat! Within a day of getting it, I had to install it quickly by myself (never done installation without my husband) and it was an easy process. The ClickTight technology allows you to secure the seat without having to reach around everything - which I love! The only downside is that it does not have cup holders. The other features (including the fabric and size) outweigh this con in my opinion. All in all I would highly recommend for convenience and ease!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start off by letting you know that we currently own 6 Graco 4ever car seats. We have 3 children under 5 and utilize 3 car seats for each vehicle. I was over the moon to try another brand of car seat to see how they compare. When I unboxed the Britax Marathon ClickTight I was immediately impressed by the aesthetic of the car seat. The material is so soft, durable and looks high quality! I am in love with the gray and tan color scheme and love how chic it looks. I have a difficult time installing and tightening our Graco car seats so I was pleased at how easy I was able to install this one. I didn't spend 30 minutes in the car frustrated and giving up and finally have my husband take over. I love that I can easily take this out and put in a grandparents car if needed without stressing that it is not installed correctly. The car seat is very roomy and my 18 month fits comfortably in the rear-facing position. The straps are easy to tighten and loosen, which is important when you have to take them in and out of the car multiple times a day. One part I didn't love was the rubber tracks next to the chest buckle, but that is just a minor complaint in comparison to all the positives. The material is so nice and looks like it can easily be removed from the base in case you need to wash it. The most important thing is that it is SAFE for your children. This car seat has a steal frame and full body side impact protection that surrounds their head, neck, and torso. I'm excited that this will grow with my child which is important to me when purchasing a car seat. A few minor things to consider - I wasn't able to adjust the position of the seat once I had it strapped in and tightened and it does not have any cup holders. So far I am really liking this car seat just as much as our current Graco's and this one is priced more affordably. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending this convertible car seat to me and allowing me to try it out!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the look and feel of the fabrics on this seat. My daughter loves bright colors so she was really happy to see the purple seat. She runs a bit warm, but seemed to stay at a very comfortable temperature in this seat. I have heard that flame-retardent chemicals are believed to be harmful, so it was nice that the seat was made without them. I love that the padding is machine washable, which is a must for our family. The seat is shallower than others she has used, so she was initially upset at her legs being a bit cramped and having to find new ways to position them. Installation was really easy with the seat belt and with the included latch strap. The clip of the latch strap is the traditional clip style which does make it more difficult to switch from car to car if you need to swap it out frequently, but the seatbelt installation is very easy and keeps the belt out of the way once it is completed. The padding on the crotch buckle is nice, especially for those warm days when my girl wears shorts or a dress. My daughter seemed pretty comfortable in this seat for the most part, however she developed a small bruise on her tailbone after a day of shopping and errands. I don't know if this was due to the seat itself, the padding, or the position of her clothes, but this has never happened to her in any other seat. I have rheumatoid arthritis and found the body straps very easy to tighten and loosen and the buckles very easy to release, making these my favorite parts of the carseat. I do think my husband may have some difficulty in loosening the straps as his fingers are large and the button is in a sort of tube near the base of the seat, but I find this to be a nice feature, as my daughter is very good at getting out of containment once she sets her mind to it, so I know this would make it more difficult for her. My daughter is in the 98th percentile for height and weight and we intend to rear face until she reaches the height or weight limits of the seat, but I don't know that this plan will work for this particular seat. It may, perhaps, be a better fit for more petite babies and toddlers. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this carseat.
I did extensive research before I bought the clicktiggt marathon car seat. My kids ride rear facing for as long S I can make them. The cover on the most rear part continually comes off and is really annoying but it might have saved my child has we had we gotten in a wreck while he was in this car seat. We noticed a screw on our weather tech floor mats but couldn't identify where it came from because my husband sells car parts and it could have belonged to any number of hardware. The other day we got the car seat out to clean it and the frame was wobbly. I saw that a screw was missing and the matching screw on the opposite side was loose. I was able to find the screw and put it back in for temporary safety fix until I can replace the seat with a brand that will hopefully be better than this. Pretty disappointed with the safety I had expected being a false sense of security. I would hate to know what would have happened if we wrecked and my son would have been in this car seat.
