- Safe cell technology features safe cells designed to compress in a crash, significantly lowering the center of gravity and counteracting the forward rotation of the child seat which normally propels the child toward the front seat
- Integrated steel bars strengthen the connection to the vehicle and reduce forward flexing of the child seat during a crash
- Energy-absorbing versa-tether features a staged-release tether webbing to slow the forward movement, reducing the crash forces reaching the child, and a two-point attachment to minimize forward rotation while anchoring the top of the child seat
- Side impact protection comprised of deep side walls lined with energy-absorbing EPP foam distributes crash forces, shields from vehicle intrusion, and contains the head, neck and body
- Tangle-free; Five-point harness distributes crash forces across the strongest parts of the body and provides a secure fit
The MARATHON 70 achieves revolutionary head safety through the use of BRITAX SafeCell Technology Integrated Steel Bars and Versa-Tether that work together to minimize head excursion and reduce the risk of head injury during a frontal impact
One and only carseat that my kids will ever travel in!!!,
First of all, watch the video. That should be the main reason why you buy this seat. My husband was very hesitant on spending over 200 dollars on a car seat but once we looked at them in the store and did our research this was the best we could get for our family so we made the purchase. I ordered the seat late Sunday night and it was at my door Weds. morning…..almost unbelievable (I live in NC). It came in the Britax box and was ready to be put in the car once I adjusted everything to my 11 month olds comfort. It is so well made and the latches were another selling point for us. Unlike the Graco and other brands all you do is press a button and pop it on the latch, no pinching and doing crazy wrist movements, pinching fingers, getting AGRAVATED anymore for us!!!! We bought the cow print and couldn’t be happier with it (we have two girls but are planning on adding two more children to the family). If you are looking for a car seat that meets your safety needs to a T, A+++++ this car seat is for you. It is one of the bulkier car seats but my children’s safety is #1 to me. I know it is an investment and we look forward to many years with our Britax!!! We are awaiting the arrival of the Parkway Britax for our older daughter, we are so excited!!!

|love it!,
we had a regular infant car seat and knew that is was time to update it. Well our daughter is 8 mns old and she could still use her infant one but wanted to move her to a safer seat and THIS IS THE SEAT!
It was easy to install, easy to change the length of belts, and easy to put her in. All I got to say is this seat is a piece a cake compared to the infant car seat we had.
There are some reviews that state that this seat is hard to install or that the belts tangle… I took the old seat out put this one in all in a total of 10 minutes. It is easy. I also love how the seat does not slide like my other one did, we don’t have the latch system so the other seat seemed loose in the car vs this one does not move!
It is a bigger seat but we have it fully reclined – like it states- and there is room in our car for the passenger, I little tighter then with the other but it is doable.
All I got to say is that I would give it 10 stars if I could, if you are hesitating on spending over $200 on a seat, look at the video and see all the tests they do for safety. Also, this is one of the only seats that I could find that you can have a child in there up to 70 lbs. This is the jaguar of all car seats!
