I researched all types of boaster seats & this one seemed to have the best reviews and feedback. The boaster seat is big, heavy in a good way. Very sturdy. My son loves it! I can say that it is not like our Britax car seat, he can't really rest his head when he falls asleep. Safety is our number one concern and it seems Britax focused on that the most. We are very happy with the new boaster seat over all. It is bigger and heavier than our Britax car sear, however it does seem to leave a lot more room. It's not as tight in the back anymore. Our car is not big at all, we drive a cadillac CTS so we thought the size of this boaster seat was going to be a problem, but I am thankful it was not. Our son is not even 3 yet and he is 43 inches tall, it seems he will fit in this boaster for a long time. We love it! :)

Great car seat - we purchased the Marathon for our son and decided to get one for our daughter. No regrets. It is super easy to use and very sturdy.

I like the product so far. It is very cushiony for the little one and seems to be built quite strong and durable. My car is small and I am able to fit it in the center back seat. I have only used it with him really once or twice, but he seems to like it too.

I purchased two of the marathons for my 2 and 3 three year old at the time.
I've tried Graco and evenflo in the past and was not happy, mainly for comfort and their heads flopping forward, when they fell asleep.
I heard about the Britax carseats and my husband and I decided to try them out. My boys love them, even my oldest daughter wanted one for herself. Their heads don't flop forward and they don't complain when riding in them.
My boys are now 4 and 3 and still love their seats. I know they are not cheap, but when it comes to the safety of your child, cost does not matter.
