Product Description

The Britax Marathon 70 convertible car seat is designed for children rear facing from 5 to 40 pounds and forward facing from 1 year and 20 lbs up to 70 pounds. 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. The Marathon 70 also incorporates Britax side impact protection, offers a no-rethread and quick-adjust five-point harness, multiple buckle and recline adjustments, and an easy access cover and access to belt paths from the front of the seat. A head and body pillow is provided for comfort.
Product Features
- 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
Customer Reviews
I just had this car seat installed RF in my VW GTI and it fits perfectly fine with room for someone to sit in the front seat. I had looked all over the internet for this info but could not find it so I was concerned I would have to return the seat for lack of space. Pleasantly surprised I didn't have to!. Also, I had it professionally installed but I was there as it was done and it looked like a breeze (RF with the latch system).
I seen there were 2 One Star reviews. I also went into research mode.
According to the HealthStuff.com site, YES, this car seat is considered HIGH on the Toxicity Chart.
And no, I'm not concerned.

It states that there is a large measure of Bromine in the clips on this safety seat.
I looked up what that is used for, and why it's such a big deal.
You know what I found? Bromine is used as a Flame Retardant. You see the importance?
Think about being in an accident, the car in raging hot with flames. You are scared for your child's life, not sure if you can get him/her out quickly.
Then you take into consideration, there is Bromine on the clips so they DON'T MELT in the extreme heat.
Therefor, you un-clip and free your child easily and are away from the vehicle in an instant!
See what I did there? I don't wish that on ANYONE... But doesn't it make sense?
Besides, how many of you see your children chewing on something and getting poisoned by something that's resistant to extreme heat like fire?
This is a worth while seat for the price, and ease of mind.
