A rigid seat shell, deep side walls, and energy-absorbing foam lining protect your child's head, neck and body. View larger.
Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat (Onyx) Side Impact Protection for Added Security
To keep your child safe, the Marathon Convertible includes Side Impact Protection, which is a system composed of the rigid seat shell, the deep side walls, and energy-absorbing foam lining the shell that work together to distribute crash forces, shield from vehicle intrusion, and contain the head, neck and body.

Superior 360-Degree Protection to Minimize the Risk of Injury
The Marathon offers a variety of superior crash force management features to keep your child properly positioned and protected. First, the patented, energy-absorbing Versa-Tether has staged-release tether webbing, anchoring the top of the seat at two points to minimize forward movement. For growing babies, the tangle-free, five-point harness offers multiple harness heights for a snug, custom fit.

For additional protection, the Harness Ultra Guard System (HUGS) reduces forward head movement, while both the EPS foam liner and base are designed to absorb energy.

Superior Ease-of-Use for Safety and Convenience
Packed with perks for parents, the Marathon includes push-button lower LATCH connectors for quick, simple, and tight installation, and a front harness adjuster allows for easy loosening of the straps. Built-in lock-offs secure the vehicle seat belt and prevent the car seat from moving more than one inch side-to-side and front-to-back at the belt path.

A small contoured base ensures a tight installation in all types of vehicle seats, while convenient holders keep harness straps out of the way while you're placing your child in the seat.

The Marathon Convertible Car Seat is available in the following patterns: Onyx, Mariposa, Cowmooflage, Mossy Oak Limited Edition, and New Denim.

The Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat is backed by a one-year limited warranty.
