During a side impact crash, a child's head and chest are extremely vulnerable to injury. To best protect your baby in the event of such a crash, the Chaperone Infant Carrier features Britax's True Side Impact Protection system. This system protects your baby by distributing crash forces and shielding your child from vehicle intrusion.
The True Side Impact Protection System also ensures that your baby's head and body are safely contained within the car seat, and that your child's head, neck, and spine are properly aligned to help prevent injury. Making sure that this vital system protects your baby's entire body, the True Side Impact Protection system encompasses multiple areas of the seat, including the deep side walls of the seat shell and the adjustable head restraint that is lined with energy-absorbing foam.
Click and Safe System for the Correct Level of Snugness
The Marathon CS Convertible Car Seat also comes complete with Britax's Click and Safe system, which provides an audible indication to help you determine when the child seat harness is within range of appropriate snugness. Located in the seat's adjuster housing unit, the Click and Safe mechanism has been engineered to sense tension when the adjuster strap is pulled, helping to limit injuries caused by improper positioning in the car seat.
Loose harness straps leave children vulnerable during a crash, as they may allow the child to move out of a safe, secure position. With the Click and Safe system, however, you can be assured that the straps are snug enough to keep your child in the proper, secure place should an accident occur.
Superior Comfort and Positioning Features Offer Safety and Convenience
The Marathon CS comes complete with a tangle-free, five-point harness with four harness heights for a snug and secure fit that grows with your child. It also offers premium push-button LATCH connectors for quick, simple, and tight installation. The Marathon CS also offers the patented Versa-Tether, which tethers the seat at two top-located points. This unique system is designed to minimize forward movement when the car stops suddenly. It also can be used for seat stabilization in the rear-facing configuration. The Marathon's energy-managing protective foam minimizes impact forces. Built-in lock-offs tightly secure the vehicle seat belt, and convenient harness holders keep harness straps to the sides while parents place their child in the car seat. For an extra layer of protection, patented HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard System) reduces forward head movement and gently cushions your baby's neck and chest.
And because a comfortable baby is a happy baby, the Marathon CS offers high density comfort foam to gently cushion your child, and a plush, washable cover with matching comfort and belly pads.
Weight and Height Range
The Marathon CS is designed for rear-facing use by babies weighing from four to 35 pounds, measuring 49 inches or less, and with a seated shoulder height of 10.5 to 16 inches. This car seat can also be used in the forward-facing position when your baby is older than one year, weighs between 20 and 65 pounds, has a height of 49 inches or less, and has a seated shoulder height of 12 to 16 inches.
