Britax Car Seat Question

Charlotte has already outgrown her infant car seat and we have decided that we want to buy a Britax for her next car seat.  We are looking at the Boulevard and the Marathon.  Does anyone have either of these?  Is there a major reason why we should pay more for the Boulevard or is the Marathon just as good?

Thanks! 

Re: Britax Car Seat Question

  • We have the Marathon and love it.  Now that I'm looking at the Boulevard it seems it has extra padding and some sort of harness indicator.  Not sure if that would be worth the extra $70 to me.

    And totally superficial, but we also like that the Marathon has pretty and fun patterns to choose from.  DD loves her pretty car seat.  She feels sorry for kids with boring ones. ;)

  • We have a Britax Marathon for DS and plan on getting another one for DD since she is almost ready for a conversible seat too. 

    They are very roomy seats so having a larger vehicle helps. The harness clasp locks very smoothly and I love the velcroon the seat that hold the seatbelt open for the child to get in. I would definately recommend the Marathon

  • We looked at the Marathon but when we put Ben in it he hated it. I don't know if it was not enough padding or something else (didn't look to have as much as the other seats).

    I can't believe the Boulevard is $70 more..that is insane considering the Marathon is $299 at BRU.

    Our new seats just arrived yesterday. We got 2 of the new True Fits. I am insanely excited to get them in the vehicles. (Jen = Geeked )

    Can you take Charlotte and have her try out the 2 seats and see if she prefers one over the other?

     

  • We have both the Boulevard and the Marathon, and they are virtually the same from what I can tell except that the Boulevard has an extra safety feature, those white side impact protection pieces attached to the outside of each side of the car seat, which does make it take up extra room, so be prepared and make sure it will fit in your vehicle - the Boulevard is even larger than the already massive Marathon. Our son seems to like them both the same.
